Detroit — The newest Detroit Tiger certainly made a positive impression Wednesday in his debut.

Pitcher Chris Paddack, acquired Monday from the Minnesota Twins, threw six impressive innings and the Tigers offense again exploded in a 7-2 victory for a three-game series sweep over Arizona.

Paddack allowed one run on three hits, walked none and struck out five while helping extend the Tigers’ win streak to four games.

“He was exceptional,” manager AJ Hinch said. “Efficient; he was a dominant first-strike thrower, exactly what we talk about. I wanted his first outing to leave with a good note and he didn’t have a lot of pitches left. It’s been a whirlwind 48 hours for him.

“But we couldn’t have asked for more out of him.”

Looking to bolster their starting pitching depth, the Tigers acquired Paddack (and reliever Randy Dobnak) from the Twins for minor league catcher Enrique Jimenez. Paddack was only 3-9 with a 4.95 ERA in Minnesota — but his performance Wednesday belied those statistics.

Paddack retired the last eight hitters he faced, and only faced the minimum nine hitters through the first three innings, keeping the reeling Diamondbacks at bay.

The bearded Paddack already was acclimated with the Tigers’ recent resurgence, correlating their four-game win streak — after a lengthy losing stretch — with Riley Greene’s decision to go with a mustache.

“I don’t know, I’ve heard their magic,” said Paddack of the facial hair. “I’m not bad luck. It was good to have some success on a team that is young and hungry and winning some ballgames. I’m just super blessed for this opportunity and excited to build these relationships over the next couple of months.”

The only blemish against Paddack was in the fourth inning, just after the Tigers had taken a 1-0 lead on Kerry Carpenter’s RBI triple. Arizona’s Corbin Carroll led off with a double, moved to third on a grounder and scored on Geraldo Perdomo’s single.

“He did great, he’s a pro’s pro,” catcher Jake Rogers said of Paddack. “He came ready to go. He did his homework and did everything he needed to do. Our meeting today was seamless. We got on the same page pretty quickly.”

Perdomo would add a solo home run (his 11th) in the ninth inning off relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle.

The Tigers have now scored 34 runs in these four consecutive victories (8.5 average). During their two-week lull, they scored all of 33 runs in 13 games.

“I see connected at-bats,” said Hinch of the difference. “It’s positive things happening, the outs and lengths of at-bats are better. We were opportunistic today, we didn’t let them off the hook. When you look at the board and see who had a good day, you can rattle off four or five guys, if not more, and that team offense generates runs.”

Hinch also sees a team that has stayed the course emotionally through the ups and downs of recent weeks — while clinging to the mustache craze the last few days.

“Some ugly facial hair, and I know we don’t want that to be a thing,” said Hinch of what he’s seen from his team. “But on the baseball side what I’m seeing is guys growing up a bit and realizing nothing is given to you, no matter how well you’ve played for months. It’s a six-month season and our guys understand that.

“It’s not just a good team because we win a lot of games, but how we operate and how we interact and the things we do to get ready to play.”

Carpenter had two hits (including a two-run homer) and drove in three runs, Rogers hit a two-run home run and Colt Keith had three hits and scored twice, as the Tigers collected 11 hits overall.

The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the third when Keith singled to open the inning, and with one out, Carpenter tripled into the right-field corner.

The Tigers took command in the fifth and sixth innings.

In the fifth, Rogers reached base when Perdomo, the Diamondbacks’ shortstop, was charged with a fielding and throwing error on the same play, enabling Rogers to get to second. Keith lined his third single of the game, scoring Rogers and giving the Tigers a 2-1 lead.

Then with two out, Carpenter lofted a long home run into the right-field seats, his 17th, extending the lead to 4-1.

The Tigers added on in the sixth inning. Wenceel Perez and Zach McKinstry lined consecutive doubles with one out to make it 5-1. Then with two out, Rogers blasted his third home run to close out Detroit’s scoring.

The Tigers are off Thursday before opening a three-game series Friday in Philadelphia. But Thursday also brings the trade deadline at 6 p.m. and the Tigers, by virtue of their success, could be active in trying to fortify their roster.

But players insist they aren’t focused on what might happen.

“I don’t think we’ve said one word about it,” Rogers said. “We’ve talked about Paddack being over here and that trade, but honestly, I haven’t talked to anybody about it and we’re just going about our business. Being part of a couple of deadlines, it’s been kind of crazy around here in the past years. The best way to do it is whatever happens, happens, and a lot of guys have that mentality.

“We’re just going to keep playing hard.”
