The grounds crew arrived to Comerica Park around sunrise Wednesday morning — well before the Detroit Tigers showed up — to clean a sheet of snow from the outfield greens. After Tuesday's game was postponed because of a mixture of snow, rain and sleet, the players returned to the field for a seven-inning doubleheader.
The Tigers (6-11) lost, 3-2, to the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader. It was their first game at Comerica Park since April 7. They went 3-7 on a 10-game road trip that took them to Cleveland, Houston and Oakland.
