Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera (hip), expects to be in lineup Saturday

Free Press sports writers Anthony Fenech and George Sipple give their thoughts on the first few games of the Detroti Tigers' 2018 season from Comerica Park.

CHICAGO — Miguel Cabrera was nervous.

But Cabrera, the Tigers’ first baseman who left Thursday afternoon’s comeback win over the White Sox in the second inning, wasn’t concerned with the injury that forced him out.

He was caught up in the game, which ended up a 9-7 win in 10 innings.

“When you don’t play and you don’t watch, you feel a lot of excitement,” he said.
