The Detroit Tigers got off to a great start to their 2021 season on Thursday when they snuck by the Cleveland Indians in a snowy Comerica Park, 3-2, on Major League Baseball’s opening day. Miguel Cabrera gave the fans a brief glimpse of what he is capable of with his two-run opposite shot to pace the offense while Matthew Boyd scored a win behind a 5 2⁄3 inning shutout effort. Now after a day off, the team turns its attention to Game 2.
The weather for Saturday’s affair is expected to be much warmer for the second of the three-game series in Detroit, which may or may not bode well for the home team given how well they performed in near white-out conditions.
