Francisco Liriano helping Tigers win now, and maybe later

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.

Francisco Liriano was on the mound for the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, creating all kinds of drama and excitement with his five innings of no-hit ball at Comerica Park.
