This will be an Opening Day at Comerica Park like no other.
The Tigers play their home opener Monday night, taking on the Kansas City Royals in an American League Central showdown beginning at 7:10 p.m. And, while Opening Days at Comerica usually boast sold-out crowds and plenty of fanfare, this one will be played in a near-empty stadium because of the pandemic.
Fans will miss seeing a first-place Tigers team (sure, it's early) in person, after Detroit took two out of three in Cincinnati and shares the AL Central top spot with Cleveland and Minnesota.
