Detroit — It was like watching a baseball game in a snow globe for the first couple of innings.
Not that the sub-freezing temperatures and snow flurries could dampened the spirits of the 8,000 revved up fans who were back at Comerica Park for the first time since the end of 2019 season.
Nor did it seem to bother Miguel Cabrera or Matthew Boyd a whole lot.
Cabrera lined a two-run home run to right field into the teeth of the snow in the first inning and Boyd pitched 5.2 innings of scoreless ball as the Tigers opened the 2021 season, and the AJ Hinch managerial era, with a 3-2 win over the Cleveland Indians.
