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.
CLEVELAND — Detroit Tigers pitcher Jordan Zimmermann's start lasted seven pitches.
Two batters into the game against Cleveland on Wednesday night, he was hit in the side of the face on a line drive from Jason Kipnis.
Because Zimmermann suffered a broken jaw in 2007, he said that saved him from a broken jaw this time. Per the Tigers, he suffered a right jaw contusion and is still being evaluated.
