It took nearly four months longer than expected, but the Tigers kicked off their 2020 season today. For all of you out there wondering whether this team will contend for the first overall pick or sneak into the expanded playoff picture, Detroit suffered their worst Opening Day loss since 2002 (when they fell 10-1 to the Cleveland Indians), losing 7-1 to the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark. One game closer to Kumar Rocker!
Early Woes
Jonathan Schoop notched the Tigers’ first hit of the abbreviated 2020 campaign by knocking an outside pitch from Sonny Gray into right field off the end of his bat.
