The Detroit Tigers return home after a three-game visit with the Toronto Blue Jays, in which they managed to take the final game of the series to prevent the sweep. Now back in the friendly confines of Comerica Park, the Motor City Kitties turn their attention to their first interleague matchup of the young season against the San Francisco Giants.
The visitors from the Golden City arrive in Motown fourth in the competitive National League West standings, a half-game ahead of the Colorado Rockies and a game behind the San Diego Padres. The Tigers, on the other hand, are in the cellar of the American League Central Division and just a half-game better than the major league-worst Oakland Athletics.
