The Detroit Tigers return to the comfortable confines of Comerica Park this weekend to host the Minnesota Twins for a four-game American League Central tangle in the Motor City. The opener on Thursday afternoon was postponed due to inclement weather, resulting in a straight doubleheader on Saturday sandwiched between two single games.
So far, AJ Hinch’s squad is a perfect 3-0 against fellow division teams thanks to a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox on the road to open things up. The Twinkies are 2-3 against the same overall cohort after taking two of three from the Kansas City Royals in their season-opening series before dropping two to the Cleveland Guardians — the third of which was unsurprisingly postponed due to weather.
