The Tigers’ season-opening west coast road trip came to its final game on Wednesday afternoon (certainly a relief for those of us tired of staying up for late games!). The Tigers turned to Tarik Skubal for the pitching matchup, and the Mariners brought Luis Castillo to the mound.
In the first, Riley Greene got things going with a one-out ground rule double, but two outs quickly followed, to start stranding Tigers early. In the home half things started to look rough early on. After two outs, Cal Raleigh singled, then Randy Arozarena doubled. Neither scored, but it was a sign of bad things to come.
