Tigers 2018 schedule: A chilly interleague home opener coming in March

The Detroit Tigers will open the 2018 season Comerica Park on March 29 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

It's the earliest Opening Day in Major League history due to a new collective bargaining agreement, which adds extra off days to the schedule.

The Tigers will open the season against a National League team for the second time in three years. They opened on the road at the NL's Miami Marlins in 2016. This year, they played their first game at the Chicago White Sox.

In 2018, the Tigers will travel to Pittsburgh to play the return series against the Pirates on April 24-26.
