Welcome back to Comerica Park, BYB friends, as the Tigers celebrated their home opener and tried to break up the four-way 2-4 tie for first in the AL Central. The weather was a bit cool, but despite what MLB TV incorrectly suggested, the game was not postponed due to weather.
Jack Flaherty was on the bump for the Tigers, up against Jonathan Cannon for the White Sox. Flaherty was coming off a very solid outing in Los Angeles against his former teammates, so expectations were high for his performance today.
Flaherty was favoring a slider today, and it was working for him.
