Detroit — As first years of a rebuild go, the 2018 home campaign could have gone a heck of a lot worse for the Tigers.
They put Comerica Park to bed for another year on Sunday, with a meek 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals — a team whose rebuilding year went a lot worse. The Tigers finish with a 38-43 home record.
The wins and losses aside, it was an eventful season at the old yard. The Rally Goose, four walk-off home runs, the parade of young players getting their first taste of the big leagues, the heart-tugging ceremonies to honor Hall-of-Famers Jack Morris and Alan Trammell, the 50-year anniversary bash for the 1968 championship team and finally, the farewell to Victor Martinez on Saturday.
