Tigers fall to 0-3 after Pirates sweep doubleheader

Detroit — On the plus side, no one froze to death.

And, yes, there was a ninth-inning ruckus that spurred thoughts of Friday’s craziness and of rallies that might deliver late Sunday a minor Motown miracle.

But it all ended glumly for the winless Tigers as they lost both games of their Easter doubleheader against the Pirates at ice-cold Comerica Park.

Ron Gardenhire’s team is three games into a new season and three games into the loss column, even if Gardenhire suggested after Sunday’s finale that the Tigers weren’t quite accepting Friday’s 13-inning, 13-10 defeat, which tore a victory from Detroit with the help of a crazy replay reversal.
