In the early stages of a rebuild, the Tigers season is all but finished. But, a new season is just around the corner.
The Tigers will open the 2018 season March 29 at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates — the earliest opening date in Comerica Park history — as they unveiled their 162-game schedule Tuesday.
The opener is part of a six-game homestand to kick off the season, which includes three games against the Kansas City Royals from April 2-4.
The Tigers also will play host to the defending World Series champion Chicago Cubs on Aug.
