Detroit — As the Tigers were paying silent tribute to the late Aretha Franklin before the game Tuesday, a spectacular rainbow broke through the clouds and hovered in the sky for a couple of minutes.
Was the Queen of Soul looking down on her beloved Tigers?
Who’s to say?
If she was, the Tigers treated her to a pretty good baseball game.
The Tigers made two first-inning runs hold up and beat the Chicago Cubs, owners of the best record in the National League, 2-1.
The Cubs are in an offensive funk right now, thus the move to acquire Daniel Murphy from the Nationals earlier in the day Tuesday.
