The Detroit Tigers’ series opening game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park on Friday night was a wild one, with the good guys emerging victorious in extra innings 17-13 after scoring 16 runs against the Bucs’ bullpen. Matthew Boyd got bombed out of the game early, but the Tigers’ bats brought the heavy artillery in later for a game that was perfectly on-brand for 2020.
On Saturday afternoon, Iván Nova heads to the mound to face Derek Holland in hopes of clinching the road series win for his team.
