The Oakland Athletics hit the road for the first time in this 2024 MLB season today as they faced the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Lefty JP Sears took the mound for the A’s. Lefty Tarik Skubal got the start for Detroit. The temperature at first pitch was 43 degrees, and snow started falling in the top of the third. It lasted for half an inning and then the sun snuck out again.
Both starters cruised through the first three innings, each allowing just one base runner and no real threats. Matt Vierling homered to deep left in the top of the fourth to start the scoring.
