DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers are celebrating the 35th anniversary of their 1984 World Series team this weekend.
Thanks to the Washington Nationals, the Tigers were also provided with memories of their two most recent World Series clubs.
Anibal Sanchez, a member of Detroit’s 2012 World Series team, beat his former team for his third win in four starts, Juan Soto hit his 14th home run of the season and the Nationals defeated the Tigers 3-1 on Friday night.
Sanchez (4-6), who went 46-49 for the Tigers from 2012-17, was facing his old team for the first time.
