The party and atmosphere were fantastic, like always — a typical Opening Day in the D. The streets around Comerica Park were jammed with smiling faces on Thursday morning. The stadium was sold out with 44,650 fans, and a helicopter buzzed overhead. The weather? Pretty dang good, which means there was no snow flurries or
DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera said Thursday morning that he wasn’t sure if he’d get emotional for his final Tigers home opener. He wanted to focus on the game.

Brenan Hanifee and Jackson Kowar would square off on the mound, both looking to add a solid start to the early portion of their seasons. The Mud Hens got started early, PAPILLION, NE – The Toledo
Opening Day at Comerica Park started off well enough. There was a nice flyover, and Miguel Cabrera got to throw out the first pitch with three Detroit sports legends. But that was the highlight as the Tigers fell to the BoSox, 6-3. Jake Rogers hit a two-run shot to start the scoring for the Tigers.
Spencer Turnbull dodged danger at least once.

Detroit — The one thing Miguel Cabrera doesn’t understand about this whole “final ride” business is when people expect him to feel wistful and melancholic. It’s not been about that for him; at least not yet. “I’m not sad,” Cabrera said hours before the last home opener of his career. “I’m happy because I’ve been

Detroit — When the Tigers hit a wall, at least literally, it’s not going to sting as bad.
