Detroit — It was a good day for a couple of Tigers rookies. Less than for the Tigers as a whole. The Cleveland Indians scored four times off reliever Daniel Norris in the top of the seventh inning and salvaged the third game of the season-opening series with an 9-3 romp Sunday at Comerica Park. BOX
The Tigers built a slim early lead behind a good outing from starter Tarik Skubal. They even got some early heroics from two new faces. Ultimately it wasn’t enough as the bullpen melted down to lose this one to Cleveland 9-3. For the third time in three games, the Detroit Tigers took a first inning
