DETROIT DUB! #TigersWin

Tigers Night at Little Caesars Arena! 🏒⚾️ First 7,500 fans will receive a co-branded hat, courtesy of @MotorCityCasino Hotel!

No place we'd rather be with 44,735 of our closest friends. 🧡 💙

114.3 MPH off the bat and WAY outta here! 💥 Second hardest hit ball of Riley's career and third hardest hit HR in @MLB this year.

Riley Greene smashed a 3-1 cutter. Left his bat at 114.3 mph and flew 417 feet to the back of the seats in right field. Third homer of the season

Big applause for Jack Flaherty. 5.2 IP 3 H 1 ER 2 BB 7 K 95 pitchers 59 strikes

Sweeney speed 💨

Jack Flaherty rolling. Hasn't allowed a hit since the second inning. He's got six strikeouts in five innings. Four-seam and slider doing the heavy lifting.

Carp crush 💪

Tork tacks on another!

Third career multi-homer game for Kerry! 💪

Tigers picking on Andrew Benintendi's arm in left. First Tork challenged him and won and now Riley Greene challenged him and won. Scored on a single by Tork. 5-1 Tigers

Lefty on lefty homer for Kerry Carpenter. Two homers today for Carp.

CARP AGAIN

McKinstry sneaks one through for the lead!

"He is on fire with the Bob Ross brush. That is just PAINTED." - @AndyDirks12 🎨 5 K through 3 IP for Jack!

Aggressive send by Joey Cora pays off. High throw home allows Tork to score on hard single to right by Zach McKinstry. Two HBP, 3 BB by White Sox starter Jonathan Cannon, Tigers have cashed just one so far

Substitute pitcher.

Flaherty got the first two outs in the second inning in four pitches. It took him another 18 to finish the inning. Two out walk to Matt Thaiss set up the trouble. RBI double by Brooks Baldwin tied the game, off-line relay throw by Sweeney contributed

We had no doubts. First 💣 of the season at @ComericaPark belongs to Kerry Carpenter!

Actor Keegan Michael-Key throws a perfect first-pitch strike in Detroit to kick off the Tigers home opener! ⚾️
