Saturday was Red Wings Day at the ballpark, as fans packed into Comerica Park for a pleasant day in downtown Detroit and 15,000 of our most punctual fans received a free Tigers sweater! How fun.
Unfortunately for the not-so-punctual fans in attendance, they could have used that sweater, as Tigers hitters went ice-cold during Saturday’s action. The lowly Athletics defeat the upstart Tigers 4-0, tarnishing the dream of a 40th-anniversary 35-5 start to the season. Perhaps the team was metaphorically (or literally!) hungover from the Red Wings losing last night’s Tigers Night game by one run?
