Detroit Tigers: A Brief History of Tigers from Canada

The Detroit Tigers head to Canada tonight for a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The last time the Tigers traveled to the Great White North was March 2019, for the first four games of the season. Jordan Zimmermann and Matt Moore started games for Detroit in that series split, with Daniel Stumpf and Victor Alcántara picking up wins. So yes, it’s been awhile.

Perhaps younger Detroit Tigers fans don’t particularly care much about the Toronto Blue Jays, but for much of the 1980s they were one of Detroit’s biggest AL East rivals.
