The Detroit Tigers home opener got so ugly, so out of whack, that it turned into a chance to roll out a bunch of youngsters.
For better or worse.
Four different pitchers made their Tigers debut on Monday night and Michael Fulmer returned to the mound for the first time in nearly two years, as the Kansas City Royals pummeled the Tigers, 14-6.
All in all, it was one of the strangest home openers you will ever see.
In an empty stadium devoid of any magic or sizzle.
With crowd noise piped through loudspeakers.
