If all goes according to the Detroit Tigers’ plans, the team – and its fans – will have some late nights to finish the regular season. They’ll also have a busy end of July and start of August.
The Tigers’ original Opening Day was already set to leave fans a bit sleepless, with a 10 p.m. start time against the Mariners in Seattle, plus three other games from April 1-3. But the delay in reaching a new collective bargaining agreement meant that opening series in Washington, as well as the second series, a 3-gamer against the Athletics in Oakland, California, (originally set for April 4-7) had to be rescheduled.
