Happy Monday, and it was a Monday Funday at Comerica Park, let me tell you. To open their series against the Red Sox, the Tigers called on Jackson Jobe to pitch, while the Red Sox turned to Tanner Houck.
In the first inning Rafael Devers got a one-out single, but he was the only baserunner for the Red Sox. The Tigers, meanwhile, didn’t waste much time before scoring some runs. Kerry Carpenter hit a leadoff single, then Gleyber Torres hammered a home run to bring in two runs.
Riley Greene collected a one-out single, but the Tigers would need to settle for the two runs and a nice early lead.
