Tonight's Detroit Tigers game a hot ticket thanks to Shohei Ohtani

Ticket sales for the Detroit Tigers - along with the rest of baseball - have been pretty slow so far this season.

But tonight's game against the Los Angeles Angels has more meaning, and it's leading to an uptick of interest on the secondary market.

Two words: Shohei Ohtani.

If you're a baseball fan, you already know who he is, but for those who need a quick explainer: Ohtani is the 23-year-old, two-way phenom signed by the Angels in the off-season from Japan. He hits and pitches — and does both very well.
