Why Detroit Tigers decided to play baseball on a night that transcended sports

On a night that upstaged sports, two men stood on the field at Comerica Park for pregame warmups Wednesday: Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer and Chicago Cubs lefty Jon Lester.

Two starting pitchers going through their routines near the warning track on opposite sides of the field. Yet, there was a different feeling about the three-game series finale, full of uncertainties for what might happen next.

All coming back to the same question — to play, or not to play?

The Milwaukee Bucks boycotted their NBA playoff game Wednesday against the Orlando Magic to protest Sunday's police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Wisconsin.
