The Detroit Tigers were set for a rest day following a series with the New York Mets, but Mother Nature had other plans. Rainouts on Tuesday and Wednesday led to an unexpected doubleheader against the Mets on Thursday. This shift in schedule meant the Tigers had less time to recuperate and prepare for their upcoming game on Opening Day at Comerica Park.
Despite the disrupted schedule, Tigers fans are in for a treat as they will witness their ace pitcher and potential Cy Young candidate, Tarik Skubal, take the mound. Skubal’s stellar performance in his first start of the season against the Chicago White Sox showcased his dominance on the field.
The Tigers made a strategic move by adding a 27th player to the roster for the doubleheader, bringing up Matt Manning from Triple-A Toledo. This decision allowed Skubal to save his debut at Comerica Park for the highly anticipated Opening Day game.
