It is officially baseball season in Detroit and the Tigers are heating up in the first month of their season. The Tigers started off their season strong and began with a noticeably good record.
The Tigers were the last team undefeated in Major League Baseball before facing the New York Mets and dropping that game 2-1.

The Tigers had their home opener on April 5, beating the Athletics 5-4, which shot a sliver of hope back into Detroit.
The show out for the home opener of 2024 was very promising. Though since that game, the Tigers have posted a losing record.
