In addition to Torkelson, catcher Dillon Dingler, outfielder Jahmai Jones and infielder/outfielder Zach McKinstry. The full lineup is below.

Detroit Tigers Make Historic Comerica Park Announcement After Cubs Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers took two of three games from the Chicago Cubs at Comerica Park this past weekend, with star pitchers Tarik Skubal and Jack Flaherty leading the way in the Motor City.

The Detroit Tigers have been the best team in baseball through the first 70 games and on Friday they made a major announcement about another achievement.

“I said goodbye to Tito not too long ago, now I’ve gotta say hello again,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch joked ahead of Friday’s series opener. “I love that guy, I love watching him, he’s great for the game.”

The stairs lead to a nondescript green door. Almost a mysterious entry point. But like all things with the Tigers these days, there was a specific, targeted purpose. The stairs and the door lead to Detroit’s so-called smart cage, a project completed midway through last season as part of the team’s multiyear overhaul of the home clubhouse.

Fan bases of Major League Baseball’s best teams, the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago Cubs, came together to sell out Comerica Park during the weekend series.

An early June series in Detroit hasn’t been must-see baseball in recent years. But as the MLB-leading Tigers (42-24) host the National League’s top team — the Chicago Cubs (40-24) — Comerica Park is busy as ever.

The Detroit Tigers are a team that the city should be proud of, which they showed in a potential World Series preview this weekend.
