Tigers Win Opener Against Cubs

Game 62 @ CHC

The outcome was never in doubt, but the Cubs made some strides toward changing that.

The Tigers' offense is still firing on all cylinders. They had 6 doubles collectively.

Miguel Cabrera was a homer shy of the cycle.

The pitching for the Tigers was a bit weird. Josh Beckett didn't finish the 7th. He also gave up 2. (His ERA heads above 1.00 for the first time in a while).

John Mayberry, Jr. faced 2 batters. Collin Balester registered a save because those runners reached base in the 9th.
