Detroit Tigers 2018 schedule features Cubs, Cardinals
DETROIT (WJBK) - There's still a few weeks left in the 2017 Detroit Tigers season but the fans, like the team, are looking toward the future with the release of the 2018 schedule.
The Tigers will open the season on March 29 at Comerica Park against Pittsburgh at 1:10. That's a Thursday game followed by an off day on the 30th and then back to back games on the 31st and 1st of April.
Who will be the Opening Day starter for the Tigers is a mystery as the team will be without Justin Verlander on the mound for Opening Day for the first time in a decade.
The highlights of the Interleague schedule, beyond the Pirates, include the Chicago Cubs (August 21-22) and the St. Louis Cardinals (September 7-9). The team will wrap the season with a three-game series in Milwaukee against the Brewers.
The 2018 schedule will feature several exciting promotions and theme nights, including the annual Pink out the Park (May 13 vs. SEA), Negro Leagues Weekend (June 8-10 vs. CLE), ¡Fiesta Tigres! (August 11 vs. MIN) and the 1968 World Series Championship 50th Anniversary Weekend (September 7-9 vs. STL). A complete promotional lineup will be announced at a later date.
The Tigers will celebrate a pair of summer holidays with their fans at Comerica Park. Detroit wraps up a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 13, while the Tigers will open a four-game set against the Los Angeles Angels on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28.
