The Detroit Tigers return to the diamond today after having an off day yesterday following a 1-0 win on Opening Day over the Chicago White Sox which saw Tarik Skubal go six innings and not allow a run on three hits; he didn’t issue a walk and struck out six. Kenta Maeda will get the ball today and he is making his Tigers debut today as he goes up against Michael Soroka for the Chicago White Sox. Today the Tigers signed 26-year-old catcher Stephen Scott to a minor league contract.
