A franchise legend is making his 2026 debut for the Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers (2-1) are facing the Arizona Diamondbacks (0-3) in the first game of a three-game series on Monday, March 30, at Chase Field in Phoenix. And you might need a caffeinated beverage to get through the game, since first pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET on Detroit SportsNet.
Tonight’s game features the return of 43-year-old starter Justin Verlander, making his first start for the Tigers since 2017. The likely future Hall-of-Famer signed with the Tigers in the offseason after spending his first 13 MLB seasons in Detroit, where he was a six-time All-Star and the 2011 American League Cy Young Award winner.
