The Detroit Tigers are taking their hot start on the road. After sweeping all three of their home series to open the season, they face a classic American League test: a four-game set against the Boston Red Sox at historic Fenway Park. This weekend series will be a true measure of their early-season momentum.
The action kicks off Friday, April 17th, with a 7:15 PM ET first pitch on Apple TV. Saturday's game (April 18th) starts at 4:10 PM ET, followed by a 1:35 PM ET matchup on Sunday (April 19th), and an early 11:10 AM ET start on Monday (April 20th). All games will be broadcast on 97.1 The Ticket, with Saturday through Monday's contests also airing on Bally Sports Detroit.
The pitching matchups promise some intriguing storylines. Friday's opener features Tigers' right-hander Casey Mize, who has been solid in two of his three starts this year, against Boston's new ace, lefty Ranger Suárez. Suárez, signed to a massive $140 million deal this winter, is looking to build on a brilliant six-inning, shutout performance in his last outing.
Saturday showcases Detroit's ace, the electric Tarik Skubal (2-2, 2.22 ERA), facing Red Sox righty Brayan Bello. The series wraps with lefty Framber Valdez going for Detroit on Sunday against Boston's Garrett Crochet, and right-hander Jack Flaherty getting the nod for the Tigers in Monday's finale against veteran Sonny Gray.
For Tigers fans making the trip to Boston or watching from home, this series is a perfect opportunity to represent your team. Whether you're cheering for Mize's splitter or Skubal's dominance, wearing your Detroit gear adds to the atmosphere of this timeless rivalry.
