The Detroit Tigers are set to shine under the national spotlight once again as they host the Toronto Blue Jays for a "Friday Night Baseball" showdown on May 15 at Comerica Park. This marks the Tigers' seventh national TV appearance of the season, and their second on Apple TV+—so if you're a fan of the Olde English D, you won't want to miss this primetime clash.
Because the game is being broadcast nationally, it will not be available on Detroit SportsNet. That means you'll need to tune in via Apple TV+ to catch all the action live. It's a great opportunity to see the Tigers in a high-stakes series opener against a tough AL East rival.
The Tigers are looking to bounce back after a tough series in New York, where they were swept by the Mets, including a 9-4 loss on Thursday afternoon. Despite the recent struggles, Detroit has shown flashes of brilliance on national TV this season. Here's a quick recap of their previous national broadcasts:
- Sunday, April 5: Lost to the Cardinals, 5-3 (Peacock)
- Friday, April 17: Lost to the Red Sox, 1-0 in 10 innings (Apple TV)
- Sunday, May 3: Defeated the Rangers, 7-1 (Peacock)
With a 1-2 record on national TV so far, the Tigers will be hungry to even the score in front of a nationwide audience. Whether you're gearing up in your favorite Tigers gear or just tuning in for the Friday night lights, this is a game that promises plenty of drama and excitement.
