St. Louis – The Tigers knew they were going up against a wounded animal Friday night.
The vaunted St. Louis Cardinals came in on a six-game losing streak, had just 10 wins on the season and were winless in 10 series-openers this season.
“Don’t let their record fool you,” manager AJ Hinch said before the game. “This is a really good baseball team with a really good set of players who are not only recognizable, but they’re really talented. We want to get in and out of town before they get going.”
So far, so good.
