Tigers Open West Coast Trip
The Tigers had yesterday off, and open an interleague series against the Dodgers on the West Coast tonight. Max Scherzer will start against Dan Haren. We’ll join the game after Red Wings hockey on AM 1400, WCCY.

The Red Wings have four games remaining in the final week of the regular season… starting tonight at Buffalo. Faceoff is at 7:00 on AM 1400, WCCY.
