The Los Angeles Dodgers swung for the fences Friday night and two early home runs proved to be enough to overcome a Detroit Tigers team that couldn’t get much of anything going on the West Coast. The Game 1 loss brings the Tigers down to 6-13 on the year and is now the sixth in a row for Detroit.
The Dodgers didn’t take much time to get the party going against the Tigers. Tyler Alexander was on the bump for the Tigers and struggled once with command once again. Freddie Freeman worked the first 3-2 count of the night into a walk and promptly stole his second bag of the season.
