The Detroit Tigers thought they won, but as it turned out they lost 13-10 in 13 innings to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the season opener on Friday at Comerica Park. Nick Castellanos was originally called safe at home in the bottom of the tenth, and the Tigers began to celebrate a win. But after a five minute video review, the call was overturned and the game continued. In the 13th the Pirates took the lead for good on a three run home run from Gregory Polanco, who finished the day with three hits and 4 RBI. The Tigers gave up four runs in the top of the ninth to fall behind 10-6, but rallied in the bottom of the ninth for four runs to force extra innings. Dixon Machado had two hits and 3 RBI, while Miguel Cabrera and James McCann each had two hits and two RBI. The teams play again on Saturday afternoon.
