Bonus: Kevin McGonigle era begins with Detroit Tigers' Opening Day win
Thursday, 26 March, 2026
Detroit Tigers top prospect Kevin McGonigle made the Opening Day roster — and the 21-year-old recorded four hits in his first game as the Tigers earned an 8-2 win over the San Diego Padres on Opening Day. He became the first Tigers player since 1987 (and the second in franchise history) to collect four hits in his MLB debut, which included a two-run double to the right-field corner (nicknamed McGonigle Corner) on the first pitch he saw from Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta in the first inning. On "Days of Roar," Evan Petzold and Chris Brown break it all down in a bonus episode, going inside the clubhouse to hear from McGonigle, manager A.J. Hinch, president of baseball operations Scott Harris and left-hander Tarik Skubal. After the McGonigle talk, Petzold and Brown evaluate the other final roster decisions, player storylines to watch throughout the season and whether it's World Series or bust for the Tigers, plus postseason and awards predictions for both the American League and National League.
