But as the MLB-leading Tigers (42-24) host the National League’s top team — the Chicago Cubs (40-24) — Comerica Park is busy as ever.

Jahmai Jones — pinch-hitting in his Detroit Tigers debut — crushed a home run on the first pitch he saw in the eighth inning June 6 at Comerica Park.

The Chicago Cubs hit five home runs, including two by Seiya Suzuki, and went on to a 6-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday afternoon.

Jack Flaherty has been welcomed back with open arms after Detroit traded him to the Los Angeles Dodgers at last year's deadline. After a shaky patch in late April and early May, he has centered himself nicely with a 3.72 ERA and 1.09 WHIP.
