Tigers Roar To Opening Day Win

DETROIT — Alex Gonzalez started last Opening Day at first base in Milwaukee after 13 season openers at shortstop. He called it “kind of boring.”
His return to shortstop for his 15th Opening Day was anything but dull. His Tigers debut might well have aged a record Opening Day crowd by the end, and made him seem elderly early on. By the time it ended with his walk-off single in a 4-3 victory over the Royals, the game seemed to take a few years off his age.
When his fourth-inning error helped fuel a three-run Royals rally, his tenure in Motown felt like it had an autumn wind to it. When Gonzalez tied the game in the seventh with his first triple in three years, almost to the day, he was getting cheered by some of the same fans who booed him.
