Detroit Tigers vs. Baltimore Orioles: Spring Training Game Time, Broadcast Information
By Matt Snyder
The Detroit Tigers open the 2017 Grapefruit League season today with a spring training game against the Baltimore Orioles. Here’s how you can listen to the game.
Yesterday’s Detroit Tigers matchup against Florida Southern College made for a fun event, but today’s Grapefruit League opener against the Baltimore Orioles will feel more like the actual start of baseball season.
We get real professional players in both dugouts and, more importantly, we get a radio broadcast of the game action.
Evan Woodbery of MLive has the lineup and pitching schedule posted to Twitter. One change is that Omar Infante will start at third base in place of Nick Castellanos due to illness.
Today's lineup: Kinsler, V-Mart, Cabrera, JD, Upton, Castellanos, Avila, Gose, Iglesias.

After Fulmer, Pelfrey, Saupold, Mujica, Kensing, Molleken, Rondon pitching today. Nesbitt and Ferrell are on call.
