According to The Detroit News, Matthew Boyd will be the Detroit Tigers' starter. He started last year, but things looked a little different with zero fans in the stands. This year 8,000 fans are allowed to attend Opening Day. Boyd says he's honored to be starting again this year,

It’s an honor. It’s not something I take lightly. It’s going to be our first game back at Comerica. It’s so special. Opening Day in Detroit is a state holiday and to be able to be out there in front of the fans, we’re all excited.

If you plan on heading downtown early to booze it up, you can catch a free ride!
