Interleague play starts with Braves-Tigers thriller

 Our first interleague game of the year as a Z-play resulted in a downpour that delayed the game for more than an hour with Tarik Skubal on the mound in the top of the 8th throwing a no-hitter with a 2-0 lead. He has already struck out the first batter of the 8th despite his PB dropping from 2-9 to 2-8 due to pitching past his Max IP of 7. However, a long delay drops the PB by two more, so he would have been only a PB4-7 trying to pitch after the delay and the pen could not hold the lead.

However, in the 10th Zach McKinstry singled in the ghost runner to tie the game 3-3, then he told second and raced home with the game-winner on Jahmai Jones third single of the game to register as our player of the game for the Tigers. Marcell Ozuna is the Braves player of the game for his 2-run homer with two outs in the 9th to force extra inning.

Line-ups and highlights by player are below, with a picture of the scoresheet at the end.
