Live Updates: Playoff baseball arrives at Comerica Park for ALDS Game 3

Below 1st: Parker Meadows hit a leadoff single and Riley Greene drove it home three batters later as the Tigers struck first. Kerry Carpenter and Matt Vierling also made good contact with Guardians starter Alex Cobb. Tiger 1, Guardian 0

Top 1: A six-pitch, one-ball first inning for Keider Montero results in two flyouts and a groundout. This crowd is enjoying it. Tiger 0, Guardian 0

Foreplay: A picture-perfect October day for baseball here in Detroit: 63 degrees and sunny, about 20 minutes before first pitch.

The big question at the beginning is how long Keider Montero will stay as a starter. The Guardians have six lefties and two switch hitters in their lineup. Left-hander Brant Hurter warmed up a bit before the game.
