Tigers newcoming Christin Stewart hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning as Detroit opened its MLB season with a 2-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Shane Greene pitched the bottom of the 10th for the save and Victor Alcantara earned the win after a sparkling start from Jordan Zimmerman.
The Tigers right-hander, who allowed just one hit over seven innings, had a perfect game broken up with a two-out single from Teoscar Hernandez in the seventh.
Zimmerman also struck out four and threw 70 pitches, 57 for strikes.
Game two in the series is Friday at 7:07pm.
Detroit opens up the home portion of the 2019 season at Comerica Park on Thursday, hosting Kansas City.
