Detroit Tigers top prospect Kevin McGonigle seems pretty comfortable at the major league level, but one veteran doesn't want him too comfortable. McGonigle made the Tigers' Opening Day roster, and he showed why he deserved it by notching four hits in his MLB debut.
McGonigle was back in action on Friday in San Diego against the Padres, and in the top of the second inning, he launched a ball to deep center field that traveled 403 feet. However, Jackson Merrill leaped and robbed McGonigle of his first home run.

But that did not come before Merrill joked about McGonigle's big Opening Day. 'You got four yesterday!' Merrill said to the rookie. McGonigle became the 21st player in MLB history to have four hits in his MLB debut and the first to do it since J.P. Arancibia in 2010. ALEX VESIA, DODGERS PITCHER WHO LOST INFANT DAUGHTER, GETS STANDING OVATION AFTER SCORELESS RETURN TO MOUND Merrill's home run robbery provided a boost early on, but McGonigle got revenge with a game-winning two-run single in a four-run eighth inning for Detroit en route to a 5-2 victory. The Tigers choked a double-digit AL Central lead last season but still managed to get to the American League Division Series after defeating the same team who overtook them in the standings in the Cleveland Guardians.
