Kevin McGonigle Makes History in Four-Hit MLB Debut

Tigers prospect Kevin McGonigle delivered a historic performance in his MLB debut against the Padres, going 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI, and two runs scored in an 8-2 victory. At 21, he became the youngest player to record four hits in an Opening Day debut since 1990.
