Bless You Boys

Toledo Mud Hens 8, Columbus Clippers 2 (box) The offense was the story in this one, as the Hens scored early and often, building an insurmountable lead by the fifth inning and cruising to their fourth victory of the year. 2B Yariel Gonzalez kicked things off with a two-run double to center to score Renato

Well, well, well. After another strong all around performance against a struggling Mariners squad, your Detroit Tigers collected their second sweep in their last three series by a score of 6-2. Things didn’t look all that auspicious in the first inning. The Tigers went down in order, and after Skubal got a pair of quick

Did you stay up late to watch the Detroit Tigers and Spencer Turnbull make history? There’s just something about those West Coast trips, where they keep you up well past a normal bed time, but reward you with some truly exciting baseball moments. This week, it was seeing Spencer Turnbull throw the 2021 season’s fifth

Well, that was certainly a nice surprise. Monday night (really Tuesday morning), Spencer Turnbull was masterful in Seattle, notching just the eighth no-hitter in Tigers history. This was already the fifth no-no of the year thanks in part to the new baseball, and the Mariners have shockingly been on the receiving end of four (!!)

Columbus Clippers 6, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) Starter Drew Hutchison had a pretty good night, but the Hens bullpen did not. In the end, they weren’t able to generate enough offense for it to matter. Things got off to a promising start in the first. Facing former Tigers center fielder Anthony Gose, who opened

Spencer Turnbull was the story of the night at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, no-hitting the Mariners, only allowing two walks in his 50th career start as the Tigers won 5-0. The no-hitter by Turnbull was the eighth in Tigers history, and becomes the sixth pitcher to throw one for the Olde English D. It was,

Well, if you were wise and got to bed on time here in the eastern quarter of the country, you missed a gem. Casey Mize spun arguably the best start of his young career, Eric Haase hit two home runs in his left field debut, and Jonathan Schoop cranked one as well, which had to

It’s an axiom of developing baseball players that the process is rarely linear. Some players start slow, others start fast. Nothing say seem to be changing with a player for months, and suddenly it all comes together and they level up. Then there are those players who get off to such good starts it’s remarkable

Casey Mize spun 7.2 innings of three hit, one run ball, and a pair of home runs by Eric Haase and one by Jonathan Schoop paced the Tigers to a 4- 1 victory in Seattle. This might go down as the day that Mize broke out, pitching the best game of his young career. The

Well, here are we at the venerable 40-game mark folks. As a result, the spirit of Sparky Anderson now gives us license to tell you the obvious; this team is bad, again. Our own Patrick O’Kennedy broke down some of the numbers for you today, but it certainly didn’t take a lot of crunching to

The Chris Ilitch era of ownership of the Detroit Tigers continues to try the patience of Tigers’ fans as the team enters its’ fifth season since Mike Ilitch passed in February, 2017. The lack of spending on quality major league free agent players (including their home grown players), the absence of quality additions through trades

The Detroit Tigers whiffed on a chance to win another series at home on Sunday, dropping their series finale to the Chicago Cubs by a 5-1 score. Matthew Boyd wasn’t at his best, and his defense didn’t do him any favors as he was saddled with his fourth loss of the year. I’m not really

The Detroit Tigers amazingly returned to their winning ways after a wild one against the Chicago Cubs in Detroit on Saturday afternoon. The Motor City Kitties ultimately outlasted the north-side Cubbies in extra innings with a 9-8 win to even up the three-game weekend series. José Ureña gave up more than two runs for the

Well Tigers fans, the winning was fun while it lasted. On Friday night, the Chicago Cubs came to town and took the first of a three-game weekend series, 4-2, to snap the Detroit Tigers’ four-game winning streak. It was not a bad loss — Cubs starter Jake Arrieta, while not quite the pitcher he used

When the Detroit Tigers drafted Spencer Torkelson with their first overall pick in 2020, the reaction was a near-unanimously positive one. He’s a transcendently talented hitter, with refined poise and patience to pair with his smooth stroke and impressive power. He brings the thunder in a way no other Tigers prospect can. For all the

Indianapolis Indians 6, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Logan Shore walked six batters in this one, yet the Hens held a lead in the seventh inning. The bullpen couldn’t make it stick, as Robbie Ross Jr. and Nolan Blackwood leaked late runs and Indy ran away with the game. Shore went 4 1⁄3 innings, and

The first matchup of a weekend three-game series against the Cubs saw the north-siders defeat the Tigers, 4-2. Jake Arrieta, who’s no slouch but isn’t quite the pitcher he was five years ago, got the nod for the Cubs. Tarik Skubal started for the Tigers, and whether you value pitcher wins as a useful stat
