Toledo Mud Hens 8, Omaha Storm Chasers 1 (box) Reese Olson got himself dialed back in for his second rehab appearance with the Mud Hens, and looks set to return to the Tigers rotation as soon as Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles at home. Meanwhile, the Hens bats bludgeoned Omaha pitching and ran away with

The Tigers enjoyed a fine Tuesday for baseball up against the struggling Rockies. A matchup they must be enjoying with the third Wild Card spot still within (unlikely) reach. The Tigers turned to Keider Montero, while the Rockies called on Bradley Blalock. The Rockies got things going with a 1-2-3 first. Parker Meadows then wasted

The Detroit Tigers bounced back from a series loss to the San Diego Padres last weekend by taking two of three from the Oakland Athletics out west, keeping their record above .500 and the chase for the final wild card spot intact. The Motor City Kitties now return home to the comfortable confines of Comerica

O, Oakland Coliseum, we hardly knew ye. …or did we? Justin Verlander certainly saw plenty of it in 2012 and 2013; consecutive ALDS Game 5 wins there added up to 17 shutout innings, 6 hits, 2 walks and 21 strikeouts. The Tigers also clinched the American League Central in Oakland in 2011. For those of

The Tigers and the Oakland (for a few more weeks, anyway) Athletics squared off for game two of a three-game set by the bay. Last night was a 3.5 hour marathon game, finally ending in the 13th with a Detroit loss. Both teams emptied their benches and bullpens, only to turn around and play a

The Detroit Tigers have promoted the game’s top pitching prospect, Jackson Jobe, to Triple-A Toledo. The Tigers Torkmoil account on Twitter was first to get wind of the promotion coming last night, and it was confirmed on Saturday afternoon by MLB Pipeline and the local beat writers. The Toledo Mud Hens are headed to Omaha

The West Coast trip continues with another late night game, as the Tigers opened up their weekend series against the A’s in Oakland. It was Tarik Skubal on the mound (with a lot of his family in the stands looking on) up against Mitch Spence for the A’s. Also, might be worth noting this is

The Detroit Tigers escaped Southern California this week with one win in three tries against the San Diego Padres, which came Thursday night on a ninth-inning grand slam by Parker Meadows. Otherwise, the Olde English D played their opponents closely, but the Pads are a playoff-bound team. The pendulum now swings for AJ Hinch and

Toledo Mud Hens 3, Indianapolis Indians 2 (box) Reese Olson made a successful rehab outing in this one, and the Hens’ bullpen was inspired to a solid performance behind him as the offense did just enough. Olson needed 39 pitches to go two scoreless innings, allowing just a single and a walk, with one strikeout.

Sitting at .500, the Detroit Tigers needed to find a win to salvage a game from the San Diego Padres. They got some rocky pitching early and couldn’t do much with the opposing starter and it seemed like they were headed to their fourth losing sweep of the year and back under the .500 mark.

Indianapolis Indians 9, Toledo Mud Hens 6 (box) Another day, another tough go for the Mud Hens. They were held to just six hits while Indy pounded out 19 and scored in all but two innings. In better news, Wenceel Perez went 0-for-3 in this one, but looked like he’s starting to find his timing.

It’s late night baseball time, and after the world’s most randomly placed off day, the Tigers were back at it in San Diego up against the Padres. The Tigers took a break from their bullpenning, giving Keider Montero the start, and the Padres were leaning on Yu Darvish. The Tigers, for their part, are inching

Indianapolis Indians 12, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (Mon)(box) The Hens started their home series with Indianapolis on Monday, and it didn’t go well.

The Detroit Tigers high water mark in top 100 prospects came prior to the 2021 season, when Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, Matt Manning, Spencer Torkelson, and Riley Greene were all represented on most top national lists. With all those players now long graduated, and joined by other top 100 guys like Colt Keith and Parker

Welcome to September! The Tigers were in San Diego, facing off against the Padres, with their bullpen pulling full-game pitching duty, up against Joe Musgrove for the Padres. It was a very low-scoring outing, so let’s take a look at how the game shaped up. The first inning went 1-2-3 for both sides, with Tyler
