The Detroit Tigers‘ magical run finally came to an end on Saturday. A pretty classic Game 5 saw a shocking Lane Thomas grand slam against Tigers’ ace Tarik Skubal in the bottom of the fifth inning, and that was the difference. The Guardians held off some late threats to win 7-3 and earn the right

With the Detroit Tigers season on the line, they have the best player on the field toeing the bump in Saturday afternoon’s Game 5, winner-take-all matchup against the Cleveland Guardians. They may have home field advantage, but Tarik Skubal is an advantage that transcends all others right now. The presumptive AL Cy Young winner is

Development of the next wave of players doesn’t stop for the MLB postseason. The Arizona Fall League got underway this week, and the Detroit Tigers have several of their top hitting prospects on hand to get extra reps in October with the Scottsdale Scorpions.

Major League Baseball announced on early Friday afternoon a change in the start time for the American League Divisional Series matchup between the Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers at Progressive Stadium. The game was originally slated to start at 8:08 p.m. ET but has been moved up seven hours to an early 1:08 p.m. ET

The Tigers’ push towards the American League Championship Series would have to wait until another day, as Game 4 of their Division Series was won by Cleveland, 5-4. Reese Olson, the Baby-Faced Assassin, started for the Tigers. He came into Game 1 of this ALDS with none out in the first inning after Tyler Holton

Playoff baseball made its glorious return to Comerica Park in downtown Detroit on Wednesday. The scrappy, youthful Detroit Tigers squad made it another day to remember as they bullpenned their way to a 3-0 victory, and a 2-1 lead in the American League Divisional Series. They continue to get it done with a rotating cast

These young Tigers came out hot in the Wild Card series. Now they look to be here for a long time as well as a good time. A game away from closing out the Cleveland Guardians, the faithful at Comerica Park on Wednesday saw the first MLB playoff game in Detroit since 2014, and the

Comerica Park hosted its first playoff game in a decade on Wednesday afternoon, and the home crowd saw the Tigers throw their second consecutive combined shutout on a crisp October day, winning 3-0 to take a 2-1 lead in their American League Division Series. It was also their second consecutive 3-0 victory. I can dig

After meekly surrendering to the Cleveland Guardians in Game 1 of their American League Division Series, the Detroit Tigers didn’t score for the first eight innings — and neither did their opponents — but a stunning home run against a nearly-unhittable closer was the difference in a 3-0 victory to even the American League Division

Saturday’s Game 1 matchup with the Cleveland Guardians was billed as the Tigers’ well-honed bullpen games versus top starter Tanner Bibee and a more traditional approach. Tradition won out in that one. The Guardians couldn’t afford to lose the first of two at Progressive Field and then face Tarik Skubal in Game 2. They held

Riding the high of the Wild Card sweep, the Tigers were feeling pretty great about their chances in the ALDS. Now this is a long series and there is certainly a lot of drama ahead of us, but it’s safe to say in the first inning the Tigers’ enthusiasm was dampened slightly. Things would not

The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians open up American League Divisional Series play on Saturday afternoon in an unexpected battle between two AL Central teams. Last year, the division was the worst in baseball, but somewhat miraculously, four of the five teams posted .500 records or better this summer. Of course, there was the Chicago

Visual storytelling in baseball doesn’t get much more striking and far-reaching than the ending of the Detroit Tigers sweep of the Houston Astros on Wednesday. As the camera shots moved from manager A.J. Hinch, triumphant with his young and finally rebuilt team in Minute Maid Park, site of his greatest moments as a manager, on

The attorney for Diamond Sports Group, which owns Bally Sports and holds the local television broadcast rights to a dozen major league baseball teams, told the bankruptcy court on Wednesday that the company has terminated the contracts for the Detroit Tigers and the Tampa Bay Rays, and is expected to terminate the contracts for seven

Since the All-Star break, just about every lever Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has pulled has been the right one. From pinch-hit decisions, to defensive replacements, to pinch-runners, just about everything has come up aces. Nowhere has that been more evident than in the decisions they’ve made with the pitching staff. Now an American League
