Martín Pérez took the
In the second game of a three-game series against the Red Sox, Boston was able to silence the bats of the Tigers and homer their way to a 4-1 victory. Casey Mize started against Eduardo Rodriguez, and despite Rodriguez’s 5.33 ERA he was able to shut down Detroit over his five innings pitched. Both teams
With the Tigers victory over Boston on Tuesday night, they now sit just 2.5 games behind the Cleveland Indians for second place in the AL Central. Heady stuff for a team that has been the American League’s worst for over a half decade. Of course, the Tigers still have just the 11th best record in

Nashville Sounds 3, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Ricardo Pinto threw a good game, but the offense couldn’t come up with the big hits with runners in scoring position. Pinto went six, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks, with five punchouts. The Hens got on the board first as Juan Centeno singled
When the Detroit Tigers selected Derek Hill 25th overall in the 2014 MLB Draft, the Tigers were in the midst of one of their most prosperous periods in franchise history. Hill was drafted on his speed potential and his defense, which was considered then a 60-grade tool by Kiley McDaniel when he was at FanGraphs. …
It is has been tough to watch Miguel Cabrera age. Once upon a time, we watched other big-bodied unicorns like David Ortiz age gracefully into their late-30’s; continuing to provide production for a competitive club. The hope was that Miguel Cabrera could do the same for the Detroit Tigers for a team that would presumably…
The Red Sox rolled into Detroit this week licking their wounds. They were fresh off a series sweep, having been bested by division rivals the Tampa Bay Rays, who not only swept the series, but also reclaimed first place in the AL East from the Sox. Not a great weekend for Boston. So certainly, they
With just 54 games left in the 2021 season, the Detroit Tigers can already consider it a successful season, certainly the most successful in many years. With three straight months slightly over .500, the slow motion rebuild finally has some real momentum. However, keeping their pace through August is going to be tough. The Tigers
Today was a big day for baseball fans around Detroit, as several prominent Detroit Tigers players and brass were on hand for the announcement of the Hamtramck Stadium being restored. This was the former home of the Negro League Detroit Stars, and the historic stadium played host to the Stars’ own Turkey Stearnes, as well…
It was not that long ago when many of the Detroit Tigers faithful were clamoring for the team to select Jack Leiter from Vanderbilt. That, of course, wasn’t an option but that doesn’t leave the organization Leiter-less. Those bloodlines currently have a station in Toledo with Mark Leiter Jr., who is Jack’s cousin. The Tigers
First and foremost, pardon for the absence of the weekly Detroit Tigers reports but now until the end of the minor league season, they will be back on a weekly basis and it will include the FCL. There is a lot of ground to cover so let’s get right into it!
The baseball season has a funny way of feeling both fleeting and interminable. It seems like we published our list of the top 20 Detroit Tigers prospects yesterday (it was actually five months ago), but it also feels like 10 million things have happened since.
Everybody is familiar with the age-old phrase, but the Detroit Tigers need to fully embrace the spoiler role if they want to further solidify the team as a surprising competitor. The Detroit Tigers are set to host the Boston Red Sox for a three-game series, and while the two teams are battling in separate divisions,…
Monday’s are meant for off days. After a weekend watching what felt like the majority of players in the league hit home runs for brand new teams, and an unsatisfying, but acceptable series split with the Baltimore Orioles, we settle into the first off day the Tigers have had since the All Star break. Rest
Toledo Mud Hens 6, Omaha Storm Chasers 3 (box) The Hens ran their record to 44-32 with their win on Sunday, taking four of six from the Storm Chasers. That they did it with another bullpen day was even more impressive. Wladimir Pinto got the start, interestingly enough, and threw three innings of one hit
The traditional local media, social media, fan sites, tar, and pitchforks were everywhere and the organization deserved it. Fast forward 3 months later and the Detroit Tigers are now 51-57 overall after going 42-33 over the last 75 games.
The finale of a four-game series between Baltimore and Detroit saw a lockdown performance from the bullpen and some timely, workmanlike hitting, and a 6-2 victory secured a split of the quartet of contests. Today’s game wasn’t flashy, but it made you feel pretty satisfied afterwards — you know, like a good meatloaf dinner. Spenser
