Toledo Mud Hens 12, Omaha Storm Chasers 5 (box) The Mud Hens just wrecked Storm Chasers’ pitching on Thursday night.

The Tigers built an early lead, but the offense missed it’s chance to blow the game open a bit, and the Twins fought back to take the opener, 5-3. We got a pretty good pitching duel right out of the gate. J.A. Happ mixed in a few more offspeed pitches than normal and worked both

Well, well, well…no doubt the Minnesota Twins did not expect to be looking up at the Detroit Tigers at this point. The streaking Tigers have won four of their last five series, and tied the fifth, despite a litany of injuries to the pitching staff. Suddenly they’re one more hot stretch of baseball from creeping
We know, we know. The Minnesota Twins AGAIN? And again again after the All-Star break? How often do we have to play this team? (We also know that you know it’s 19 times a season, it just feels like 700). At the beginning of the season, I doubt either Twins fans or Tigers fans would
Every team deals with injuries–especially in a year where players are returning from a shortened season or perhaps no season at all. Pitcher injuries, especially, are on the rise and teams like the Detroit Tigers have had to do some scrambling to account for all the innings necessary to get through a game and ultimately…
The All-Star Game is an imperfect but entertaining best-of-show for the MLB midseason break. Ostensibly, the game and its surrounding activities like the Home Run Derby and Futures Game are meant to spotlight the best and brightest MLB has to offer. It’s an opportunity to feature the players who are, in theory, at the top
Early mock drafts are a useful exercise as a way for the reader to become familiar with the names in the top tier of a draft class, but no matter how certain it seems a year in advance the top spot never remains unchanged. For instance, that was the case with two college pitchers in
Toledo Mud Hens 2, Omaha Storm Chasers 0 (box) After a tough loss on Tuesday night, the Hens pitching staff came through with a fantastic performance to carry them on Wednesday night. Ricardo Pinto went seven innings, allowing just four hits and two walks, with six strikeouts. Angel De Jesus picked up where Pinto left
Last night Detroit Tigers catcher/outfielder Eric Haase hit a dramatic, game-tying, pinch-hit home run in the 7th inning. Unfortunately he then made a huge error in the bottom of the frame to help Texas take back the lead.
The afternoon finale of a three-game series in Texas against the Rangers saw the Tigers win 5-3, and win the series two games to one. Gregory Soto came on with the bases loaded in the eighth and no one out, and got the six-out save to complete the game. Casey Mize, whose last trip to

It has been almost two years since Ian Kinsler played his last MLB game, back on August 12, 2019. He was 37 years old at the time, and playing with the San Diego Padres. At that point, it had already been two years since he last took the field with the Detroit Tigers, but it’s
The speculation has become all too familiar among Detroit Tigers as the July 31 trade deadline looms on the horizon. Who needs a first and/or second baseman? What could the return for Jonathan Schoop look like? Jose Cisnero and Gregory Soto are both proving strong late innings relief options. What team wouldn’t pay up to
Omaha Storm Chasers 6, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (F/10)(box) Mark Leiter Jr. threw a solid game and the offense erupted for a four-run third inning to carry them to an early lead over the Storm Chasers. The Hens took advantage of poor control in the third, as the first three hitters reached on walks. Renato
The Tigers have gotten very watchable of late. They’ve been winning games, they have genuinely watchable players, making highlight-reel-worthy plays. There’s a lot to like about the product the team has been putting on the field. Tonight was another one of those nights. On another day, at another time, you could be forgiven for assuming

When you look at the career of Detroit Tigers right-hander Joe Jimenez, you can describe it as a rollercoaster, similar to former Tigers closer Todd Jones. Many Tigers fans, myself included, thought that Jimenez did not have it anymore after starting the season in Toledo in the alternate camp. Then we saw the two appearances…
Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports Gregory Soto was likely not on the All-Star Game radar as he was gearing up for the 2021 MLB season, but his vast emergence this season propelled him to a spot in the Midsummer Classic. Soto, who was signed as an international free agent back in December of 2012, has emerged…
