Detroit Tigers fans can be excused if they stopped paying attention early in Monday’s 15-6 loss to the Twins. It was a dreary affair. Tigers pitchers gave up 14 hits and 11 walks, and Detroit batters didn’t get a hit until the 5th inning.
It really has not been that long since Casey Mize was selected No. 1 overall by the Detroit Tigers, or since the organization’s top pitcher threw a no-hitter his first night in Double-A.

The opener of a three-game series with the Twins was delayed by an hour due to rain but, rather poetically, as the first pitch was being thrown, the sun poked through the clouds. A rainout wouldn’t have been so bad today, as Nelson Cruz and the Twins trounced the Tigers, 15-6. Of note: Akil Baddoo’s
Detroit Tigers fans were treated to an excellent opening weekend. The team took their series against a division rival, and they did it by beating two of the better pitchers in the American League, including last year’s unanimous Cy Young winner.
The Detroit Tigers have had their share of glove-first players. Ed Brickman, Aurelio Rodríguez, and Adam Everett are some of the names I was discussing with a few of our fellow contributors. And we can safely assume Niko Goodrum is in this category now.

With the first series of the 2021 Detroit Tigers season in the books and Akil Baddoo mania running wild, successfully with a series win over the Cleveland Indians, we move on to another 3 games divisional rival set against Minnesota Twins. Here a brief preview to get you ready:
From the beginning of the 2019 season, it took until the summer of 2020 for the Detroit Tigers to notch two wins against the Cleveland Baseball Team. This year, it took an entire two days. Detroit had a prime opportunity to make that three wins in three days, but the Tigers blew a 3-1 lead
The Tigers built a slim early lead behind a good outing from starter Tarik Skubal. They even got some early heroics from two new faces. Ultimately it wasn’t enough as the bullpen melted down to lose this one to Cleveland 9-3. For the third time in three games, the Detroit Tigers took a first inning
We’ve all been captivated by the story of Akil Baddoo this spring. A solid but unassuming Minnesota Twins prospect who blew out his elbow back in 2019, the Tigers picked him up in the Rule 5 draft hoping to catch lightning in a bottle. So far, so good. Baddoo hadn’t played an official game above

The Detroit Tigers began the 1993 campaign with a 2-4 West Coast trip. They opened the home portion of the schedule on Tuesday, April 13 against the Oakland A’s. It was the 82nd Opening Day at the former Navin Field, and Tigers fans from all over the state converged to celebrate their favorite holiday. The…
A few days ago we used Spencer Torkelson’s rough spring as an excuse to dig into some of the worst debuts from Detroit Tigers in history. Spring training stats don’t count as debuts, of course, so we won’t be looking for other stellar exhibition performances like Baddoo’s. And we’ve decided to not count any Rookie…
The Detroit Tigers have started their season strong after winning their first two games of 2021 against their bitter American League Central Division rivals, the Cleveland Indians, including a 5-2 victory on Saturday. Thanks to a strong start by newcomer Julio Teheran as well as some grueling at-bats for the Tigers offense, things are looking
Nothing explosive happened in this one. Instead, the Tigers executed well when needed, putting together tough at-bat after tough at-bat against Cleveland pitching. Meanwhile, starter Julio Teheran and the rebuilt Tigers bullpen were up to the task as they led the club to a 5-2 win on a nice Saturday afternoon at Comerica Park. Tigers
The Detroit Tigers got off to a great start to their 2021 season on Thursday when they snuck by the Cleveland Indians in a snowy Comerica Park, 3-2, on Major League Baseball’s opening day. Miguel Cabrera gave the fans a brief glimpse of what he is capable of with his two-run opposite shot to pace
