Game three of a four-game set between the AL Central-leading Kansas City Royals and the Detroit Tigers saw the Tigers try to work towards a split, as the Royals had taken the first two games. Despite some generally good pitching by the Tigers all series and again today, the bats just haven’t been there and

Has Matthew Boyd emerged from the doldrums of recent seasons and started to rediscover the form that put him on the map? Or is it too early and Boyd is still in “Show Me” territory? Well, folks, let’s be honest…it’s five starts. The calendar still says “April”. It’s five good starts mind you, but Boyd…
I do not want to brag, but I pretty much called Saturday’s game in my previous preview as Detroit Tigers ace Matthew Boyd faced off against Kansas City Royals phenom Brady Singer in a pitchers duel that resulted in a 2-1 loss for the good guys. There was little doubt that it would be a
Matthew Boyd put together another outstanding outing on Saturday, but it was wasted in a pitcher’s duel with the Kansas City Royals’ Brady Singer as the Tigers fell 2-1. Boyd and Singer locked up for a pretty good pitching matchup in this one, as each spun four scoreless frames to start their respective outings. Boyd

The Detroit Tigers stumbled out of the gates in its four-game homestand against the Kansas City Royals, dropping the first game 6-2 on Friday night. Casey Mize was anything but mighty against the KC onslaught, allowing all six runs in 4 2⁄3 innings in his first rough outing after two sparkling performances to start 2021.
Let’s start out with the obvious, here. The Detroit Tigers did not win the first game in their four-game series against the Kansas City Royals. KC, who are off to a hot start and inexplicably are winning the AL Central, just came off their first series loss of the season against the Rays, and they

The Detroit Tigers “Weekly” Draft Report returns after an extended absence , this time with a more focused approach to the 2021 Draft. Up to this point we’ve been offering updates on top performers in college baseball, but today we are going to focus strictly on who the Detroit Tigers might take with the number…
A week ago, the Detroit Tigers headed to Oakland off of an impressive sweep of the Astros and a winning percentage back up to .500. All of those good feelings are long gone, though, after dropping all four to the Athletics and two of three against Pittsburgh. The offense averaged just over two runs a
The final game of a three-game set, the first pair coming yesterday in a split doubleheader, saw the Pirates take the series with a 4-2 win on a pair of runs in the eighth inning. The calendar said April, but the weather sure didn’t agree: it was a chilly 43°F (6°C) and a breezy 15

The offense struggles of the Detroit Tigers have been well documented in the last week. While it was good to see the offense score more than two runs for the first time last night since the series opener in Oakland, there are some major cracks in the offense Detroit still needs to fix.
Fans got defensive when the Detroit Tigers farm system was categorized by national folks as “top-heavy,” referencing the lack of big-league potential beyond the big five in the system: Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, Matt Manning, Riley Greene, and Spencer Torkelson. After a flurry of top-five finishes in the farm system power rankings by several national…
The Detroit Tigers are off to one of the more inconsistent starts in recent memory; promptly getting swept by the Oakland Athletics after sweeping the Houston Astros in Houston on their most recent road trip. This teeter-totter start has many wondering which is the real Detroit Tigers team–but more likely, we can expect to see…
After a disappointing Wednesday afternoon, the Detroit Tigers rebounded in the night cap of the double header to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2. Spencer Turnbull was activated off the injured list to make his first start of the season, and boy was it a promising outing. And although it wasn’t a world-altering performance out of
Well Renato Nuñez, we barely knew ye. The Detroit Tigers announced on Wednesday that they had selected the contract of infielder Zack Short from Triple-A Toledo. To open the roster spot, they designated Nuñez for assignment. Short was acquired in a deal with the Chicago Cubs for Cameron Maybin last year. He’s a good shortstop
On a rather frigid Detroit afternoon, a matchup of two weak lineups boded well for a fast-paced pitcher’s duel, and we got it, for a while. In the end, Michael Fulmer got singled to death in his final inning of work, and that was enough for the Pirates to hold on and win the first
Ah Michigan, land of 70 degree days in January, and snow in late April. Frankly the weather on Tuesday wasn’t any worse than Opening Day, but conditions were a little slippery and the move to combine them into a pair of seven inning games today was a wise one. As a result, we’ve got the
Particularly for pitchers, the path of their development in the minor leagues can be a twisty road filled with reversals, injuries, and bursts of improvement. When a young pitcher has already shown one plus pitch, and some moxie for pitching in big games under pressure, it’s worth being patient. Look no further than Detroit Tigers
