Detroit — For the first time in 2021, kids got to run the bases after Sunday’s game. Good thing someone got to. The Tigers took a pass. Chicago White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon, non-tendered over the winter, continued his amazing comeback story, one-hitting the Tigers over seven innings of a 4-1 victory, completing the American League Central

Facing the Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon took a no-hitter in the seventh inning. Going for his second no-hitter in the 2021 season, Rodon’s attempt at a historic mark — only five pitchers have thrown two no-hitters in a single regular season — was spoiled by Tigers hometown slugger Eric Haase. Haase doubled to left
Detroit — There weren’t many highlights for the Tigers on Saturday, but one stood out — and it didn’t even happen during the game. Following the White Sox 15-2 shellacking at Comerica Park on Saturday afternoon, when not a soul would’ve faulted every Detroit player and catch for quickly bolting for the exits, Tigers infielder Willi Castro
DETROIT — The last time the Tigers were no-hit in this city, first baseman Norm Cash brought a table leg from the home clubhouse at Tiger Stadium to the batter’s box in the ninth inning before being told he needed a bat. The way Nolan Ryan was pitching that day, he reportedly told plate umpire

DETROIT — Every compliment Tigers manager A.J. Hinch pays young catcher Jake Rogers has to come with a qualifier, for fear he’ll get a big head. “I don’t like giving Jake too much credit,” Hinch admitted Sunday. Still, Rogers has had quite a week. He homered in back-to-back games Wednesday and Thursday, and hit his
Detroit — It’s certainly been a weekend to forget the Tigers, and the bad news kept coming Sunday. Fresh off a 15-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday, the Tigers scratched one of their hottest hitters, infielder Jonathan Schoop, from the lineup of Sunday’s series finale at Comerica Park. Schoop is out with left hand
The Detroit Tigers needed pitching help. Left-hander Matthew Boyd offered up a solution: He told manager AJ Hinch he could move up a day — to his initial Sunday slot — rather than having his start pushed back to Monday. The Tigers wanted to give Boyd and the rest of the starting rotation an extra
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch approached Jake Rogers in the fifth inning. “Be ready,” Hinch said. “You might have to go in.” A nervous Rogers accepted. The 26-year-old catcher snuck inside and went to the batting cages. He marched back out to the dugout to get the latest from Hinch, who told Rogers to get ready to
The Tigers announced this morning they’ve selected the contract of Buck Farmer. Beau Burrows was optioned to Triple-A Toledo last night to clear active roster space. Jeimer Candelario was placed on the COVID-19 injured list yesterday while he goes through intake protocols after going on bereavement leave. That temporarily opens a 40-man roster spot for Farmer, but Detroit
The Baltimore Orioles don’t have much to celebrate this season, virtually already out of the American League East race. Leadoff hitter and center fielder Cedric Mullins is an exception. Along with electric outfield defense and speed on the bases, the 26-year-old Mullins is hitting .318 with nine home runs and 19 RBIs. He leads the American League
We will get our first update on All-Star voting on Monday, which means it’s time to start getting serious. Every team will end up having at least one All-Star selection. But the voting is the only thing you and I have any personal say in. It’s the one we have to get right. With that
Detroit — They waved a checkered flag on Belle Isle, and a white flag on the mainland. Tigers starter Jose Urena was flat-out ambushed, turning the day before a scheduled team bullpen day into a bullpen day of its own as the Chicago White Sox coasted, 15-2, on Saturday afternoon at Comerica Park before the largest
With a bullpen-only game Sunday, the Detroit Tigers forced themselves to make a call to Triple-A Toledo for pitching reinforcements. The Tigers (26-38) sent five pitchers and two position players to the mound during Saturday’s 15-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox in the second of a three-game series. Detroit has dropped 16 of its past 18 games against Chicago, dating back to
Tigers general manager Al Avila was running down his list of long-term options at shortstop Friday afternoon when he got to just-promoted infielder Isaac Paredes. “I knew it was coming,” Avila said with a smile. “It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out.” Two games in, it doesn’t look entirely crazy, but it doesn’t
The Rays have officially added Matt Wisler to their active roster, per the team. Wisler was acquired via trade from the Giants yesterday. To make room on the active roster, southpaw Ryan Sherriff was optioned to Triple-A. The Rays continue to adeptly re-work their bullpen, adding Wisler to previous trade acquisitions J.P. Feyereisen and Drew
DETROIT — For the first time since 2008, Mike Hessman is getting the call from Toledo to the big leagues. After a playing career best known for hitting the most home runs in Minor League history, Hessman is getting a long-awaited chance to make an impact in the Majors — as a coach. The Tigers
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch didn’t want to talk about the Wilson Ramos situation. “He’s not coming back for a bit,” Hinch said before Friday’s 5-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox in extra innings at Comerica Park. “He played his first extended game, so we’ll tackle that one when it’s a little bit more
Detroit — Some of the most-memorable baseball games have been extra-inning affairs. In Tigers history, the one that stands out most came Aug. 25, 2007 — well, actually, it was Aug. 26, when Detroit’s Carlos Guillen swatted a home run through the raindrops at Comerica Park to send the home fans home happy at 3:30 in the
Detroit — They’re a long way from Detroit, and not just in freeway miles. That doesn’t stop Tigers manager AJ Hinch and the rest of the coaching staff from keeping tabs on what’s going on in event the lowest rungs of the minor-league system. For instance, take Single-A West Michigan Whitecaps stars Spencer Torkelson (drafted first
