Cleveland — There is a reason the Tigers refuse to give up on lefty Joey Wentz. He showed why Friday night in the Tigers’ 4-1 loss against the Guardians in Game 2 of the doubleheader at Progressive Field. Wentz was called up before the 4-2 win in the opener to serve as the 27th man
You know the old saying… say it along with me… “Thursday night rainshowers bring Friday doubleheaders!” We used to say that on the ol’ school yard all the time. Then again, I went to an extremely bizarre elementary school. Forsooth, I digress. On with the business at hand. A traditional doubleheader between the Guardians and

CLEVELAND — The Tigers were five outs away from what would’ve been their second doubleheader sweep of the Guardians this season before Cleveland’s offense finally broke through.

Tarik Skubal talks about what it was like to have his longest outing of season, as the Tigers defeat the Guardians, 4-2.
CLEVELAND — Tarik Skubal has been about as imposing of a presence as the Tigers have on the mound since his return from the injured list, but he was even more impressive when he ventured off of it for a split second with Guardians All-Star José Ramírez up in the third inning Friday afternoon.

Cleveland — It got lost in the Tigers’ power show Wednesday in Minnesota, but the deciding run was created by the wheels of Akil Baddoo. Celebrating his 25th birthday, Baddoo walked to lead off the top of the ninth. It was his third walk of the game and the fourth time he’d been on base.
CLEVELAND — Tarik Skubal didn’t look sharp in the beginning. His fastball velocity was down, and his command wasn’t pinpoint. The 26-year-old, who made his MLB debut three years ago to the day, escaped his first two innings — surrendering one run in the process — before dominating in his final four innings. He led the

CLEVELAND — Right-hander Casey Mize has been traveling with the Detroit Tigers on his road to recovery from Tommy John surgery. He hangs out with his teammates in the clubhouse before games and sits in the dugout during games. The 26-year-old, who has been with the Tigers every day since the All-Star break, could face some

CLEVELAND — Jason Foley isn’t concerned. The 27-year-old has been the most consistent high-leverage reliever for the Detroit Tigers throughout the season, but in Wednesday’s 8-7 win over the Minnesota Twins, something uncharacteristic happened.
