Detroit — It wasn’t a perfect game. But it was a perfect start. And though it was over early, as planned, Tarik Skubal’s much-anticipated return sure did feel like the perfect antidote for AJ Hinch and his injury-plagued roster. But then came another reality check for the Tigers, as a feel-good night ended with an
TOLEDO – The Toledo Mud Hens defeated the Louisville Bats 7-3 on Tuesday night at Fifth Third Field. The pitching match-up consisted of Joey Wentz for the Mud Hens and Christian Roa for the Bats.

DETROIT — Tarik Skubal tried to make a quiet entrance into the Tigers’ clubhouse at Comerica Park on Tuesday afternoon, just like he’d done every other start before flexor tendon surgery last summer, and every day for his rehab work this spring.

Detroit — AJ Hinch didn’t want to give away the game plan before the game Tuesday, but he also didn’t want everyone to freak out if Tarik Skubal came out of his season debut a little earlier than might be expected. The plan all along was to make it a piggyback start for Skubal and

The Detroit Tigers took a combined no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Oakland Athletics, only six days after New York Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán threw the 24th perfect game in MLB history against the Athletics. The Athletics — the worst team in baseball — avoided another mention in the history books, thanks to a two-out single
Talk about a tremendous return from Tarik Skubal. In his season debut, Skubal truly shined, no-hitting the A’s through four innings, and really looking to be in great shape. But before I get too carried away in enthusiasm for Skubal, let’s go back to the beginning and see how it all came together. Skubal had
The Twins shuffled their bullpen around a bit today as the club announced that right-hander Jorge Lopez had been reinstated from the injured list. The former All Star was placed on the 15-day IL last month for mental health reasons and told reporters (including Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com) that he’s feeling good about where he’s
