The Detroit Tigers were blown out by the Oakland Athletics in Wednesday’s 12-3 loss, but center fielder Riley Greene picked up five hits in five plate appearances Wednesday in the second game of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo. The 22-year-old served as the Mud Hens’ designated hitter. Greene, who suffered a stress reaction in
Detroit — Kerry Carpenter was back in the starting lineup Thursday. His relative absence from it in the first two games against the Athletics incited some consternation among a segment of Tigers Nation. That consternation was heard by manager AJ Hinch. “I know that’s been a hot topic,” he said. “I’ve heard everything, from the
Detroit — Sometimes, you watch young players in the early stages of their development and try to envision what the finished product might look like. What, for example, is the ultimate best version of Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling? Already, at age 26 and in his first full season as a mostly everyday player, he’s showing
Surely, the Detroit Tigers would win this series against the weak, feeble Oakland A’s. Surely, they would take advantage of playing against a team that entered Wednesday at 24-63, 1½ games behind the next-worst team in the majors. This was the Tigers’ chance to make up ground in the American League Central. To climb up
Eduardo Rodriguez’s return was bittersweet. I’ve always enjoyed covering the Detroit Tigers left-hander. He’s not only a very good pitcher, but he’s also a good talker who answers questions thoughtfully and intelligently without getting too wrapped up in the kind of technical minutia of pitching mechanics that makes my eyes roll back into my skull.

Detroit — There was a hopefulness in his voice that his eyes betrayed. The day after Tigers reliever Tyler Alexander was confronted with the reality that his season was over, he was still halfway between disbelief and acceptance. “My arm felt perfectly fine on every pitch I threw previously,” he said. “Then, one backdoor cutter
DETROIT — Eduardo Rodriguez’s first Major League pitch since May 28 ended up bunted to the first-base side of the mound, sending the Tigers’ ace charging to field it. He had it in plenty of time to toss to first for the out, but with first baseman Spencer Torkelson off the bag to chase the
Detroit — That one went off-script in a hurry. Coming home off a successful road trip with two of their front-line starting pitchers returning off the injured list and starting a homestand against the team with the worst record in baseball — time to roll, right? Nope. After losing 1-0 in 10 innings Tuesday, the
The Toledo Mud Hens defeated the Louisville Bats 9-4 on Wednesday night. Toledo is now 4-4 in the second half and 37-45 overall. Bryan Sammons started the game for Toledo. In 4.1 innings he gave up two runs on four hits, with four walks and five strikeouts. Blair Calvo came The Toledo Mud Hens defeated
FORT WAYNE, IN – The West Michigan Whitecaps went 2-for-15 with runners in scoring position, and their bullpen was not at its best as part of a 6-1 loss to the Fort Wayne TinCaps on Wednesday in front of 3,613 fans at Parkview Field. The Whitecaps fall to a season-worst FORT WAYNE, IN – The
The Dodgers had mixed success in the first three years of the Draft, sandwiching lackluster efforts in 1965 and 1967 around finding three All-Stars (Charlie Hough, Bill Russell, Billy Grabarkewitz) and a Rookie of the Year (Ted Sizemore) in 1966. Los Angeles slid from a World Series championship to an eighth-place finish during that time,

Erie lost a back-and-forth affair in Altoona on Wednesday, falling 7-6 in 11 innings. Altoona starter Nick Dombkowski retired in the first 15 SeaWolves in order, working into the sixth inning with a perfect game in tact. Erie broke that up when Dillon Dingler led off the sixth with a Erie lost a back-and-forth affair
The Detroit Tigers hadn’t scored in 17 innings against the Oakland Athletics. Finally, in Wednesday’s eighth inning, Miguel Cabrera snapped the scoreless drought with an RBI double to the right-field corner. But the Tigers didn’t advance a runner into scoring position over the first seven innings and were held to four hits in a 12-3
Detroit — That one went off-script in a hurry. The first pitch Eduardo Rodriguez threw since he ruptured the pulley in the index finger of his left hand on May 28 was bunted between the mound and first base. It was probably, judging from the way he reacted to it, the last thing he expected.
Yesterday we saw the really top-notch return of Tarik Skubal to the Tigers rotation, and today I think we were all collectively excited to see Eduardo Rodriguez back on the mound. I’m sorry to report that while Skubal’s first four innings back, we were not to have the same luck two nights in a row.
On July 16, 2022, Leandro Cedeño of the Amarillo Sod Poodles took a mighty hack at a 3-0 pitch in his third trip to the plate. Instantly, knowing he had crushed it, he sauntered out of the box and took a well-earned trot around the bases. Little did he know,
