Philadelphia — The timing of it stinks, but it is a harsh reality for the Tigers. At the same time most of their left-handed punch is on the injured list — Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter, Austin Meadows — they are facing an oppressive right-handed starting pitcher night after night. In Chicago, it was Mike Clevinger,
PHILADELPHIA — Aaron Nola took a no-hitter into the seventh inning. The Detroit Tigers looked completely helpless as another right-handed pitcher carved up their offense. The pitiful performance resembled the underwhelming results from the previous series in matchups with Chicago White Sox right-handers Mike Clevinger, Dylan Cease and Michael Kopech. Nola couldn’t complete the no-hitter, thanks
Let’s just get the miserable truth out of the way first. Aaron Nola was really good tonight. Really, really good. He kept a no-hitter going through six and 2⁄3 innings, and his offense supported him the whole way. This was a very bad game for the Tigers. But not as bad as it could have

PHILADELPHIA — The Detroit Tigers will face a couple of old friends, infielder Kody Clemens and left-handed reliever Gregory Soto, in their three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

In a far-upper-left corner of a cramped clubhouse at Tiger Stadium that summer of 1984, they would huddle and kibitz in front of their lockers prior to that night’s game: Alex Grammas, who was manager Sparky Anderson’s third-base coach, and Dick Tracewski, who coached first base. Not far from batting guru Vada Pinson’s niche, the
Philadelphia — Michael Lorenzen is a lot of things: Smart, affable, talented, a diversely-skilled pitcher and an elite athlete. The list goes on. What he isn’t, though, is simple. He has seven different pitches on his palette, for starters. His thought processes, the way he meticulously collects, filters, challenges, tests and ultimately stores information is
Lynn Henning | Special to The Detroit News Only scouts know, in all the exasperating detail, what goes into a job most wouldn’t trade for any other occupation. It’s a wild world, filled with travel and weather anxieties, and overloaded with hopes and disappointments — and the occasional payoff that makes sitting for hours at college

The way the wheels fell off the Detroit Tigers’ bandwagon — battered and beaten though it already was, kept rolling only by the headwinds of the awful American League Central — this past week, you’d think the warranty just expired or something. On Tuesday, it was Eduardo Rodriguez and Matt Vierling going on the injured
The Detroit Tigers struggled over the weekend in the Windy City against the Chicago White Sox, scoring just three runs in three games while being swept by their American League Central division rivals. Saddled with those three defeats, the Motor City Kitties are now five games under .500 and back in a tie with the

Chicago — With starting pitcher Alex Faedo going on the injured list Saturday (finger soreness), the Tigers decided to call-up right-handed bulk-innings reliever Garrett Hill. That could mean the Tigers plan to deploy a bullpen game on Tuesday, which would have been Faedo’s next start. “Hill will be in the ‘pen and we will use
