DETROIT — Before anyone judges where Spencer Turnbull is a month into his comeback season, remember where the Tigers right-hander was when he walked into Spring Training in mid-February and talked about what he’d learned in 16 months following Tommy John surgery.

Erie falls to Portland in extra innings in the series finale 6-2
Detroit — Staying in the fight. Competing until the last out. These have been hallmarks of AJ Hinch-managed teams in Detroit. Winning those games, though, remains a bit elusive. They played their seventh and final game of the season against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. They stayed in the fight, they battled back from a
The Toledo Mud Hens defeated the Syracuse Mets 12-2 in Sunday’s series finale at Fifth Third Field. They split this week’s series 3-3 with the Mets and improved their overall record to 17-9.

Erie dropped a second straight extra-inning game, falling for a fifth straight time to Portland, 6-2 in 10 innings. Erie grabbed an early lead when Diego Rincones scored Colt Keith with a two-out, first-inning single.

Two fastballs. Two home runs. And, yes, they came in Jace Jung’s first two at-bats Friday at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This isn’t necessarily what the Tigers expected last July when they made Jung, 22, and a left-handed swinging second baseman for high-Single A West Michigan, their first prize in the 2022 MLB Draft. But a
The automated ball-strike (ABS) system arrived in Triple-A Toledo this week, just in time for the Mud Hens’ homestand against the Syracuse Mets. It’s meant to test out the system in game situations.

Detroit — Tarik Skubal threw off a mound Saturday for the first time since he underwent flexor tendon surgery in August. Just like riding a bike? “You’d think,” he said, laughing. “I feel like I fell off a little bit, scraped my elbows and knees.” He was joking, as his beaming smile conveyed. Skubal threw
Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal stood on the mound in the bullpen Saturday at Comerica Park. Tim Remes, the bullpen catcher, crouched behind home plate, while athletic trainers Duncan Evans and Ryne Eubanks monitored his movements from the side.
