Another game, another feeble performance from the Detroit Tigers. Joey Wentz melted down as soon as he got in trouble, and the offense was completely outclassed as usual. This was a particularly ugly one, but par for the course for an offense nearly seven months into a historically bad run. Before the game even started,
The Tigers placed right-hander Trey Wingenter on the 15-day injured list due to tendinitis in his throwing shoulder. Wingenter’s placement is retroactive to April 19. Righty Will Vest was called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move. The IL stint adds to an overall tough start to the season for Wingenter, who has an 8.31
The Erie bats went cold on Saturday night at The Diamond as they were shut out by the Richmond Flying Squirrels 2-0. Both starting pitchers were on point in their outings. Richmond’s Kai Wei Teng hurled four scoreless innings with no walks and eight strikeouts in a no-decision effort. Erie The Erie bats went cold

Baltimore – Akil Baddoo, albeit only in glimpses so far in his young career, shows how disruptive he can be. In the ninth inning Friday, with the Tigers down 1-0 and facing flame-throwing right-hander Felix Bautista, Baddoo led off with a pinch-hit single and then fearlessly stole second base on Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman. He
BALTIMORE — Tyler Nevin is doing all the right things at the plate. Except getting hits. The 25-year-old has received 14 plate appearances since the Detroit Tigers recalled him April 12 from Triple-A Toledo, following a rehab assignment. He is swinging at pitches inside the strike zone and making contact on pitches inside the strike zone,
Baltimore – Outfielder Matt Vierling sat in front of his locker Saturday afternoon meticulously re-taping a couple of his bats. “That’s the tape with all the hits in it, right?” he was asked. ‘Yep, this is it.” Nobody is rushing to judgment after 58 plate appearances, but Vierling will be the first to tell you,
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps saw their bats come alive as a late mistake forced across the go-ahead run in a 5-4 victory over the Dayton Dragons Saturday afternoon at LMCU Ballpark. The Whitecaps collected four doubles – including a multi-hit game from Steele Walker – as COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The
BALTIMORE — The Detroit Tigers want all their pitchers, especially right-hander Michael Lorenzen, to throw strikes. So far, Lorenzen has answered the call. The 31-year-old, who signed a one-year, $8.5 million contract in the offseason, was shelled in his first start for the Tigers. He walked two batters and thought his individual pitches were better than

COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps saw their bullpen struggle as the Dayton Dragons used a massive seventh inning to propel them to a 7-3 victory Friday night in front of 4,205 fans at LMCU Ballpark. After not allowing an earned run through the first three games of COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The
BALTIMORE — Staring down the closer they call “The Mountain,” Javier Báez coiled in the batter’s box Friday night at Oriole Park, the Tigers down by a run and facing their final out. Báez spit on Félix Bautista’s first pitch, buzzing in over the zone at 101.6 mph. He swung through the next, a splitter.

Baltimore – The fans at Camden Yards were chanting “Over-rated, over-rated,” during Javier Báez’s at-bats Friday night. But with the Tigers down to their last strike in the ninth inning, against Orioles right-hander Felix Bautista who was throwing 102-mph heaters and 90-mph splitters, Báez delivered a clutch, two-out single to score Akil Baddoo from second

The SeaWolves jumped ahead for the third time in the series in the top of the first inning. Colt Keith singled with one out off of Mason Black, extending his The SeaWolves snapped a three-game
Baltimore — The Tigers’ clubhouse erupted, partly is shock, partly in sympathetic agony, when the Los Angeles Dodgers broke up former Tiger Drew Smyly’s bid for a perfect game in the eighth inning Friday in Chicago. “Oh my God!,” several players said as Cubs catcher Yan Gomes collided with Smyly tracking an swinging-bunt hit rolled
After an off-day (I imagine) spent taking an old-timey steam train from Detroit to Baltimore, with the players playing gin-rummy and taking turns bashing out Tin Pan Alley songs on an upright piano, the Tigers ran headlong into the Orioles’ hotter-than-hot pitching. Coming into the game they’d shut out opponents for 26 straight innings, but
BALTIMORE — Detroit Tigers relievers were riding a scoreless streak of more than 17 innings until right-hander José Cisnero reset the counter Friday night when the Baltimore Orioles hit a solo home run, breaking a scoreless tie, with two strikes and two outs in the seventh inning. Again, the Tigers showed their resiliency. A clutch two-strike,
