COLUMBUS – The Toledo Mud Hens defeated the Columbus Clippers by a score of 8-3 at Huntington Park on Thursday afternoon.

Detroit — Once upon a time, like last season, manager AJ Hinch talked about his “path to victory” bullpen. If the Tigers had a lead after six innings, most times he would call on Joe Jimenez, Alex Lange or Andrew Chafin to work the sixth or seventh, Michael Fulmer and Jose Cisnero to work the

Zach McKinstry shares his thoughts on today’s game, the Tigers recent success, and his first home run in the Old English D.

Detroit — Spencer Turnbull spent 19 months learning to be patient. It’s not his go-to frame of mind. But recovering from Tommy John surgery is a painstakingly slow and arduous and, frankly, lonely process. Being patient is not only a virtue, it’s mandatory. Lo and behold, four starts into his return to the Tigers’ rotation
DETROIT — The moment Spencer Torkelson took to admire his home run Wednesday looked like a throwback to his “Tork Bomb” days at Arizona State. It was well-deserved.
