DETROIT — The Tigers have invested millions into the study of advanced metrics and analytics. Still, it’s understandable that the recurrence of the number zero can feel like a pattern. Thursday’s 7-0 loss to the Mariners at Comerica Park marked the MLB-leading 18th time the Tigers have been shut out this year. “It’s only that

Spencer Torkelson, the rookie first baseman, moved into his new locker in the Detroit Tigers‘ clubhouse. “Thank God,” he joked. The old one? Against the other wall? It’s got bad memories from his first stint in Detroit when he hit .197 in 83 games before he was sent back to Toledo. And besides, the old
Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez wasn’t sharp in his third start since returning from the restricted list. The 29-year-old only issued two walks in Thursday’s start, but he allowed six runs and failed to pitch into the fifth inning. His competition, 25-year-old right-hander Logan Gilbert, twirled six scoreless innings for the Seattle Mariners. The Tigers
Detroit — Tucker Barnhart was told the 7-0 loss to the Mariners on Thursday was the 18th time this season the Tigers have been shut out. “It’s only that many?” he said. “It’s not higher? Feels like it’s higher.” He wasn’t trying to be funny or sarcastic. The grind of this season, encapsulated in and
We hear from manager A.J. Hinch after his Tigers suffer their 18th shutout of the season and a three-game series sweep by the Mariners. #Leinenkugels
The Tigers took on the Mariners on a delightful, sunny Detroit afternoon to try to salvage the finale of a three-game set. They did not do so, and lost meekly to the Washingtonians 7-0, getting only four hits in the process. Let’s just say the Tigers looked as powerless as DTE has left much of
Detroit — On Wednesday, the day before he was to make his third start since coming off the restricted list, Eduardo Rodriguez talked about the last piece of the puzzle that needed to come back to form — his velocity. “That’s the only part I’m still building up,” he said. “The rest, everything else is fine. The
Players in Triple-A Toledo were aware of the timeline. Mud Hens manager Lloyd McClendon called a team meeting after Wednesday’s game in Rochester, New York. Major League Baseball rosters expanded by two players Thursday, and the Detroit Tigers planned to promote at least one position player from Toledo. “We thought we’d figure out who was

Ryan Kreidler didn’t allow himself to use the word “frustrated” to describe his injury-plagued season when he talked about it in Toledo a couple weeks ago. “It’s been a
Detroit — Infielder Ryan Kreidler, the Tigers’ No. 7-rated prospect, is finally here. First baseman Spencer Torkelson, the No. 1 overall pick in 2020 who struggled out of the gate and was sent back to Triple-A Toledo, is back. Riley Greene has been manning center field and hitting leadoff for a couple of months. Outfielder Kerry
By Jerry Green | Special to The Detroit News Detroit — It was almost midnight when the swindle occurred, a sorry half decade ago. But the pain and the mirth remain. Pain if you’re from Detroit. Mirth and joyous mockery if you’re from Houston. This was the Great Verlander Swindle baseball’s worst player deal in 98 years.
It’s that point where the baseball fan must dig deep if they’re going to ride out the season. It’s the noble fan who sees the season through. It’s not easy. The leaves turning brings attention to the football Goliath as an alternative time suck. If your baseball club has packed it in it’s easy to…
If the 2022 Seattle Mariners ultimately hold on to a wild card berth, they may have the Detroit Tigers to thank in part. The first two games of the series have not gone well at all for the home team. The surging Mariners will look for the sweep on Thursday afternoon, a sweep that would
Every team, whether it’s a good one or a bad one or whatever comes in between, has an unsung hero. Call them a glue guy, a secret weapon, the X-factor: He’s the player who is key to everything his team is doing — and is generally underpublicized at doing so. So, this week at The
Toledo Mud Hens 5, Rochester Red Wings 4 (box) Elvin Rodriguez put together a good outing, and a pair of solo shots proved the margin of victory as the Red Wings mounted a late comeback on Wednesday. Rodriguez tossed six innings of two run ball to start the Hens on the right foot. He scattered
Ryan Kreidler’s story in pro ball has been one of self-determination, and it’s finally culminated in his arrival in the big leagues. Wednesday afternoon, the Tigers announced their intent to call up the infield prospect on Thursday. He’ll join Spencer Torkelson as the wayward first baseman returns to the fold as well looking to build
Matt Manning has taken a step forward in his development this season.

They’re not going to play every day, with the notable exception of Greene, but they’re going to play enough to show what they can do. Ideally, they’ll play enough for the Tigers to evaluate them for next season. For manager A.J. Hinch, that involves not just playing enough to compile stats, but enough to make
