Detroit – Riley Greene, before he knocked a walk-off home run into the center field shrubs Saturday giving the Tigers a thrilling 4-3 win, found himself caught in a crossfire between shortstop Javier Báez and Royals reliever Amir Garrett. This was in the sixth inning and Greene had just been called out on strikes by
Before Saturday’s game, Detroit Tigers right-hander Rony García reported shoulder soreness. The 24-year-old has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder soreness, meaning he will miss Monday’s start as part of the Tigers’ doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians at Comerica Park. “MRI came back fine,” manager A.J. Hinch said after Saturday’s 4-3

True baseball fans don’t leave until the game is over. Forget about beating traffic or making a flight for the out-of-towners, it ain’t over until it’s over. Riley Greene proved that tonight with his first (and I’m sure there will be many more) home run that came with one out in a tie ballgame in
Detroit — The Tigers were dead in the water. No hits since the fifth inning. Then, boom boom. Victor Reyes and Riley Greene hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the ninth and the Tigers escaped with a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals Saturday at Comerica Park. Before that, the only intensity came
Riley Greene drilled a leadoff triple to straightaway center field. The ball was hit with a 105.7 mph exit velocity, traveled 413 feet and would’ve been a home run in 22 ballparks. The rookie immediately scored on Javier Báez’s sacrifice fly in the first inning. But Greene saved the big fireworks for the ninth inning. The 21-year-old blasted
Greene had just missed a homer to the same area in the first inning, sending a 413-foot triple to the center-field fence. He came up in the ninth after Victor Reyes hit a game-tying drive to right field off Joel Payamps. Greene followed with a 432-foot drive to near-straightaway center field. While his triple would’ve
For the final pitch of his outing, Kansas City Royals starter Brad Keller drilled Detroit Tigers rookie Spencer Torkelson in the helmet with an 88 mph changeup in Friday’s seventh inning. “It rung my bell a little bit,” Torkelson said Saturday. Keller tried to get his attention, but Torkelson was already walking off the Comerica Park field and

Detroit – Is it really possible the Tigers are at yet another crossroads with third baseman Jeimer Candelario? After back-to-back productive seasons, after leading the Major Leagues with 42 doubles last season and being named Tiger of the Year by the Detroit chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America in 2020 and 2021, Candelario
The Detroit Tigers have an opportunity heading into the MLB All-Star break. The postseason goal is all but officially out of reach, with a month until the Aug. 2 trade deadline. (To reach 90 wins, the Tigers must win 70% of their remaining 87 games — or 61.) The offense is historically bad, averaging 2.97 runs per
Does Detroit Tigers’ owner Chris Ilitch watch any of the games? Does he pay attention at all? Does he even care about this team? These are probably all rhetorical questions, but they are still worth asking after his tone-deaf comments yesterday.
The Detroit Tigers’ weekend homestand against the Kansas City Royals got off to a sluggish start on Friday night despite Michael Pineda’s return to the starting rotation, giving the team some much-needed quality innings. Ultimately, the offense sputtered out once again and AJ Hinch’s squad took the 3-1 loss that also saw rookie Spencer Torkelson
Detroit — Coming back off the long road trip, there was some housekeeping to do before the Tigers started a short homestand Friday night. To wit: ► Veteran right-hander Michael Pineda was activated off the injured list and would, rain permitting, make his first start Friday since breaking a finger on his pitching hand on
Ahmed Fareed used to mimic Detroit Tigers great Lou Whitaker’s batting stance as a high school player in Sparta, Michigan. “He was my Tiger,” Fareed said while talking with the Free Press recently, joking about Detroit’s “Who’s Your Tiger?” campaign that debuted in 2005. Fareed, a Grand Rapids native, hosts “MLB Sunday Leadoff” on NBC’s

DETROIT — The stoic reaction from Spencer Torkelson gave no hint that he had just taken an 88 mph pitch off the left side of his head. That’s a credit to the protective helmet and added flap that he has been wearing all season. Still, the flushed look on the side of his face, growing
