DETROIT — Tigers manager A.J. Hinch hasn’t had to say much to Spencer Torkelson about fitting into the Major Leagues. When they were both early arrivals to Comerica Park on Friday morning, however, they sat down together for breakfast in the clubhouse. “We just all encouraged him to soak it up,” Hinch said before the
On a typical cold early April day in Detroit, the story early on was two starting pitchers struggling to control their offerings to varying levels of success.

Javier Báez drove in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning after Eric Haase tied the
Javier Báez is known for wacky plays — it’s what earned him the nickname “El Mago.” He lived up to that moniker on Opening Day against the White Sox at Comerica Park, when he provided the Tigers with a 5-4 win on a replay review. After a solo home run from Eric Haase tied the

Wielding his iconic “Seven Nation Army” guitar, Jack White delivered an unconventional sort of “Star-Spangled Banner” to kick off Detroit Tigers festivities at Comerica Park on Friday. The Detroit native and lifelong baseball fan was invited to perform the national anthem for the Tigers’ Opening Day game against the Chicago White Sox. With a giant
There are some truly great constants from season to season in baseball: great plays, stellar home runs, rain delays, and bad umpire calls. But one constant we enjoy most is the ability of custom shirt brand BreakingT to bring us unique player tees that are fun and timely. They didn’t disappoint this year, bringing us
DETROIT — Amidst the joy of pageantry of Opening Day at Comerica Park, the Tigers had a reminder of the loss they suffered in the offseason. In the Tigers clubhouse, Kimera Bartee’s No. 18 jersey hangs inside a coaches locker. On the Tigers’ jerseys this season, a patch with the initials “KB” sits on the
The 2022 Detroit Tigers are introduced before their home opener on April 8.
On Wednesday, we opened our MLB Opening Week coverage of this year’s AL Central by covering the Kansas City Royals, a team with compelling pieces but huge question marks within their pitching staff.

It’s Opening Day. But, forecasters say, don’t expect picture-perfect weather Friday. Instead, be prepared for some intermittent showers with lightning and a good chance of white and opaque graupel. For those who don’t know their German, it’s also known as soft, small pellets — or as University of Michigan fans say, hail. But, not that kind of hail. The kind
The waiting’s over; it’s time to play ball.

Christmas Eve and Opening Day. Maybe New Year’s Day for some. The WWE Royal Rumble for me. No other day like it. A day filled with wonderment and hope and that unique feeling of anything is possible.
