Beth Harris | AP Sports Writer Los Angeles – As the standing ovation for his 3,000th career strikeout grew louder, Max Scherzer paused on the mound.

This week is the final games of the season for Double-A Erie, High-A West Michigan, and Low-A Lakeland. For Detroit Tigers prospect fans, it is the end of some considerable growth in a system that will be under new supervision in 2022.
PITTSBURGH — Don Kelly wasn’t just a Tigers player the last time Detroit had a playoff team, he was a postseason folk hero, hitting the go-ahead homer in Game 5 of the 2011 American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium and a walk-off sacrifice fly in Game 2 of the 2012 AL Division Series against
The Detroit Tigers gutted out a memorable comeback victory Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The late-inning heroics from Jeimer Candelario and Robbie Grossman provided a 8-7 win in the 11th inning at Comerica Park. But the game could have been less stressful. Manager AJ Hinch lined up his bullpen perfectly, thanks to three scoreless innings from starter Tarik
A line drive to the right-center gap for the Detroit Tigers against the Twins in April. Another liner, this one down the left-field line in Baltimore in August. A ball crushed to center at Comerica Park that bounced over the fence against the Blue Jays. And, most recently, a dart that bounced off the bottom

Now that the Tigers have disposed of those pesky Rays, we welcome the Brewers to town before heading off to take on — checks notes — the Rays. While we hope those winning ways continue let’s catch up with some news. Tigers can hang In the aftermath of the Sunday win against the Marlins, Manager
Detroit — Robbie Grossman noticed it as soon as the Tigers reconvened after the All-Star break. There was something different about Jeimer Candelario. “You could tell when he went home for the All-Star break and came back, he had that look in his eyes,” Grossman said. “You could tell he went home and worked on some
Toledo Mud Hens 8, Iowa Cubs 1 (box) Three home runs and a strong day for the pitching staff carried the Mud Hens to a comfortable win over the Cubs as they took the six-game series five games to one. They got started early, as Daz Cameron led off the game with a double, and
Jeimer Candelario waited for the fifth pitch from Tampa Bay Rays reliever Andrew Kittredge on Sunday at Comerica Park. The Detroit Tigers‘ third baseman had worked a 2-2 count, fouling off a pair of fastballs and watching a fastball and a slider miss the strike zone. All he wanted was a quality at-bat. “That happened,”
The big storylines from today’s Padres-Dodgers game all revolve around Max Scherzer. Not only did he become just the 19th pitcher in Major League history to reach 3,000 career strikeouts, he also threw an immaculate inning and carried a perfect game into the eighth inning. However, the opposing clubhouse didn’t have nearly as much to
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. Here’s a look at every
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – Great Lakes Loons outfielder Andy Pages delivered two huge swings as the Loons piled on six runs in the ninth to rally past the West Michigan Whitecaps 10-7 in front of 4,942 fans in the LMCU Ballpark regular season finale on Sunday afternoon. Pages blasted two home runs accounting for four
Detroit — You understand the rationale behind the shortened starts. With limited work in the pandemic-truncated 2020 season, workloads have to be managed carefully this season and both Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal have quadrupled their innings over last year. But, man, it would’ve been fun to see Skubal keep pitching on Sunday. “Yeah, he was great,”

It did what it was intended to do, those six weeks during which Jackson Jobe and Ty Madden threw at the TigerTown complex at Lakeland, Florida. It got them ready for 2022 — when, assuming health holds, they’ll finally pitch in games somewhere in the Tigers farm chain. Each pitcher, drafted 1-2 by the Tigers in
DES MOINES, Iowa – The Toledo Mud Hens smashed three more home runs as they wrapped up a 13-game road trip with a convincing 8-1 victory over the Iowa Cubs on Sunday at Principal Park. Winners in six of their last seven, the result gives the Mud Hens (67-47) a 3.5 game lead over Omaha
When Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch brought Drew Hutchison out of the bullpen, his request was simple, yet seemingly difficult to achieve against the American League East-leading Tampa Bay Rays.
