We hear from manager A.J. Hinch after his Tigers suffer a 7-2 loss to the Rays on Saturday. #Leinenkugels
Detroit — It was the response you’d expect from the defending American League champs and a team threatening to run away with the East Division title. After enduring a 10-4 loss to the Tigers on Friday night, the Tampa Bay Rays came hungry Saturday and put a 7-2 beating on the Tigers at Comerica Park. “The
Here’s a look at Saturday’s top Minor League performers from each team’s Top 30 Prospects list: Rays: Shane Baz, RHP (MLB No. 20), Triple-A DurhamBaz kept his phenomenal season rolling with 10 strikeouts over six innings, allowing one run on three hits in Game 2 of Durham’s doubleheader.

The Erie SeaWolves were shutout for the ninth time this season on Saturday night, taking an 11-0 final against the Altoona Curve. It was the first time Erie had been shutout since the end of July, and the largest defeat of the year for the team. Resse Olson was hit for a career-high seven runs,
The Detroit Tigers planned for their bullpen to cover six innings Saturday. But Casey Mize — who tossed three perfect innings on 34 pitches in his Sept. 5 outing — wasn’t as electric against the American League East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. Under strict workload restrictions, Mize’s pitch count forced his exit after two innings, meaning the relievers needed to
DETROIT — Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said before Saturday’s 7-2 loss to the Rays that he had an innings count in mind for Casey Mize. That was before a three-run, 35-pitch second inning that pushed Mize’s pitch count to 48 and brought Bryan Garcia out of the bullpen for the third inning. These are the
Detroit Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd has scheduled a visit with Dr. Keith Meister in Texas, one day after he was scratched from Friday’s start against the Tampa Bay Rays with “recurring elbow soreness.” Boyd, 30, landed on the injured list Saturday with a left elbow strain. “He’ll see the doctors early next week,” Hinch said. “We’ll get

DETROIT — Jean-Luc has grown up a Tigers fan in North Carolina through his dad, and dreamed of going to a game and watching Miguel Cabrera bat. Like his favorite team, the 16-year-old knows a thing or two about defying expectations. When Jean-Luc was very young, he was diagnosed with autism, hypotonia, ocular albinism and
Detroit — Victor Reyes is a fighter. Every time the roster numbers look like they are lined up against him, every time it looks like he’s going to get another ticket to Triple-A Toledo, he goes on a tear at the plate. “Just as the roster was starting to squeeze and we thought he was
Detroit — The Tigers aren’t completely closing the door on Matthew Boyd pitching again this season, but the odds are stacked hard against that happening. “He’s going to see doctors next week,” manager AJ Hinch said Saturday. “He is scheduled to see Dr. (Keith) Meister in Dallas and then we’ll get further evaluations and opinions and

Once again, the Detroit Tigers seem to get up for series against the better teams in the game. After Friday night’s convincing victory, they hold a 31-30 record against teams with a winning record, which is pretty encouraging. They’ll look to secure another series victory on Saturday night, and they should have the advantage in
Miguel Cabrera did something no player 38 years or older has done since Ty Cobb did it in 1925 – hit safely in 9 consecutive at bats. It’s also the longest hit streak by any Tiger of any age since 1952. The hot streak pushed his career total to 2,973 hits. Listen to radio play-by-play
There are big “what-if’s” in sports–what if Derek Jeter got drafted by the Houston Astros? Or, what if Michael Jordan never retired? What if the Detroit Pistons took Carmelo Anthony or Chris Bosh or Dwayne Wade in the 2003 draft? It may not be the same magnitude as these franchise-altering decisions, but I cannot help…
Hall of Fame pitcher Jack Morris returned to the Bally Sports Detroit telecast booth Friday at Comerica Park, following a 23-day, 10-assignment suspension for his remark toward Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani. When play-by-play announcer Matt Shepard asked how the Detroit Tigers should approach Ohtani in his upcoming at-bat in the sixth inning Aug. 17 at Comerica Park,
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch sat in the stands for the 2001 World Series. He remembers watching the series with his wife. The New York Yankees were facing the Arizona Diamondbacks. The national anthem felt personal: The country was coming back from the most significant historical event of Hinch’s generation. Silently observing the recreation of the raising
This hasn’t been a good week for the Detroit Tigers in terms of injuries. Other teams have greater cause for complaint, but the Tigers now have two notable pieces in their 2022 plans out for the long haul in Spencer Turnbull and Jake Rogers. The young Tigers’ backstop underwent UCL replacement on Wednesday, and is
Detroit — The ball really did hit him. Jonathan Schoop will show you the scratch on his leg if you need proof. “Yeah, he told me, ‘It actually did hit me,'” Akil Baddoo said. “I said, ‘Well be glad they didn’t call it. You got a grand slam.” In a night of unique feats and wild
