PITTSBURGH — The Detroit Tigers tacked on their final run in the eighth inning of Sunday’s 4-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. Akil Baddoo applied pressure with a leadoff walk. The Tigers were in business with Jonathan Schoop at the plate. In an 0-2 count, Baddoo knew Schoop would be aggressive. He took off

PITTSBURGH — If there was any question about Spencer Torkelson’s future position in Detroit as he settles in at first base at Triple-A Toledo down the stretch this season, Tigers manager A.J.

Pittsburgh — Some players can watch themselves on video and see precisely where their mechanics have gone off track. With other players, watching video is a waste of time. They have to feel it. Tigers reliever Bryan Garcia is in the latter category. “Everybody has a different pitching language in their brain,” he said. “With me,

The Toledo Mud Hens have the deepest collection of Detroit Tigers prospects right now, and they also happened to play the most pivotal series of any team in the system last week, so that’s an easy place to start.
The latest on coronavirus-related situations around baseball… The Tigers placed right-hander Joe Jimenez on the COVID-related injury list yesterday due to a positive test. First base coach George Lombard also tested positive, while pitching coach Chris Fetter, quality control coach Josh Paul and bullpen catcher Jeremy Carroll are away from the team due to contact
On a March day in 1981, at a baseball clubhouse in Sun City, Arizona, a young sports writer approached a player he needed to speak with for a Detroit News story. Moreover, this was a man the scribe wanted to talk with because he knew from all testimony that Ted Simmons was a definitively interesting
We don’t often consider extensions to Detroit Tigers players. Nick Castellanos was the last Tiger who really deserved serious consideration, but these are different times for the organization, with several different decision-makers holding the keys. And there are very good reasons why the Tigers may consider trying to convince third baseman Jeimer Candelario to sign
PITTSBURGH — Detroit Tigers rookie starting pitchers Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal understand the bigger picture of the organization’s plan. The Tigers aren’t in postseason contention with a 65-74 record, but they want to prepare their young pitchers for October by getting them acclimated to a 162-game season. Reaching the playoffs could happen in 2022, considering this
Perfection was not the goal for Casey Mize on Sunday in Cincinnati. The Detroit Tigers’ rookie righty went into the game knowing he had nine outs to get, per the plan. And get them he did, retiring the nine Reds he faced in order — no hits, no walks, no runs allowed over three innings

We hear from manager A.J. Hinch after his Tigers drop a 6-3 decision to the Pirates on Monday. #Leinenkugels
Pittsburgh — It was a rough Labor Day for the Tigers. In the morning they learned that pitcher Joe Jimenez and bench coach George Lombard tested positive for COVID-19 and three other coaches would have to leave for quarantining because of contact tracing. “It’s just something you’ve got to deal with,” shortstop Niko Goodrum said.
The Tigers were down early, roared back, and then watched the game slip away in a rough seventh inning as the Pirates took game one by a score of 6-3 on Monday. Tarik Skubal got the start, but as with Casey Mize, these are going to be short outings the rest of the way as
PITTSBURGH — Detroit Tigers reliever Joe Jimenez and bench coach George Lombard tested positive for COVID-19. Both are vaccinated and experienced symptoms. The Tigers will also be without pitching coach Chris Fetter, quality control coach Josh Paul and bullpen catcher Jeremy Carroll because of contact-tracing. The organization received the results of its latest batch of
PITTSBURGH — Once again, Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal struggled in the first inning. He bounced back for perfect second and third innings before manager AJ Hinch removed him from the game. Through 25 starts this season, the 24-year-old has a 6.48 ERA in the first frame but often improves for the rest of his outing. This time,
PITTSBURGH — The velocity with which Tarik Skubal fired his glove off the dugout wall might have rivaled his hardest fastball during the 28-pitch opening inning that preceded his rare flash of anger Monday afternoon at PNC Park. It was an emotion that continued in the Tigers’ 6-3 loss to the Pirates. This was a
What was it like, Todd Jones was asked last week, pitching to a someday-Hall of Famer? What was it like during their 14 seasons of common big-league years, eight of which Jones spent with the Tigers, squaring off against a Yankees shortstop and right-handed swinger named Derek Jeter? Jones preferred to respond in an email. There
