The Detroit Tigers absolutely firebombed the Cincinnati Reds in their own ballpark on Friday night. They bludgeoned five home runs, racked up 18 hits and three walks, and cruised to a rather convincing 15-5 victory over a Reds’ club that entered the night clinging to the final National League wild card spot. The game began
CINCINNATI — Jonathan Schoop put his hands in the air and bounced through the Detroit Tigers‘ dugout in the third inning. None of his teammates celebrated with him. The Tigers made Schoop wait for their smiles and cheers, giving him the silent treatment following his home run off Cincinnati Reds starter Vladimir Gutierrez, because Schoop made
CINCINNATI — The Tigers had done enough rallying from behind this week. They had played nine of 10 games within a margin of two runs or closer. They were ready for a runaway. And yet, hard as it might be to believe as the Tigers strolled out of Great American Ball Park with a 15-5
Cincinnati — The last couple of years, September for the Tigers has meant checking off boxes on the organizational to-do list. It’s meant taking extended looks at players — young and older — to determine if there might be a place for them next season. It’s meant keeping a better player on the bench in a clutch situation so
The Erie SeaWolves saw their three game win streak come to a close on Friday night at UPMC Park, as the Harrisburg Senators pummeled them in a 9-6 defeat.

CINCINNATI — The Tigers’ recent propensity for comebacks has had two facets. Detroit’s late-inning offensive rallies have gotten the bulk of the attention, but the club’s middle-inning relief has quietly been as big of a factor. That’s where guys like Alex Lange, who tossed scoreless eighth and ninth innings in Thursday’s 8-6 loss to the

CINCINNATI — The Detroit Tigers have 27 games remaining in AJ Hinch’s first year as manager, entering Friday’s series opener with the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. This is the time of the season where non-postseason contenders can look to the future. The Tigers (63-72) surely need to learn more about a number of players
Cincinnati — When the Tigers sent reliever Alex Lange back to Toledo in July, he was given very direct marching orders — work on getting through an inning in less than 20 pitches. He wouldn’t be of much use, the way the Tigers’ bullpen is constructed, if he couldn’t pitch multiple innings. And the 25- to 30-pitch innings

Usually most Triple-A baseball series in early September can be pretty drab affairs of two teams playing out the string of another long summer of baseball.

Trouble With the Curve is a rather clichéd sports drama stocked with stereotypes instead of characters and a fairly predictable plot; the quality of the actors involved is what carries this paper-thin story and make it even remotely watchable. This isn’t your classic sports drama, for obvious reasons, but there might be enough in there…
