DETROIT — Not even a passing downpour could cool off longtime Tigers nemesis and current Blue Jays starter José Berríos on Sunday at Comerica Park. Matthew Boyd couldn’t do anything about that. All he and the bullpen that followed him could do is keep the Tigers close. Though Boyd remains winless against his original organization
The rubber match of the three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, on a warm weekend in Detroit, resulted in a 2-1 victory for the visitors, whose only runs came on a pair of solo home runs. Matthew Boyd made his return to Detroit for his first start since June 14. He threw nearly five
Wearing a Mud Hens uniform, an hour drive south of Comerica Park, is a left-handed batter who in 2021 has bashed 20 home runs for Triple-A Toledo. He has a .256 batting average. He has a .336 on-base percentage, and a fat .508 slugging percentage, which is how you roll up a robust .871 OPS. And even as the
What, exactly, to do with Kody Clemens? The Tigers seem to be asking the same question. They seem just as intent to wait and see if, in fact, they have a helpful lineup piece percolating, especially when Clemens has been handling second base, first base, and the outfield during these 2021 months at Triple A Toledo.

DETROIT — Tuesday will mark the four-year anniversary of Daz Cameron joining the Tigers’ organization as part of the Justin Verlander trade. As Saturday’s move to Triple-A Toledo shows, he still has to fight his way into Detroit’s outfield mix. The Tigers’ roster makeup meant one of their young outfielders was going to be optioned

Detroit — When Robbie Grossman walked up to the plate in the first inning Saturday night, something didn’t look right. The Blue Jays were short an infielder. Then he looked out beyond the infield and there were four fielders stationed around the outfield. “That’s different,” Grossman said. When he flew out to left-center field in the
Tommey Walker, a local Detroit artist, started the phrase “Detroit vs Everybody” and it has been seen on shirts sold at his shop in Downtown Detroit. A good majority of Metro Detroit is familiar with this phrase. Apparently, so is Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch.
It has been a thrilling series so far between the Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays this weekend, with the two splitting a pair of closely-contested pitcher’s duels including a 3-2 extra-inning loss on Saturday night to knot things up. The matchups on the mound have been heavily in the visiting team’s favor but the
Ahead of Sunday’s series finale, the Detroit Tigers needed to make room on the active roster. The decision seemingly came down to outfielders Daz Cameron and Victor Reyes, as the Tigers had to clear a roster spot for left-hander Matthew Boyd. He was activated from the injured list as Sunday’s scheduled starting pitcher against the
The Tigers have reinstated left-handed pitcher Matthew Boyd from the 60-day injured list, per a team announcement. Boyd will start this afternoon’s game against the Blue Jays. To make room on the active roster, outfielder Daz Cameron was optioned to Triple-A. No corresponding move was required for the 40-man roster as the team has multiple
Detroit Tigers fans, heck, Detroit sports fans in general, have heard a lot of bold statements from coaches and managers over the years. Most of them, particularly coming from the unending parade of failed Lions’ coaches, have proved painful in retrospect, if not outright deranged. But we’re unused to hearing a lot of bold talk
Gerson Adamus drew a one-out walk in the first inning. “Now here comes one of the finest athletes in this year’s Little League World Series: Jonathan Schoop,” play-by-play broadcaster Brent Musburger said on the ABC telecast. “He’s a slick fielding shortstop, and he can also do some damage with the bat.” Seventeen years later, this memory reminds Schoop why he loves

Detroit — For six innings, Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah, the hulking 6-foot-6, 260-pound rookie, was as oppressive and defeating as the heavy, 90-degree air at Comerica Park Saturday night. “He’s a big, physical dude,” Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch said. “It just almost felt like he was inventing pitches out there,” Tigers catcher Eric
