DETROIT — No, Miguel Cabrera did not get any closer to the 3,000-hit or 500-homer clubs. He did, however, get the Tigers a step closer to .500. In the end, that team success is still more important to him than individual milestones. While Cabrera gave the number-changers a day off for his home run (still
The finale of a four-game series between Baltimore and Detroit saw a lockdown performance from the bullpen and some timely, workmanlike hitting, and a 6-2 victory secured a split of the quartet of contests. Today’s game wasn’t flashy, but it made you feel pretty satisfied afterwards — you know, like a good meatloaf dinner. Spenser
MIDLAND, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps overcame spotty showers throughout Sunday afternoon but couldn’t overcome a rocky fifth inning as part of a 5-1 loss to the Great Lakes Loons on Sunday at Dow Diamond. Light rain came and went throughout the proceedings on Sunday, but the Loons drew three walks that all scored
No blaming those who follow Detroit baseball for wondering if, perchance, September might bring a sneak peek at, say, Riley Greene, or maybe Spencer Torkelson, when teams have the option of calling up extras for their big-league rosters. But it isn’t going to happen. Greene and Torkelson, as well as Dillon Dingler, and shortstop Ryan
It’s a natural question, wondering when those prep and college pitching stars drafted by the Tigers last month will work in minor-league games somewhere within the Tigers chain. The answer today is the same as the answer before any of the pitchers signed: The Tigers don’t know. “I don’t want to overstate it, but we

Before Thursday, Akil Baddoo and Cedric Mullins hadn’t stood face-to-face in one year. But they text and talk on the phone, even connecting via FaceTime when Baddoo launched a home run on the first pitch he saw in his first MLB at-bat. They have known each other for about seven years, thanks to their travel baseball
Detroit — He’s 5-foot-10, 180 pounds and if you think he’s got sneaky power with a baseball bat in his hands, you should see him on a tee box with a driver in his hands. He can straight bomb it. “That gets me in trouble, too,” Tigers shortstop Zack Short said before the Tigers completed their
The Erie SeaWolves are the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, and play at the beautifully updated UPMC Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. UPMC Park has been home to the Erie SeaWolves since 1995.

A couple of days ago we were talking about the Detroit Tigers’ three-game winning streak after taking the final two of three from the Minnesota Twins and winning the first of four against the Baltimore Orioles. Unfortunately, the boys in the Olde English D failed to keep the streak alive, resulting in a two-game skid
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch and general manager Al Avila are eager for the future. You could hear it in their voices. “When you’re not a team that’s acquiring, it’s not nearly as fun,” Hinch said Friday, after the 4 p.m. trade deadline passed. “We’ve got to always remember that we want to add. That’s the goal.
Akil Baddoo was a social butterfly, working his way around the Tiger Club at Comerica Park on Friday, squeezing between tables, flashing an electric smile — confident and outgoing, full of charisma.

MIDLAND, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps enjoyed some tremendous performances up-and-down their lineup on Saturday while enjoying clutch pitching as part of a 7-4 win over the Great Lakes Loons in front of 4.222 fans Saturday night at Dow Diamond.

Detroit Tigers rookie Tarik Skubal came undone Friday due to three solo home runs by the Baltimore Orioles, resulting in in a 4-3 loss. On Saturday, fellow rookie Matt Manning’s downfall was much simpler: A two-out grounder to shortstop with the bases loaded that didn’t result in an inning-ending out and led to a 5-2 loss. “(When
Detroit — Rookie right-hander Matt Manning was out of the sixth inning with no damage, about to walk off the mound with a solid, quality start, keeping the Tigers down by just one skinny run. But what should have been an inning-ending 6-4 fielder’s choice ended up igniting a three-run inning and sending the Orioles to
