These are not sexy numbers. No matter what your baseball age, no matter what level you’re playing. Roberto Campos has a.214 batting average in 15 games. His on-base average is .267, with a .677 OPS. Also note that three of his 12 hits have been home runs. More to the point, understand he is 18
The Tigers are 47-53, 12 games behind the White Sox for the division lead. Their fate was sealed by a disastrous April when they went 8-19 to start the year. Since then, they’ve actually put together three consecutive winnings months, including an 11-8 mark so far in July. These Tigers have played perhaps the most

Rookie left-hander Tarik Skubal put the Detroit Tigers behind from the start. The first four Kansas City Royals he faced damaged him by tagging his fastball: Whit Merrifield doubled, Carlos Santana singled, Salvador Perez crushed a 454-foot three-run home run and Jorge Soler followed with a 425-foot solo blast. “Maybe one too many fastballs to Whit, but
Kansas City, Mo. — The Tigers will not visit Kauffman Stadium again this season and after the way things went this weekend, they’re probably OK with that. And we’re not talking about the oppressive heat. The Royals hit three home runs in three innings off rookie left-hander Tarik Skubal Sunday and completed the three-game weekend sweep
The SeaWolves outlasted the Binghamton Rumble Ponies on Sunday afternoon in another wild affair on the road. Binghamton smacked four home runs against Erie pitching, but the SeaWolves scored in four consecutive innings to take the series finale 9-6. Riley Greene scored three runs for the second game in a row, and Spencer Trokelson drove
Ichiro Suzuki once mentioned his favourite English expression involved the description of how hot day games in Kansas City are. (There’s some bleeped NSFW language in that clip.) Well, today in KC was one of those days, and the Tigers certainly felt the heat as they got defeated 6-1, and thus swept by the Royals
Preventing the long ball had been an issue in back-to-back losses for the Tigers entering Sunday. That issue came back to haunt Detroit in the series finale against the Royals, as starter Tarik Skubal could not limit the damage in the early stages of his outing during the Tigers’ 6-1 loss at Kauffman Stadium. Skubal
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana – The Toledo Mud Hens won the series finale 7-3 against the Indianapolis Indians at Victory Field on Sunday. Coming into Sunday, the Mud Hens trailed the division-leading Storm Chasers by just two games. The two teams will start a six-game series on Tuesday at Fifth Third Field in Toledo. Righty James Marvel,
Those who follow the Tigers might know the story. They know Aderlin Rodriguez will be 30 years old in November. That he came to the Tigers in January as a minor-league free agent who could play first base, third base, or, in a real pinch, outfield. And you know also: ► He signed originally, in

Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch isn’t ready to call Akil Baddoo his everyday leadoff hitter. Even as Baddoo appeared atop Sunday’s starting lineup against Kansas City Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch in search of snapping a two-game losing skid at Kauffman Stadium, Hinch was hesitant to call his 22-year-old rookie the team’s primary leadoff hitter. “We’ll see,” Hinch said
Kansas City, Mo. — Wait. The Tigers faced a hard-throwing young left-handed pitcher Sunday, Daniel Lynch, and left-handed hitting Akil Baddoo was hitting leadoff? And right-handed hitting Derek Hill was batting ninth? There must’ve been some eyes rolling in the Tigers’ analytics office when that lineup came out. But what the straight analytics don’t factor in
Rookie Akil Baddoo has been a steady piece for the Tigers this season. Through his first 78 games in the Majors, Baddoo is batting .272 with nine homers, 38 RBIs and 14 stolen bases. His 113 OPS+ leads all American League rookies entering Sunday. While Baddoo has had some success in the big leagues, Tigers
Well folks, the Detroit Tigers came into the weekend roaring on a seven-game winning streak but have been reduced to a soft meow over the past two games in Kansas City. Both losses were close ones, with Friday’s night’s matchup ending with a 5-3 score while Saturday night’s tangle saw the Tigers blow a 6-0
When Jimmy Kerr was promoted to the West Michigan Whitecaps, he felt at home — for good reason. Kerr was born in Arizona but he was key member of the Michigan baseball team that advanced to the 2019 College World Series and his parents have a place in northern Michigan. But there was another thing.
Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila made a bold statement last week when he spoke outside his team’s dugout. “We’re not rebuilding anymore,” Avila said. “We’re building.” For this to be true, owner Christopher Ilitch needs to spend in free agency. Some of the top prospects, specifically Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene, must be ready
