We hear from Robbie Grossman after he knocks in a run and scores another as his Tigers keep rolling with a 7-5 victory over the Rangers on Thursday. #DetroitRoots
The Tigers were looking for a perfect 7-0 homestand on Thursday afternoon, in the finale of a four-game series against the Rangers. They got it, and the four-game sweep of Texas, with a 7-5 getaway-day victory, remaining the only undefeated post-All-Star Break team in baseball. Tyler Alexander got the start for Detroit, being moved semi-permanently
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Phil Coke is the ultimate Detroit Tigers hype-man. The bullpen phone rings and the call is in. The ginger reliever hurries to the mound, attempting what appears oddly similar to a tryout for the 100-meter dash.
DETROIT — The last time the Tigers had a perfect homestand of at least seven games, Jim Leyland was managing them to their third straight American League Central title. That was in 2013. The last time Detroit won seven in a row at any point in a season, it was trying to climb back in

The Detroit Tigers will have to wait a little longer for Jake Rogers. The 26-year-old catcher missed Monday’s series opener with the Texas Rangers and was sent to the 10-day injured list with right arm soreness. Medical tests revealed a pronator teres strain, which is a forearm injury near his elbow. Manager AJ Hinch initially
By Dana Wakiji | Special to The Detroit News Detroit — On Wednesday, Tigers manager AJ Hinch had to take Isaac Paredes out of the lineup because of a sore right hip. Before Thursday’s day game, the team placed Paredes on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 20, and recalled Willi Castro from Triple-A Toledo.
Detroit Tigers rookie Matt Manning looked comfortable Wednesday night. Almost as if he owned the Comerica Park mound, resembling the demeanors of fellow rookies Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal in their outings Monday and Tuesday, respectively. The young arms handed the lowly Texas Rangers three consecutive losses. “Kind of what everyone expected when we were
DETROIT — Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has talked for weeks about the glut of young players he’s trying to get into his outfield. As Rangers slugger Joey Gallo looked out — way out — to the Tigers’ defense the last few nights, this wasn’t what Hinch meant. Comerica Park boasts one of the largest outfields
With Ian Krol making his return to the Tigers last week, it seems like an ideal time to reflect not on Krol, but on the man who the Tigers traded him away for during his last stint with the team. It’s also an intriguing tie-in with the draft happening just last week to focus on
Detroit — Understandably, manager AJ Hinch and pitching coach Chris Fetter are trying to keep things uncluttered for rookie Matt Manning as he takes his first spin through big-league lineups. Keep things as simple as they can be and just let him compete. “I don’t really care about the (pitch) mix,” Hinch said before the game. “Everybody
Kody Clemens just wants to reach the big leagues. He expected to play second base for Triple-A Toledo this season, three years after the Detroit Tigers selected him out of Texas in the third round of the 2018 MLB draft, but manager AJ Hinch believes defensive versatility is the gateway for prospects to arrive — and stick — at

The Tigers 4 runs all came off 3 home runs, the last one a towering blast from rookie Akil Baddoo, his 8th of the season. Zack Short connected on his 4th home run in the 2nd inning, and Robbie Grossman got things started with his 15th home run in the first inning. Matt Manning pitched
We hear from Matt Manning after he picks up a victory Wednesday, holding the Rangers to two runs on four hits over six innings. #DetroitRoots
Casey Mize took the mound Monday. Tarik Skubal dominated Tuesday. And Matt Manning stepped up Wednesday. “They want to take advantage of these opportunities,” manager AJ Hinch said. “They’re learning. They’re growing. But most importantly, they’re putting us in a position to win. That’s what their job is the day they have the ball.” The efforts from
