Look we’re trying not to get cocky here, but the Detroit Tigers are injecting a bit of giddiness into the proceedings these days. Rookie starter Matt Manning put together a fine start, the Tigers got homers from Robbie Grossman, Zack Short, and Akil Baddoo, and once again the bullpen locked it down—with a bit of

We hear from Zack Short after his two-run homer turns out to be the difference-maker in Wednesday’s 4-2 victory over the Rangers. #DetroitRoots
DETROIT — For the third consecutive evening, the Tigers rode a rookie starter to a victory over the Rangers at Comerica Park. This time, Matt Manning delivered six quality innings in his sixth big league start, carrying a Tigers lead built on three home runs for a 4-2 victory Wednesday. The Tigers have won six
Erie had a quiet night in Binghamton on Wednesday, only scoring twice, and falling in a 10-inning walk-off to the Binghamton Rumble Ponies. Jesus Rodriguez spun six innings of one-run ball, but the SeaWolves bullpen allowed a pair of runs to squander a one-run lead, and eventually the game. Erie got a disciplined start by
In the past five games, the Detroit Tigers have scored 31 runs. And their opponents? Five. “We haven’t played perfect, but we’ve played clean,” manager AJ Hinch said before Wednesday’s game against the Texas Rangers. “That’s part of winning.” In building that 31-5 margin, the Tigers (45-51) have produced three shutouts: 1-0 over the Minnesota

DETROIT – Watching Casey Mize’s emergence as the Tigers’ most reliable starter over the past month and a half has been a regular reminder of Kyle Funkhouser’s contributions as a teammate. It’s as if every pitch Mize has made recently has had Funkhouser’s name all over it. Really, it has. Every time television cameras have
It sounds crazy, but the Detroit Tigers could find some help from a pair of players who have alienated themselves to the fanbase in their respective tenures. Christin Stewart and Renato Nunez continue to show out for the Toledo Mud Hens and might be an injury away from finding themselves back in Detroit yet this…
Tuesday night’s win over the Texas Rangers stretched the Tigers win streak in five in a row. It also highlighted the near complete brand of baseball the club is playing these days. Quality at-bat after quality at-bat, speed on the bases, solid starting pitching, improved defense, timely power and dominant relief work. All of it
Well, it’s safe to say nobody saw this coming. It’s officially late-July and the Detroit Tigers are, while not exactly contending for an American League Wild Card slot, they are actually playing competitive baseball into the MLB trade deadline. This is a far cry from where the Tigers were expected to be heading into the…
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana – The Toledo Mud Hens put on an offensive clinic in an 11-5 win over the Indianapolis Indians on Wednesday afternoon at Victory Field. Similarly to last night, the Hens scored in the first to jump out to an early lead. On a 3-2 fastball, Jacob Robson pulled his hands in nicely and
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps saw their newest member deliver a massive swing in a 5-1 victory over the Lansing Lugnuts Wednesday afternoon at LMCU Ballpark. University of Michigan product and College World Series hero Jimmy Kerr blasted his first high-a home run as he finished 1-for-3 with a run scored and
Even an All-Star break couldn’t stop some of the best rookies in the game. Covering the period of July 7-20, the latest Rookie Hot List has a strong mix of big names and pop-up players making the most of their recent experiences at the game’s top level. Jonathan India (Reds) and Luis Garcia (Astros) solidified
Detroit — Sometimes growth in a young player is overt. It’s recognizable, plain as day, from the performance numbers. Rookie Akil Baddoo’s growth, for example, from where he was in May to where he is now — you don’t need a degree in sabermetrics to see it. Overt. Other times, though, it’s more covert, parts of it
When Bassie Shemtov and her husband founded Friendship Circle in 1994, they never could’ve dreamt that it would have blossomed into what it is today. It all started with a desire for outreach and to help others in the metro Detroit community. It quickly became evident that individuals with disabilities needed the platform to create
Indianapolis Indians 12, Toledo Mud Hens 11 (F/10)(box) Toledo and Indy locked up in a big time slugfest on Tuesday, but it was ultimately the bad guys who walked in off in 10 innings. Ricardo Pinto started for the Hens and was lit up for eight runs in just two innings of work. This after
Casey Mize was dealing. Then he was fuming. Well, at least not outwardly fuming, but he’s a competitor, and he wanted to keep pitching, and when he walked to the Detroit Tigers dugout after blanking the Texas Rangers the first four innings Monday night at Comerica Park, he tried his best to avoid his manager. AJ
Detroit – Rolling, rolling, rolling. The Tigers, after a two-hour, 10-minue rain delay, rode a pair of solo home runs and another stout performance from rookie left-hander Tarik Skubal to a 4-1 win over the Texas Rangers Tuesday night at Comerica Park. It was their fifth straight win coming out of the All-Star break. And the
