What a weekend. Twenty four year old Collin Morikawa won the British Open in his first ever appearance, the hip-hop world lost a legend in Biz Markie, and, oh yeah, the Tigers — despite a pitching staff being held together by craft glue and duck tape — swept the Twins. That last one was fun.
In yesterday’s victory over the Minnesota Twins yesterday afternoon to complete the sweep, there were a few highlights that the Detroit Tigers did to make this possible. Let’s start with Derek Hill’s steal in the 3rd inning. He would later score on a Miguel Cabrera single that made the game at that point 2 to…
So, when, exactly, do we start worrying about the Detroit Tigers’ rotation? Remember the Opening Day rotation? Matthew Boyd, followed by Julio Teheran (remember him?), Tarik Skubal, Jose Urena and Casey Mize, with Spencer Turnbull on the way and Michael Fulmer waiting in middle relief in case a spot opened up. It wasn’t quite the
Toledo Mud Hens 3, Iowa Cubs 0 (box) The Hens jumped out to an early lead and the pitching staff did the rest to take the series four games to two. Willi Castro, playing shortstop and leading off, opened the game with a solo shot to right field. Renato Nuñez followed him with a triple
Phil Coke, the former Detroit Tigers reliever, pumped his fists and banged the divider in a suite at Comerica Park. “LET’S GO!” he screamed in the eighth inning of Saturday’s second game of a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins. Coke waved his arms, trying to wake up Tigers fans, urging them to get on their
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The Fort Wayne TinCaps exploded on offense, riding a six-run fifth inning to a 9-2 win over the West Michigan Whitecaps on Sunday evening at LMCU Ballpark. Whitecaps starting pitcher Brendan White retired the first 13 TinCaps hitters in order before Fort Wayne collected six tallies in the fifth to steal
One of those six position bats the Tigers grabbed 13 months ago in the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft was a fifth-round pick assorted analysts thought might be a coup: Colt Keith of Biloxi (Mississippi) High. Keith was a 6-foot-3, 200-pound, left-handed stick who looked as if he could play a variety of infield spots,
Toledo, Ohio – The Mud Hens secured a series victory over the Iowa Cubs this evening by a score of 3-0. The game was highlighted by great pitching for Toledo with starter Mark Leiter Jr. leading the charge. Leiter Jr.’s start was one of his best of the season, posting a final line of 5.0
The SeaWolves split a doubleheader with the Bowie Baysox on Sunday, closing their week against the Baltimore affiliate with only two wins.

Tyler Alexander laughed as he described himself as a “utility relief pitcher” for the Detroit Tigers in 2021. He doesn’t pitch in high leverage situations, but he isn’t an arm manager AJ Hinch is willing to waste in the late innings of a blowout. Hinch offered a more appropriate title: “Unheralded hero.” “He doesn’t get a lot of love all

What the Detroit Tigers accomplished in the third inning demonstrated exactly how manager AJ Hinch wants to make opposing teams uncomfortable. The high-risk, high-reward style of play is the team’s formula for winning in 2021. Jake Rogers opened the frame with a double down the right-field line. He advanced to third base, thanks to Derek Hill’s

DETROIT — The Tigers opened Comerica Park 21 years ago with the idea of bringing speed and athleticism back into the game. As they head towards the stretch run of their 2021 season, they arguably have their best team to take advantage of it. A week after the Twins swept the Tigers at Target Field
