The splitter from Detroit Tigers rookie Casey Mize looked perfect, but Yoan Moncada extended his hitting streak to seven games by slapping the first-inning pitch beyond the left-field wall for a 358-foot home run.

A 442-foot Tork Bomb to the shrubs in straightaway center field? Sounds like a preview of things to come when Spencer Torkelson eventually gets to Comerica Park, but it was actually his Thursday night performance for High-A West Michigan. His fourth professional home run was a tape-measure drive to the trees beyond center at Dow

Chicago — Nothing against his teammates in Toledo, but Derek Hill would just as soon not see them for a while. “The boys down there are doing unbelievable,” he said. “It’s a fun team to be on. But I can’t wait to be on this one.” For the second time this season, the Tigers have

So far this year, Detroit Tigers’ minor leaguer Beau Brieske’s name has popped up with a few stellar performances.

Pitchers taken that late have to work
The Detroit Tigers notched a winning record in the month of May, which has been a difficult achievement during the rebuild.
