By Noah Trister | Associated Press Detroit — Gio Urshela of the New York Yankees was the beneficiary of a mix-up over the count Friday night, drawing a walk after only three balls. Urshela came to the plate in the sixth inning against Detroit. After he fouled off several 2-2 pitches, the next offering from Kyle
The series opener between the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees featured a significant pitching matchup: Rookie Casey Mize — a former No. 1 overall pick evolving into a future top starter — squared off against 30-year-old Gerrit Cole, an established ace (and former No. 1 overall pick himself) seeking his first Cy Young award.
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – Catcher Dillon Dingler pounded a two-run home run as the West Michigan Whitecaps rode a dominant performance from their pitching staff to a 2-1 victory over the Lake County Captains Friday night at LMCU Ballpark.

The first game of a three-game set with the Yankees in Detroit came down to extra innings and a heroic, full-count, two-out, down-by-one home run by Robbie Grossman to win the game for the Tigers, 3-2. That… was… magnificent. Just magnificent. I’ll take a game like this any day of the week. Baseball is a
Grossman’s first career walk-off homer came after the Yankees went ahead in the top of the 10th on a wild pitch and gave the Tigers their 20th win of the season. Grossman’s bat flip was a result of not only the Tigers walking away with a win, but also sending the ball 366 feet to

José Ureña‘s start against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday ended a lot sooner than he and the Detroit Tigers expected. With two outs in the top of the sixth inning, the 29-year-old was removed from the game after he made one pitch to Eddie Rosario, ending a strong start in which the right-hander tossed 5

Detroit — Tigers manager AJ Hinch rarely, if ever, has to coax or cajole his players to play. He does occasionally, however, have to fight with them to take a game off. He had two such conversations before the game Friday — one with outfielder Victor Reyes and the other with starting pitcher Jose Urena. Reyes was supposed
If Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch had to decide right now, he would skip Jose Urena’s next start — scheduled for Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers — because of lower right forearm cramping. Urena, 29, was removed from Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Cleveland with two outs in the sixth inning. He threw 82 pitches but started dealing with pain
Detroit — Baseball people have forever argued about the pros and cons of developing young players at the major-league level, as opposed giving them extended time in Triple-A. You kind of get the feeling this current edition of Tigers baseball is a clinical study on that topic. Whether it’s Rule 5 rookie Akil Baddoo playing
Due to my ineptitude to set Google reminders for tasks this week, I dropped the ball on writing the preview for Friday’s game between the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees earlier in the day, so this is going to be rather abbreviated… So you’ve got the Yankees coming to Detroit for a three-game series
Spencer Turnbull threw the eighth no-hitter in Detroit Tigers history on May 18, 2021. Eric Haase was his catcher that evening in Seattle. Turnbull became the sixth Detroiter to twirl a no-no, while Haase became the eighth different Tiger to catch one. They were the latest pair of battery mates to travel down a path…
The Detroit Tigers entertain the New York Yankees this Memorial Day weekend after a series of games in the AL Central. These two teams have had not only a recent post-season history against each other but an extensive trade history/rumors that goes back to 30 years ago.
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch recently was quoted in an interview regarding infielder Willi Castro, stating he has a ‘long leash to figure things out,’ in an article published by the Detroit Free Press. So far, the results for Castro have been abysmal, as he has slashed .193/.250/.303 across 156 plate appearances (39 games) in…
The Tigers’ season hasn’t been much to look at, in fact, you’re probably well-advised to avert your eyes instead. The roster has been reshuffled a few times and the offense has caught on as of late, but there’s no hiding the fact that the team is in shambles and still isn’t much better than their
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps weathered the storms literally and figuratively in collecting a 6-2 victory over the Lake County Captains in front a 2,500-fan sellout Thursday night at LMCU Ballpark. The Whitecaps collected 12 hits — six times their amount in their Wednesday win – as Dillon Dingler, Rey Rivera, Eliezer
