After a four-game winning streak, the Detroit Tigers no longer carry the weight of the worst record in baseball. That mark belongs to the Minnesota Twins, projected by many in spring training to win the American League Central. But Tigers (13-25) have the second-worst record after 38 games. The offense is inconsistent, the starting rotation is

Detroit — Harold Castro was, for much of Saturday’s Detroit Tigers game against the Chicago Cubs, a study in baseball frustration. In the third inning he hit a bullet, 98.6 mph off the bat that Statcast showed had an expected batting average of .520. That ball died in the glove of right fielder Jason Heyward. Then he
Harold Castro may have struck out three straight times heading into his 10th inning at bat, but all negative energy was quickly erased with a sharp single to left field, scoring a sprinting JaCoby Jones from 2nd base in a dramatic win over the Cubs. Plus, Miguel Cabrera came through with his own clutch single

The final blow came from the Tigers in the bottom of the 10th inning. (In extras, a runner starts the inning on second base.) After the Cubs took
Some wins are about finesse, clutch hits and standout performances. And then there are the “grit” wins — ones that taste extra sweet looking back after a hard fight. Harold Castro provided the knockout punch with a single to left field that sent JaCoby Jones careening around the bases and into a headfirst slide into
Erie’s winning streak was halted at three games on Saturday afternoon at UPMC Park when the Akron RubberDucks jumped out to an early lead, eventually winning 9-2.

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario exited Saturday’s game against the Chicago Cubs with a left knee contusion.

Kyle Funkhouser remembers exactly how he felt after learning he’d been optioned to Triple-A Toledo at the end of Spring Training. Not happy. Sour. Like he’d been smacked in the mouth a little bit. But then came the fight response: The Tigers righty wasn’t going to spend a day longer in the Minors than he
Detroit — To paraphrase James Baldwin: There’s nothing more dangerous than a man who has nothing to lose. Tigers right-hander Kyle Funkhouser is feeling a little bit like that these days. After getting his teeth kicked in last season (14 runs in 17 innings) and being unceremoniously optioned back to Triple-A this spring — if
Well Tigers fans, the winning was fun while it lasted. On Friday night, the Chicago Cubs came to town and took the first of a three-game weekend series, 4-2, to snap the Detroit Tigers’ four-game winning streak. It was not a bad loss — Cubs starter Jake Arrieta, while not quite the pitcher he used
When the Detroit Tigers drafted Spencer Torkelson with their first overall pick in 2020, the reaction was a near-unanimously positive one. He’s a transcendently talented hitter, with refined poise and patience to pair with his smooth stroke and impressive power. He brings the thunder in a way no other Tigers prospect can. For all the
