The offense struggles of the Detroit Tigers have been well documented in the last week. While it was good to see the offense score more than two runs for the first time last night since the series opener in Oakland, there are some major cracks in the offense Detroit still needs to fix.
DETROIT — The splitter has been Casey Mize’s marquee pitch since he became a star at Auburn, where it was a strikeout pitch for him. While Mize’s jump in fastball velocity has been an important part of his encouraging start — ranking him in the 87th percentile among Major League pitchers entering his start Friday
Fans got defensive when the Detroit Tigers farm system was categorized by national folks as “top-heavy,” referencing the lack of big-league potential beyond the big five in the system: Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, Matt Manning, Riley Greene, and Spencer Torkelson. After a flurry of top-five finishes in the farm system power rankings by several national…
To the casual observer, “transition” can be a four-letter word in farm-system circles. It usually indicates that an organization needs to pull a 180-degree turn and start adding as much Minor League talent as it can, often at the cost of good players on the Major League roster. Let’s get this out of the way:
The Detroit Tigers are off to one of the more inconsistent starts in recent memory; promptly getting swept by the Oakland Athletics after sweeping the Houston Astros in Houston on their most recent road trip. This teeter-totter start has many wondering which is the real Detroit Tigers team–but more likely, we can expect to see…
The last two years haven’t been easy for Detroit Tigers infielder Zack Short. At last, he achieved one of his lifelong goals by making his MLB debut Wednesday. The last month hasn’t been simple for right-hander Spencer Turnbull, either. Turnbull tested positive for COVID-19, missed the beginning of the campaign and finally made his anticipated season debut

The Tigers offense got a power boost in the form of home runs from Niko Goodrum and Jonathan Schoop in a 5-2 win over the Pirates in Game 2 of their doubleheader. Spencer Turnbull turned in a strong 5 innings in his first start of the season. And Akil Baddoo knocked in his team-leading 12th
Jack Leiter unquestionably has been the most dominant college player in the first two months of the season. If he’s not the most famous prospect in the 2021 Draft, then he’s a very close second to fellow Vanderbilt right-hander Kumar Rocker. Will Leiter go No. 1 overall to the Pirates when they make that selection
After a disappointing Wednesday afternoon, the Detroit Tigers rebounded in the night cap of the double header to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2. Spencer Turnbull was activated off the injured list to make his first start of the season, and boy was it a promising outing. And although it wasn’t a world-altering performance out of
Detroit – On a chilly, 42-degree night, after losing 10 pounds and more than two weeks to the COVID-19 virus, Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull needed just one inning to shake off the rust in his 2021 debut. Turnbull, who got put in COVID-19 protocol after his last spring training start on March 10, gave up
DETROIT — One day after Spencer Turnbull joked that he was getting Opening Day weather for his delayed season debut, the Tigers right-hander delivered a performance worthy of a season-opening assignment. In the process, he helped the Tigers salvage a doubleheader split against the Pirates and end a five-game losing streak with a 5-2 win.
Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull took the mound for the first time this season — after a positive COVID-19 test in spring training — and looked electric in his return to the starting rotation. Turnbull guided the Tigers (7-11) to a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 2 of Wednesday’s seven-inning doubleheader at Comerica Park. The 28-year-old
The Tigers are offering at least two sections of $10 tickets for every home game this season, except for the one obvious game they didn’t, Opening Day. But those cheap seats are in small supply and apparently high demand, fans are finding out. For the three games against the Chicago Cubs and the three against

The snow eventually melted, except for some cool-looking whitecaps on the shrubs in straightaway center field. But the Tigers’ bats remained on ice. The Tigers managed just three hits against soft-tossing left-hander Tyler Anderson, and the Pittsburgh Pirates held on for a 3-2, seven-inning victory in the opener of a doubleheader Wednesday at Comerica Park.
There was no deer-in-the-headlights look from Tigers rookie infielder Zack Short. And that’s a good thing. His parents already had seen enough of that, hitting a deer on their way to the airport in upstate New York ahead of their flight to Detroit to see Zack make his major-league debut in the first game of a doubleheader
