Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis do an admirable job covering the entirety of the minor leagues. I know from first-hand experience it can be tough to cover one team to the fullest extent, let alone 30. Recently, MLB.com published their updated version of the Detroit Tigers top 30, complete with the new international signees and…
Some of us were there for the whole, inconceivable show in 1976. We watched that Saturday afternoon in May when he debuted as a starter and when something akin to baseball’s version of nuclear fission occurred on a baseball mound at Tiger Stadium. We saw the story build and grow in fury and fascination. Joined
The baseball programs at the University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University announced Thursday that they will play at Fifth Third Field, home of the Toledo Mud Hens, on Friday, May 14 at 7 p.m. The contest is the first in a planned annual game between the Rockets and The baseball programs at the
Bryan Garcia inherited the bases loaded and no outs in the ninth inning. Controlling a three-run lead, the Detroit Tigers initially turned to right-hander Jose Cisnero. He gave up two walks and a single. Manager AJ Hinch called on Garcia, who ended last season as the team’s closer, to dust off the Houston Astros —
Well, well, well, within a span of three days we certainly pinballed from misery to exuberance with our Detroit Tigers. Those were some fun games in Houston. The team got great starting pitching, mashed the baseball, saw a little batted ball luck go their way, and the bullpen…hung on. Now the Tigers wing west to
By TC Zencka | April 14, 2021 at 10:00pm CDT Carlos Rodon was perfect through 8 1/3 innings tonight against the Indians. A backfoot slider skipped off the top of Roberto Perez’s right foot, ending his bid for a perfect game. Rodon managed to complete the no hitter, however, with a masterful 114-pitch complete game

Detroit Tigers outfielder Nomar Mazara departed from Wednesday’s game against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park with a left abdominal strain. The timetable for Mazara’s return is unclear. “Right now, it’s day-to-day,” manager AJ Hinch said after the game. “I don’t have a ton of information on it. I generally have high concern when
In 1997, Major League Baseball honored Jackie Robinson by making his No. 42 the first uniform number to be retired across the sport. That said, players who were wearing No. 42 at the time were grandfathered in, meaning they could choose to continue wearing it until they retired. Thus, some teams have had a player
For three games at Minute Maid Park, the Detroit Tigers looked like a different team — and a much better team. After getting swept by Cleveland and falling into a four-game losing streak, manager AJ Hinch asked his players to respond. They most definitely got his message. The Tigers (6-6) swept the Houston Astros on

Wednesday was nearly a perfect night to be a White Sox fan. While Carlos Rodón fell just short of perfection, he still made history with his 114-pitch (75 strikes) no-hitter in a 8-0 win over the Indians. Rodón was obviously the story of the night — not only in Chicago, but across all of baseball
Detroit has completed their bounce-back from a miserable series versus Cleveland by sweeping the Astros in their own ballpark. Tigers win, 6-4. A Pair of Three-Run Innings Two three-run innings put Detroit over the edge in this one. The Tigers second-inning rally began with Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. hitting Renato Núñez to open the
HOUSTON — The last time Michael Fulmer won a game, he beat a Minnesota Twins lineup that had his current teammate Robbie Grossman in it. That was three years — and two surgeries — ago. The last time the Tigers scored six runs in three consecutive road games, they were making a late-season charge to
A version of this story was originally published in April 2020. DETROIT — Branch Rickey will forever be known as the Dodgers general manager who brought Jackie Robinson and integration to the Major Leagues.

Houston — Numbers don’t necessarily lie, but they can misdirect you from the truth sometimes. The metrics from Tarik Skubal’s last start against the Indians were somewhat alarming, as was his performance. The average velocity on his fastball, which stayed in the 95-96 mph range last year and through spring training dropped to 93.5 and the
