Schuyler Dixon | Associated Press Arlington, Texas — Susanna Frare said her family decided to take a “calculated risk” attending the home opener of the Texas Rangers, the first major U.S. pro sports event to approach capacity in a stadium since the coronavirus shutdown more than a year ago. The crowd of 38,238 at Globe Life
Editor’s note: This is the sixth in a weekly series of stories in which Detroit News freelance writer Lynn Henning will rank the top prospects in July’s MLB Draft. Just ask the Tigers about their long-haul prospect at catcher, Dillon Dingler. They like him. A lot. Ohio State pedigree. So much athleticism he has played
Detroit — It was this kind of day for the Tigers on Monday: Utility player Harold Castro pitched the ninth inning. And it was one of the cleanest innings of the game. “I told him that was the quickest inning of the game today,” said Wilson Ramos, who ended up catching 215 pitches and only 113
Detroit Tigers bench coach George Lombard was sent by manager AJ Hinch to deliver the news toward the end of Monday’s 15-6 beatdown by the Minnesota Twins at Comerica Park. Utility player Harold Castro was needed. Castro, 27, has competed at seven of nine positions in his four-year MLB career, but he added pitcher to his
DETROIT — To say Akil Baddoo haunted his old team with a grand slam might be a dramatization given the Tigers’ 15-6 loss to the Twins on Monday at Comerica Park. Still, Detroit’s young outfielder continues to impress. On a day when Nelson Cruz homered twice, starter José Ureña threw just 39 of 81 pitches
With the bases loaded in the second inning, Minnesota Twins slugger Nelson Cruz assumed he hit his 10th career grand slam. Right-hander Jose Urena, starting for the Detroit Tigers, left a 94.3 mph fastball down the middle. An umpire review determined the baseball went just foul of the right-field pole. On the next pitch, the 40-year-old

The opener of a three-game series with the Twins was delayed by an hour due to rain but, rather poetically, as the first pitch was being thrown, the sun poked through the clouds. A rainout wouldn’t have been so bad today, as Nelson Cruz and the Twins trounced the Tigers, 15-6. Of note: Akil Baddoo’s
Detroit — Manager AJ Hinch saw Casey Mize in the clubhouse on Sunday. “I was thinking about something,” Hinch told him. “You’re going to be the last player on the roster to play.” Mize, who recalled the story Monday morning with a chuckle, just looked down and said, “I don’t know how I feel about that,
DETROIT — Casey Mize made his Major League debut on Aug. 19, 2020, and he finished with seven starts that season. Yet, pitching in front of fans at Comerica Park for the first time on Tuesday might well feel like his debut. Mize has taken in the atmosphere for four games. Now, it’s his turn.
The Detroit Tigers have had their share of glove-first players. Ed Brickman, Aurelio Rodríguez, and Adam Everett are some of the names I was discussing with a few of our fellow contributors. And we can safely assume Niko Goodrum is in this category now.
Detroit Tigers fans were treated to an excellent opening weekend. The team took their series against a division rival, and they did it by beating two of the better pitchers in the American League, including last year’s unanimous Cy Young winner.

The Tigers are riding high off their first series win of the season and some unexpectedly delightful performances from their staff. As they invite another division rival club, the Minnesota Twins, into town, we wanted to know what to expect from the Twins. TJ Gorsegner, site manager of the SB Nation Twins blog Twinkie Town,
