A big 3-for-4 day from Jeimer Candelario helped the Tigers to a 5-2 win over the Cleveland ballclub. He takes some time post game to catch up with papi himself, Johnny Kane. #DetroitRoots
Two appearances into spring training games, Detroit Tigers left-hander Derek Holland — a non-roster invitee on a minor-league contract — was positive he would make the Opening Day roster. He felt confident and took a chance on his instincts. Next, two important purchases were made. Holland, 34, already utilized his old WWE tag-team championship belts for golf tournaments
Nothing explosive happened in this one. Instead, the Tigers executed well when needed, putting together tough at-bat after tough at-bat against Cleveland pitching. Meanwhile, starter Julio Teheran and the rebuilt Tigers bullpen were up to the task as they led the club to a 5-2 win on a nice Saturday afternoon at Comerica Park. Tigers
Detroit – Here’s a sentence you haven’t heard much in recent years. The Tigers have won two straight over the Cleveland Indians. After beating the reigning American League Cy Young winner Shane Bieber 3-2 on Opening Day, they broke open a close game with a three-run seventh inning in a 5-2 win Saturday. For six innings,

DETROIT — If the Tigers can put together a productive lineup to go with their talented young pitching and surprise people this season, they’ll have the Indians and their former All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor partly to thank. For now, they can thank a long-ago deal in part for Detroit’s first 2-0 start in five years.
Detroit — It’s enough to make a player wistful, nostalgic even. Derek Holland, once upon a time, could ring a radar gun — 95 mph, 96, occasionally bump it to 97. And even now at age 34, he can still bring it in pretty firm (94-95 mph in his shorter bullpen stints). Which he can
On today’s Tigers LIVE, Johnny Kane catches up with Ellen Hill Zeringue, Tigers VP of marketing, about how the team will honor the late Al Kaline. #DetroitRoots
DETROIT — The first hint that something was different in the Tigers clubhouse this year came when Matthew Boyd hauled a wrestling belt into his Zoom interview after his Opening Day win over the Indians. “Well, Derek Holland’s an awesome guy,” Boyd said as he held up a Macho Man Randy Savage belt, “and he
John Keating and Craig Monroe are here for the Tigers’ second game of the season. Miguel Cabrera is closing in on some big milestones and Johnny Kane talks with Ellen Hill Zeringue, Tigers VP of marketing, about how the team will honor the late Al Kaline. #DetroitRoots
Detroit – The tradition of bestowing championship belts on teammates in this city goes back to Rasheed Wallace, who adorned his teammates with boxing-wrestling styled belts after the Pistons won the NBA title in 2004. It was cool then and it’s cool now, as Tigers reliever Derek Holland showed on Thursday when he broke out
After the Detroit Tigers secured a 3-2 win Thursday against the Cleveland Indians for Opening Day, members of the traveling party — these people are considered “Tier 1 Individuals” — walked into the clubhouse to celebrate with a COVID-19 vaccine. A “majority” of the team’s players, coaches and trainers accepted the Johnson & Johnson one-shot vaccine through
The Detroit Tigers got off to a great start to their 2021 season on Thursday when they snuck by the Cleveland Indians in a snowy Comerica Park, 3-2, on Major League Baseball’s opening day. Miguel Cabrera gave the fans a brief glimpse of what he is capable of with his two-run opposite shot to pace
DETROIT — Six of the prospects on the Tigers’ Top 30 list will spend April at Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio, while it serves as the club’s alternate training site for baseball’s opening month.

Ronald Blum | Associated Press New York — Major League Baseball has moved the All-Star Game from Atlanta’s Truist Park, a response Friday to Georgia enacting a new law last month restricting voting rights. MLB had awarded the game to Atlanta on May 29, 2019, and the game was scheduled for July 13 as part of baseball’s
Detroit — Matthew Boyd is a hockey player. He grew up in the rain and chill of the Pacific Northwest. So, of course, he was out there pitching in a mini-blizzard on Opening Day with no long sleeves under his jersey. “I never wore them on the mound growing up,” Boyd shrugged after pitching 5.2
Howard Fendrich | Associated Press Washington — The entire season-opening three-game series between the Washington Nationals and New York Mets was called off on Friday after three players for the 2019 World Series champions tested positive for COVID-19. The Nationals announced the postponement of games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Nationals Park, saying the decision
Yesterday, I, along with fellow contributor Michael Sicillia headed down to Comerica Park to watch the Detroit Tigers home opener. This was the first time I went to the game as a season ticket holder and thanks to Mike, I took advantage of the deal the Tigers were offering.
Hear the sizzle of hot dogs on the grill, the pop of the mitt on Matthew Boyd’s first pitch, and the roar of the crowd when Miguel Cabrera’s goes deep amidst the snowfall. It’s a special Opening Day edition of “Sights & Sounds.”
Detroit — For the month of April, there is one player pool the Tigers can dip into for roster reinforcements, and that is the alternate site in Toledo. The Tigers on Friday released the alternate site roster, which will largely comprise the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens club when their season begins in May. Among the pitchers
