Latest news and updates about the Tigers
Well, you felt good about a sweep going in. All you had to do was best the Tigers bullpen, and after overcoming a 3-0 deficit to tie it after 4 innings, the Royals looked primed to sweep their divisional foe. However, Gage Workman, who literally got recalled this afternoon from AAA hit his first career […]
The younger Detroit Tigers powered them to victory on Sunday, snapping a five-game skid. Gage Workman launched his first major league homer after being called up for Kerry Carpenter earlier in the day. Hao-Yu Lee and Wenceel Pérez had big RBI knocks, as did Matt Vierling, and the bullpen was pretty good overall filling in […]
No delays, no problems. Missouri baseball ran the gauntlet on Sunday afternoon in its 4-1 victory over Vanderbilt at Taylor Stadium. In the final home game at Taylor Stadium, six arms pitched for the Tigers and guided them their first SEC home victory since Apr. 6 2024 against the then- No.4 ranked Florida Gators. It […]

The Kansas City Royals have already clinched a series win and a winning homestand after taking the first two contests against the Detroit Tigers. A thrilling comeback and walk-off on Friday and a dominant Michael Wacha outing last night have propelled the Royals back to 19-21 on the season. If the season ended today, the […]
You’ve probably heard the story by now, in the fact that what was first appearing to be a seamless Vanderbilt victory on Friday night turned into possibly the most chaotic Southeastern Conference baseball game of the 2026 season in the span of two half innings. Down 6-1, Mizzou baseball fought its way back from a […]
Make it five straight losses for the Detroit Tigers after their 5-1 loss on Saturday night to the Kansas City Royals. Burch Smith’s two runs surrendered in just 1/3 of an inning as the opener was too much for the wet-noodle offense to overcome and… sigh… AJ Hinch’s squad is in danger of its second-straight […]
After their walk-off victory marked the longest Southeastern Conference game of the season, Missouri baseball couldn’t continue to extend its SEC quota over the weekend. The Tigers couldn’t claim game two of the three-game set, and their 11-8 loss against Vanderbilt in eleven innings meant Missouri was unable to snap a long-standing streak: their first […]
Once again, the Detroit Tigers did not swing the bats well in this one. The makeshift pitching combination didn’t actually do that badly, but they aren’t scoring any runs, and they watched another player go down with a potential injury as Kerry Carpenter left the game after crashing into the wall on a play in […]

One of my favorite things that happens on Royals Review is Suff76’s Path to 90 wins. Now that we’re at the quarter-point of the season, I wanted to check in on that. If the Royals were following that path, they’d have been 19-19 entering this series, and would want to be 21-20 exiting it. Instead, […]
4pm CT on SECN+. If ever you questioned the baseball gods, last night’s game taught us what happens when they let Cthulu sub in for Jobu for a day. To start, rain kept postponing the opening pitch. Then, Corbs kept The Spice in (as he should have done last week) for 7 IP of 5 […]
As discourse in baseball touches on how the Tigers will fare in the absence of Tarik Skubal, the reigning back-to-back champs take the field with Blake Snell on the mound for the first time in 2026—they do so, having managed his absence about as well as anyone could’ve hoped for, particularly given the outstanding efforts […]
We have reached the magical 40-game mark of the season, the point at which one should have a good idea of what a major league team is made of. However, with the plague of injuries that the Detroit Tigers have sustained so far, it is still pretty difficult to get a clear view of what […]
Royals broadcast Ryan LeFebvre has a handful of topics he likes to bring up as often as he can. Leadoff walks late in the game, pitchers catching popups, whether a catcher has an advantage when facing a pitcher he’s caught before. But one of the things he brings up a lot that I actually kind […]
After a nice Thursday off day, the Tigers are in Kansas City hoping to get some games back in the AL Central and push their way back towards first. The AL Central is an extremely tight race at the moment, so every game really does count, even this early in the year. The Tigers had […]

I know the Guardians series didn’t end how any of us wanted it to, but the Royals still split a four-game series against a tough team. That’s a win. Especially if the Royals can win the series starting tonight, against the Tigers. By all rights, the Tigers should be in a bit of freefall right […]
The Tigers come to Kansas City this weekend, giving the Royals an opportunity to vault ahead of them in the mediocre Central Division. Detroit was considered by many to be the favorites to win the division title, but have had an up-and-down start and have dropped six of their last nine. The Tigers’ rotation was […]
The Detroit Tigers kick off a six-game road trip on Friday with a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Coming off a rough homestand that saw the team drop four of six — including a three-game sweep at the hands of the Boston Red Sox — maybe a little time away […]
I had a feeling this game wasn’t going to go the Sox way before it even started. To be fair, that isn’t saying much— most games haven’t gone the Sox way this year! But I knew the vibes would be off as soon as this came across the timeline shortly before the game started: Garrett […]
This is what everyone expected at the start of the season. Solid pitching. Good defense. Runs on offense. The Sox head home after their first sweep of 2026, taking all three games from the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers are now under .500 at 18-20, barely better than the disaster of a start 16-21 Red Sox. […]
The Detroit Tigers had one goal in mind on Wednesday evening: salvage one win from a three-game home series against the Boston Red Sox. It wasn’t meant to be, though, as the Crimson Hosiery completed the sweep with a 4-0 shutout victory. Making the start for the Tigers tonight was Jack Flaherty, whose troubles have […]
The Red Sox look like a totally different team the last few days, or at least the one playing with real momentum. The Tigers certainly didn’t amid a .500 start and the loss of Tarik Skubal for two to three months. The latest victory showed progress in all areas of the game for the Red […]
Here’s a bit of news you did not want to hear: And here’s how that injury happened: So. This very likely ends Boyd’s season. For now I’d guess Javier Assad will take that rotation spot and that Jed Hoyer will accelerate a search to trade for a starter. Obviously, more to come as this is […]
