The Detroit Tigers opened their season on Thursday with a banger. The San Diego Padres never stood a chance, as the Tigers jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first inning thanks to a phenomenal debut from 21-year-old slugger Kevin McGonigle. Detroit would walk away with a decisive 8-2 win, kicking […]
After the San Diego Padres dropped Opening Day against the Detroit Tigers, 8-2, they’re not off to nearly as auspicious a start as the 2025 season, to say the least. There’s plenty to be excited about: Xander Bogaerts’ two hits off Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, Ramón Laureano’s home run, the bullpen (more or less) locking […]
San Diego Padres pitcher Nick Pivetta made his first Opening Day start of his career when the Padres hosted the Detroit Tigers at Petco Park to open the 2026 season. The start did not go the way Pivetta or his new manager Craig Stammen would have hoped as Pivetta was tagged for six runs on […]
The 2026 campaign opened with a bang for the Detroit Tigers, who slugged their way to an 8-2 victory on Thursday afternoon inside Petco Park behind a breakout effort from Kevin McGoinigle in his MLB debut. The Motor City Kitties now have a chance to clinch a series win over the Pads with their biggest […]
It already feels like I’ve written a short book on Kevin McGonigle since the 2025 season came to an end. Baseball’s consensus second ranked prospect entered major league camp knowing he already had the skills to make the Opening Day roster. Six weeks of excellent performance this spring under pressure to prove himself made it […]
Happy Friday, everyone. In case you missed it, the Tigers had one heck of an Opening Day against the Padres, with rookie phenom Kevin McGongile having an absolutely tremendous debut. The Tigers collected their first win of the season, and it’s a great way to kick things off. Plenty of fun little tidbits from around […]

The Tigers started the 2025 season against some of the hardest National League opponents in the game with the Dodgers. Today they did it again, squaring off against Nick […]

The Detroit Tigers open up their 2026 campaign on Thursday in San Diego against the Padres, and the excitement for the team’s opening day can be felt from Lakeland all the way to the Motor City. AJ Hinch’s roster looks like a beefed-up version of last year’s — one that started hot, bringing the best […]

Max Clark was never going to make the Opening Day roster, and no doubt wasn’t thrilled with some of his work in spring camp, but none of that matters now. The precocious 21-year-old center fielder broke out in a big way in 2025, and is well ahead of pace to reach the major leagues. It […]
The Detroit Tigers have generally maintained a policy of not playing any of their prep draft picks until the following year, and so the Spring Breakout games each spring have become a sort of coming out party for the next wave of prospects each March. This year we saw Jordan Yost, Michael Oliveto, and Cris […]
The Detroit Tigers open up their 2026 campaign on Thursday afternoon on the West Coast against a National League opponent for the second-straight year, looking to make it to the playoffs for a third-straight season. This summer’s edition of the Olde English D has a bit more beef to it than that of last year’s, especially with […]
Switch-hitting outfielder Wenceel Pérez entered camp this spring needing to make a strong case for an Opening Day outfield slot. He failed to do so, putting up ugly numbers all spring. Yet even in the final game of spring camp, he launched a pair of home runs, including one at 108.5 mph, illustrating why he […]

Opening Day is almost here! To wrap up spring training, the Rockies will face off against the Detroit Tigers for the second straight […]
The Detroit Tigers made the decision everyone was waiting for all spring, announcing on Tuesday that top prospect, infielder Kevin McGonigle, has made the Opening Day roster. The 21-year-old McGonigle hit a pair of homers in Grapefruit League play, and another tape measure shot off Athetlics’ starter Luis Severino in an exhibition tune-up for Team […]

It’s official. Nick Pivetta will start for the San Diego Padres this Thursday. They’ll put up their best fight on Opening Day against fearsome lefty Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers as they seek to return to the postseason for the third year in a row. Pivetta will be the fourth starting pitcher in as […]
