Obviously the Detroit Tigers badly need offensive help to return off the injury list. The pitching staff now has Will Vest and Troy Melton back, and Tarik Skubal threw a successful 39 pitch live BP session on Tuesday.

The Detroit Tigers got a much-needed breather on Memorial Day after playing 13 straight games, winning just twice in that span. The good news is that they finished the stretch with a 4-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday behind Troy Melton’s first start of the 2026 campaign. AJ Hinch and Co. will look […]
The first series of the Orioles’ season-longest 10-game homestand went reasonably well. The O’s took advantage of a reeling Tigers team to take two out of three games, though let’s not try to think about the fact that they were one strike away from losing the series. Now the task gets much tougher with a […]
We have reached the point in the 2026 MLB season when the debate between body of work versus recent performance starts to take center stage.
Good morning, Camden Chatters. If you’re an optimistic Orioles fan, you can find things to like about the Birds’ doubleheader split against the Tigers yesterday.

The Orioles were unable to complete the double-header sweep on Sunday evening at Camden Yards, losing 4-1 to the Tigers in Game 2.

After yet another gut-wrenching loss in the first of two on Sunday, the Detroit Tigers and their fans really needed a win.

Patterson missed nearly two months this spring with an injury, sidelined from March 14 through May 9. He returned for the final three SEC regular‑season […]
Tarik Skubal is working his back from a minor surgical procedure on his elbow in record time. The two-time defending Cy Young award winner will be back in plenty of time to show he's fully recovered well ahead of the trade deadline in mid-summer. With the Tigers tanking to near the bottom of the majors this season, holding the third-worst record in MLB, a trade of the pending free agent is pretty much a lock. Skubal, who won an arbitration award of $32M against the team's low-ball offer ...
Not even a rainout can stop these red-hot Orioles! Perhaps I exaggerate just a bit. But after a convincing 7-4 win on Friday night, one can almost glimpse what this team could be. Maybe a series against last-place Detroit was just what these Birds need to kickstart their herky-jerky season. Don’t discount the importance of […]

Indianapolis Indians 7, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) The Tigers moved reliever Zack Lee up from West Michigan with Brenan Hanifee headed to Baltimore to fill in for an injured Burch Smith, and it did not go well.

Tonight’s matchup at Oriole Park was not exactly the platonic ideal of what a baseball game should be. The weather was absolutely miserable. The teams were two of the worst in baseball. Let’s just say it’s not the kind of game you’d write wistful histories about. But the Baltimore Orioles versus the Detroit Tigers was […]
It is Friday night. The Orioles have beaten the Tigers by a 7-4 score.
