Tarik Skubal returns to Detroit with emotions still mixed

The Los Angeles Dodgers are in town for a weekend set with the Tigers, and the story will certainly revolve around Tarik Skubal’s return to Detroit. Rarely in franchise history has the organization had such a talented pitcher and it was a pleasure to watch the two-time Cy Young award winner’s career unfold. While Casey […]

Tigers host Dodgers for 3-game weekend series starting on Friday

The Detroit Tigers open up the second half of their current six-game home stand on Friday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Maddux Long dominates Peoria in Whitecaps win

Carl Edwards Jr. put together a fantastic start on Thursday as the Hens took down the Saints in St. Paul.

Rays suffocate Tigers with pinpoint pitching

On Wednesday afternoon the Detroit Tigers looked to continue their recent success and extend their winning streak to… well, two games is still a streak, right? Unfortunately, they were stymied by some return-to-form pitching and just enough offence from the best team in the American League as they lost 3-0. Also, it’s really, really tough […]

Tigers can clinch series win vs Rays on Wednesday afternoon

The Detroit Tigers snapped their six-game losing streak on Tuesday night with a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Comerica Park.

Clark homers and bullpen locks down a Tigers victory

The Detroit Tigers looked to stop their six-game losing streak in their Tuesday-night tilt against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays.

Tigers skid extends to six as they drop series opener to Rays

The Tigers continue to lose at the worst possible time, dropping the first game of their series against the Rays 4-1.

Tigers return home to host Rays this week starting on Monday

The Detroit Tigers have been struggling of late, having now lost five in a row and seven of their last eight after the Kansas City Royals completed a sweep at Kaufmann Stadium on Sunday afternoon with an 11-7 victory.

Royals pummel Tigers pitching to complete the sweep

A bit wilder sort of game broke out on Sunday, but the result was the same. The Royals teed off on the Tigers bullpen, including Andrew Sears in his major league debut, all game long. The offense fought back repeatedly, but just couldn’t keep pace as the Royals swept them out of Kauffman Stadium with […]

The Detroit Tigers’ woes continued on Friday night, losing for the fourth straight time and seventh of the last eight games in a 3-1 final against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

Bats stay cold as Michael Wacha leads KC to a series win

Ever since the Chicago White Sox series last week in which the Tigers got swept, the wind seems to have gone out of their offenses’ sails. The Tigers pitched pretty well in this one, but the bats were asleep yet again as they dropped their seventh game in their last eighth by a score of […]

Andrew Sears to be promoted from Triple-A Toledo, per report

Left-hander Andrew Sears is reportedly on his way to Detroit.
