Tigers sweep with a dazzling Melton start and another Dingler homer

The Tigers did the seemingly impossible on Wednesday afternoon as they wrapped up their series against the American League’s top team with a sweep, winning 7-2. I’d be very curious to know if someone in the Tigers’ front office has promised their firstborn child to an Etsy witch, or something, because I don’t know who […]

Detroit Tigers go for sweep against Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday

Don’t look now, but the Detroit Tigers are undefeated in June after their 8-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on Tuesday night. Sure, the month is only two days old, but the Motor City Kitties have already scored as many runs (18) over the past pair of games as they did […]

Mud Hens crush Cubs as Justin Verlander rehabs

Toledo Mud Hens 16, Iowa Cubs 1 (box) With Justin Verlander on the mound, the Mud Hens’ offense honored their famous temp by absolutely mauling Cubs’ pitching on Tuesday. Verlander, sidelined after one start this spring with a hip issue, looked pretty good. He had no trouble at all with the Cubs, scattering three singles […]

Tigers swinging hot bats in shutout win over Rays

The Tigers are on a roll with a 8-0 victory over the Rays on Tuesday night. It’s unclear what has gotten into the Tigers, but I’m not mad at it, and I don’t think any of their fans are either. While the Tigers did cut it very close in Monday night’s game against the Rays, […]

Tigers try to make it two in a row against Rays on Tuesday

The Detroit Tigers opened up June with a white-knuckle 10-9 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, as one of the worst teams in the majors took down the top squad in the American League. AJ Hinch’s squad went wire-to-wire in the victory, but the team nearly collapsed in characteristic fashion in the […]

Tigers offense comes alive in tight win over Rays

The Tigers collected a rare W tonight in their 10-9 win over the Rays. It’s no secret that the Tigers have had a rough go of it over the past month. They just finished being swept by the White Sox, and the last thing anyone wanted to do after that was face the top team […]

Gleyber Torres continues rehab with Mud Hens

Columbus Clippers 6, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (box) Dylan File was rocked for four runs early in this one, and though they tied the game, the bullpen eventually let it get away against the Cleveland Guardians’ Triple-A affiliate. Sound familar? File gave up a leadoff homer to Cooper Ingle to start the game, and the […]

White Sox 2, Tigers 1: Another early lead withers and dies

Rinse and repeat. Keider Montero was brilliant on Sunday, but the Tigers’ offense did nothing after scoring a run in the first. An early hook and a brutal performance from Drew Anderson blew the game late, and the Tigers have now lost 21 of their last 25 games. The kitties jumped out to a slim […]

Kerry Carpenter and Gleyber Torres rehab in Toledo, Gipson-Long strikes out eight

Columbus Clippers 3, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) Sawyer Gipson-Long posted his best outing of the season, but the Hens’ bats slumbered on Saturday. The right-hander has been up and down since rehabbing a preseason injury, and is still not far removed from rehabbing the Tommy John surgery that cost him the 2024 and most […]

White Sox 7, Tigers 1: The beatings continue, morale has not improved

On Friday night, the Detroit Tigers accomplished the feat of giving up a walkoff loss in seven straigth road series. Per Elias Sports Bureau, they joined the 1992 Chicago White Sox as the only two teams to manage this since expansion began back in 1961. Surely, such weirdness would satisfy the baseball gods and lead […]

Thayron Liranzo homers again, while Kerry Carpenter rehabs in Toledo

Columbus Clippers 10, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (box) The Hens offense had a good night, but Carl Edwards Jr. and the Hens bullpen did not. Edwards Jr. is being stretched out as a starter for whatever reason. Probably because Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg liked him as a Cubs reliever nearly a decade ago. Anyway, […]

White Sox 4, Tigers 3 (F/10): Walk-off dingers really sting

After a disappointing mid-week series that the Tigers dropped against the cellar-dwelling Angels, they hit the road for the south side of Chicago for the opener of a trio of games against the White Socks — who were wearing a new City Connects outfit that makes them look like the Bulls — and it didn’t […]
