Skubal masterful in narrow victory over Royals

After Thursday night’s thrilling come-from-behind win to open the four-game series against the Royals, the tension was high all night as the Tigers, behind terrific pitching and just enough offence, squeaked-out a 2-1 victory on Friday night to ensure at least a series tie. Tarik Skubal made his fifteenth start of the season; his previous […]

Three paths for the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline

The Detroit Tigers are doing their very best to get back into the playoff picture. After a 22-14 run from June 1 to the All-Star break, they’ve won five of seven, including a 4-2 road trip, to start the unofficial second half of the season. As fun as it’s been, their surge has been muted […]

Kerry Carpenter’s more selective approach isn’t working out

If you’d told me on March 1st that Kerry Carpenter would be batting 6th on July 20th, I would have assumed the Tigers had the best offense in baseball, or at least that a lefty was on the mound. I would certainly have been wrong. After years of menacing right-handed pitchers from the top of […]

Tigers look to take Game 2 from Royals on Friday night

The Detroit Tigers opened up their four-game home series against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night with a white-knuckle 4-3 victory. Troy Melton gave up a pair of runs over five frames while the bullpen did its job, allowing just one run the rest of the way; a three-run shot by James Outman and […]

Toledo Mud Hens 13, Louisville Bats 3 (box) Max Clark and Brett Callahan posted three hit games as the Hens crushed Bats pitching all game long to win quite comfortably on a bullpen day. Callahan led off the second with a line drive double to right. New veteran backup catcher Carlos Pérez, signed as Tomas […]

James Outman and Dillon Dingler play hero in late-inning win

It took almost seven innings for the Tigers to remember to try to win, but they did win indeed, going 4-3 over the Royals. The Tigers were back home again after a post-All-Star Break road trip, and they would be facing a team that would most certainly be a thorn in their side. The Kansas […]

Tigers head home to host Royals for 4-game series

The Detroit Tigers earned their second straight series win on Wednesday night with a 5-1 win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Keider Montero matched his career-high of eight strikeouts and Hao-Yu Lee’s three-run home run in the fourth inning helped power the offense to the victory. The Motor City Kitties now head home […]

A Keider Montero gem leads Tigers to another win

And another one bites the dust as the Tigers collected a 5-1 win against the Cubs to close out their series at Wrigley Field. After a bummer game on Tuesday, the Tigers were hoping to pivot back into winning mode and take the series win against the Cubs. They had Keider Montero on the mound, […]

Tigers try to take rubber match from Cubs on Wednesday

The Detroit Tigers took a whipping on Tuesday night at the hands of the Chicago Cubs, who used a rough first inning from Framber Valdez to embarrass their visitors, 11-2, at Wrigley Field. AJ Hinch opted to go with a pair of position players on the mound, and hilarity ensued. For the Motor City Kitties, […]

Big first inning propels to Cubs to a laugher

The Detroit Tigers looked to follow up Monday night’s thrilling win with another on Tuesday night on the north side of Chicago. Instead, the Cubs pantsed the Tigers to the tune of an 11-2 drubbing. Framber Valdez got the start for the Tigers, and after Monday’s game in which the bullpen pitched a total of […]

Looking at Tarik Skubal’s trade value

As the Detroit Tigers entered the All-Star break in 2026, they had salvaged what started out to be a terrible season, falling 16 games under .500 and 11.5 games behind the division lead. But since June 1st, they have been as good as any team in the league and pulled to within 4.5 games of […]

Tigers look to clinch road series vs Cubs on Tuesday

The Detroit Tigers opened up their three-game road series against the Chicago Cubs on Monday night with a nail-biting 8-6 victory in 10 innings. It began with a half-hour rain delay and ended in extra frames, and in between the two was plenty of action and zaniness. But what is important is that the good […]

Home runs giveth, home runs taketh away in extra innings win

It took 10 innings about three and a half hours, but the Tigers beat the Cubs 8-6. After dropping the final game of their series against the Angels, the Tigers were hoping to have a good series against the Chicago Cubs, knowing they can’t really afford to lose multiple games in a row. To get […]

Gleyber Torres activated, Eduardo Valencia optioned to Toledo

Here’s the good news: noted ‘professional hitter’ Gleyber Torres is back. His rehab from his second oblique injury of 2026 has progressed to minor league games, and he recently cracked a home run in his second Single-A game on Saturday. That was enough apparently, but more to the point, the Tigers are running out of […]

Tigers open up second half of road trip vs Cubs on Monday

The Detroit Tigers failed to complete the sweep of the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday afternoon, falling short by a run in a 3-2 defeat in Anaheim. Casey Mize was knocked out early after getting hit on the left wrist with a 108 mph comebacker and the offense wasted all of its gas the night […]

Jobe sharp in 3-inning start for Erie, Briceno hits grand slam

Toledo Mud Hens 6, Gwinnett Stripers 5 (box) Toledo avoided the three-game sweep with a 6-5 win on Sunday thanks to a walk-off homer from Jace Jung. Jung crushed a sweeper to lead off the bottom of the ninth, wearing the Charlie Brown jersey. It’s been a decent year for Jung, who passed his 2024 […]
