Tigers try to split series with Guardians on Sunday afternoon
The Detroit Tigers bounced back from a pair of walkoff losses during Friday night’s doubleheader to blank the Cleveland Guardians, 6-0, on Saturday night. Riley Greene’s four-hit performance powered the good guys against a potential Rookie of the Year candidate while the pitching staff threw its first shutout since blanking the Guards back on Aug. […]
Seth Stephenson walks off Somerset as the SeaWolves split doubleheader
Toledo Mud Hens 5, Indianapolis Indians 3 (box) Sawyer Gipson-Long gave up three in the first, but he settled in from there and the Hens bullpen was sharp as they took down Indy again on Saturday. Down 3-0 in the bottom of the first, Trei Cruz and Cal Stevenson walked. Max Anderson reached on a […]
Riley Greene and Framber Valdez power Tigers over Guardians
The Tigers needed some of their big names to get it together and win them a game. Framber Valdez answered the call with seven shutout frames on Saturday, while Riley Greene homered twice and drove in four in a four-hit game. The bullpen only needed to go two innings to hold a 6-0 lead, and […]

Tigers look to bounce back from doubleheader sweep vs Guardians on Saturday
The Detroit Tigers were swept in their Friday doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, coughing up leads in both games, resulting in walk-off losses. These defeats just seem to get more and more brutal as the season mercifully wanes. Getting the start for the Motor City Kitties on Saturday evening is left-hander Framber […]
Michael Massey and Jhonan Coba pitch well for Lakeland, Whitecaps get eliminated
Indianapolis Indians 6, Toledo Mud Hens 0 (box) The Hens managed just five hits in this one and really only mustered a few minor threats to score. Dylan File got the start. The right-hander was good for four innings and then gave up four runs in the fifth and another in the sixth. Hayden Minton […]
Tigers blow lead and get walked off by the Guardians again
This season ending will just feel like mercy at this point. We enjoyed seeing a really good starting debut from lefty Andrew Sears, but the Tigers squandered chances to expand an early lead, couldn’t put together a late run even in the tenth, and got themselves walked off 4-3 by Travis Bazzana. Good times. The […]
Tigers blow lead and get walked off by the Guardians
This game was just about a perfect microcosm of the season. The bullpen can’t hold up to pull out a tight game very often, an early lead crumbled in one terrible inning from Keider Montero, and after a nice burst from the offense early they went to sleep when it mattered most, doing nothing in […]

Tigers open up 4-game series at Guardians with doubleheader on Friday
The Detroit Tigers are moving on to the second leg of their current American League Central road trip starting on Friday with a doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. The opener of the four-game series is a make-up for a matchup originally scheduled for June 14 that was postponed due to weather. On […]
Jackson Wolf throws six hitless innings, Lakeland launches three homers
Toledo Mud Hens 2, Indianapolis Indians 1 (box) Jackson Wolf delivered six hitless innings, and Toledo reclaimed the lead in the eighth to earn its third consecutive win over Indianapolis. Four Mud Hens pitchers combined to allow just one hit while striking out 12. Wolf’s only two blemishes were a leadoff walk in the second […]
Ben Jacobs strikes out 10 as Whitecaps keep their postseason hopes alive
Toledo Mud Hens 11, Indianapolis Indians 2 (box) The Hens took advantage of 8 walks to crush Indy on Wednesday night. The Carl Edwards Jr. experiment has been an absolute rollercoaster, but they got the good version in this one. The veteran right-hander gave up a run in the first, and then powered through four […]
Tigers take down Twins a wild 12 inning affair
Well this game had everything. A nice early lead, defensive miscues from rookie defenders, bad bullpen work, heroics, more shaky bullpen work, and finally 12th inning heroics from Spencer Torkelson as the Tigers staved off the sweep with an 11-6 victory over the Twins very late on Wednesday night. The Tigers took the field looking […]

Ben Jacobs is finishing the season strong in West Michigan
Left-handed pitching prospect Ben Jacobs was the Detroit Tigers third round pick in the 2025 amateur draft out of Arizona State University. We liked the pick at the time for his fastball shape, strike throwing, and his developing bag of secondary pitches, but there was also a bet placed on his physical projection. With refined […]
Tigers try to salvage series vs Twins on Wednesday
The Detroit Tigers took a spanking at the hands of the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, succumbing to a 10-run rally in the sixth inning en route to a 15-2 defeat. For the second night in a row, the Olde English D was left bruised and battered, having been outscored at Target Field so far, 26-3. […]
Jackson Strong, Bryce Rainer, and Zyhir Hope all homer in Tuesday’s action
Toledo Mud Hens 9, Indianapolis Indians 7 (box) Austin Gomber had a rough outing, but so did Indians’ starter Noah Davis. The Hens bullpen wasn’t good in this one, but it was enough to hang on and win. With two out in the bottom of the first, Max Anderson singled to right and then took […]
Twins crush hapless Tigers yet again
The Twins bullied the Tigers again on Wednesday, putting up a score of 15-2 in this one and outdoing the beatdown they issued on Monday. Troy Melton struggled, the defense was atrocious, and while it was ugly with Melton in the game, it was farce once Kyle Finnegan took over, and by the time he […]

Has Hao-Yu Lee secured a spot on the 2027 Tigers roster?
Amid the chaos of the 2026 Detroit Tigers season, we’ve also gotten a strong dose of the future. Kevin McGonigle is now the man in that dugout, and Max Clark is off to a nice start despite his youth. Eduardo Valencia, Ben Malgeri, and Brett Callahan have all shown some good things. The rookies are […]

Tigers try to tie Twins series with win on Tuesday
The Detroit Tigers dropped the series opener against the Minnesota Twins, 11-1, at Target Field on Monday night in a game that everyone wants to quickly forget. Jackson Jobe managed to escape trouble through the early innings, but it finally caught up with him in the fifth, when a three-run dinger opened the gates for […]
Twins trounce Tigers with homers aplenty
The Tigers went to Minnesota to open a three-game series with their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. They did nothing to assuage their fans’ fears on Monday night, dropping said series opener by a 11-1 score.

John Peck to the main stage for his major league debut
Reports surfaced on Sunday that infield prospect John Peck would be promoted to Detroit to make his major league debut on the road against the Minnesota Twins. The Tigers seventh round pick back in 2023 out of Pepperdine University, the recently turned 24-year-old was always a quality defender, but over the past year he’s broken […]
