Cristopher Sanchez smothers Tigers’ bats to even the series
Casey Mize didn’t have his best outing, and the opposing pitcher was a tough test in this one. Cristopher Sanchez won that contest, and while the Tigers actually swung the bats reasonably well, they fumbled a few opportunities and the Phillies won 4-2 to even the series at a game apiece. This was going to […]

Detroit Tigers select RHP Cameron Flukey in the first round
The newest future Detroit Tiger has joined the organization, as Scott Harris and co selected RHP Cameron Flukey with the 22nd pick of the MLB Draft. Flukey just finished his third year with Coastal Carolina with 31 strikeouts in 24 innings, having missed most of the season with a preseason stress fracture in his rib. […]
The 2025 Detroit Tigers MLB draft in retrospect
As in 2024, the Detroit Tigers were once again faced with a low pick as they selected 24th overall in the 2025 MLB amateur draft. Unlike 2024, they had the competitive balance A round selection, which helped both in terms of picks but also in terms of bonus pool to a degree. They did as […]
Tigers can clinch 4th straight series with win over Phillies on Saturday
The Detroit Tigers continued their surge into the All-Star break on Friday night with an authoritative 10-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Comerica Park.

Max Clark homers in Mud Hens loss
Indianapolis Indians 6, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Troy Watson was knocked around in his return to the rotation, and the Hens couldn’t capitalize enough on 10 hits and two walks to mount a comeback. Watson gave up a run in the bottom of the first, and then three more in the third. The score […]
Tigers continue to claw away at the competition with win over Phillies
Talk about opening a series in style as the Tigers beat the Phillies 10-2 to open the last weekend series of the first half. For the last weekend series before the All-Star Break, the Tigers were squaring off against the club that would be hosting the All-Star Game in the Phillies. They were hoping to […]

The 2024 Detroit Tigers MLB draft in retrospect
Scott Harris’ second draft with scouting chiefs Rob Metzler and Mark Conner followed a similar set of preferences, but in a much more challenging position as the Tigers had the 11th overall selection, and their compensation pick was set after the second round this time around. As a result, they were working with a much […]
Detroit Tigers open up final series before All-Star break vs Philadelphia Phillies on Friday
The Detroit Tigers appear to be charging headfirst into the All-Star break after securing a 4-1 win over the Athletics on Thursday night to secure the sweep and make it six victories in seven tries so far in July. Jake Rogers hit another homer and Eduardo Valencia cranked one as well in his first MLB […]
Jackson Strong homers, Elissalt K’s seven in Whitecaps victory
Indianapolis Indians 6, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) These two teams continue to go back and forth as the Indians fought off a late rally from the Hens and walked this one off. Ty Madden got the start in this one, and it was another rough one. Madden has struggled after a nice stint up […]
Dingers from unlikely sources power Tigers to sweep of A’s
The white-hot Detroit Tigers went for the home sweep of a three-game weeknight series against the Homeless A’s on Thursday evening, after winning the first two games in fun fashion. They made it eight wins in the past nine games with a 4-1 win to complete the sweep. It was Framber Valdez’s turn in the […]

Tigers DFA Jahmai Jones, Eduardo Valencia promoted from Triple-A
Well, the day was bound to come. Pinch-hit specialist Jahmai Jones has struggled mightily all season long, and while the Detroit Tigers were more patient than most liked, he just hasn’t been able to turn things around. Dillon Dingler’s hand contusion isn’t going to put him on the injured list, but it did precipitate a […]
Detroit Tigers go for home sweep of Athletics on Thursday
The Detroit Tigers are on a roll as the All-Star break approaches, notching their fifth win of July and seventh in the last eight games after securing a 6-2 win over the Athletics on Tuesday night. Troy Melton set a new career high in strikeouts with nine while allowing just an unearned run over just […]
Bryce Rainer’s monster performance leads Whitecaps over Fort Wayne
Toledo Mud Hens 2, Indianapolis Indians 0 (box) The Hens got really good pitching in this one and while the offense wasted some opportunities, it was enough to even the series. Max Clark led off the game with a walk, but was picked off. I don’t mind this at all. Would love to see him […]
Jake Rogers becomes unlikely hero in Tigers’ win
Perhaps they should rename Comerica Park to Rogers Center after Jake Rogers’ pinch performance helped the Tigers beat the A’s 6-1. The Tigers have been pretty good lately, 7-3 for their last 10 games, and as we know, performing well against teams with much better records than theirs. So naturally, against another fourth-place team, they’re […]

The 2023 Detroit Tigers MLB draft in retrospect
With the 2026 MLB amateur draft only days away, and Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris going into his fourth draft as head of the club, it’s a good time to look back at his first three efforts. The 2023 edition was, of course, quite a good one. Harris and amateur scouting director […]
