Things the Detroit Tigers should do in September
Well, barring a real miracle, the Detroit Tigers 2026 season is a lost cause. After playing themselves back into contention by the middle of August, they’ve absolutely cratered since getting swept by the Chicago White Sox. A massive payroll expansion, multiple talented rookies added to the mix, Jackson Jobe’s return from Tommy John surgery, and […]
Drew Sommers has emerged as a high leverage arm for the Tigers
Very little has gone right for Detroit’s bullpen this year. The three veteran closing options have all underwhelmed, or in Will Vest’s suffered injuries, and many of the optionable depth arms they’ve relied on in the past have struggled, too. Amidst those struggles, one surprising candidate has emerged as perhaps AJ Hinch’s most reliable option: […]
Tigers hit the road to take on the Twins this week
The Detroit Tigers played things close with the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers for most of the weekend, but came away with just one win in the three-game series after a 6-1 defeat on Sunday afternoon. Framber Valdez gave his team five frames of one-run ball, but a hung changeup in the sixth broke a 1-1 […]
Izaac Pacheco homers twice, Jace Jung drives in five
Toledo Mud Hens 10, St. Paul Saints 6 (box) Toledo scored 10 runs across the fourth and fifth innings to secure a 4-2 series victory. Jace Jung delivered the biggest swing with his 20th home run of the season, a grand slam that gave him five RBI. Riley Greene started in left field for his […]
Tyler Glasnow stuffs the Tigers in a locker
The Tigers were in this one as long as their pitching held up, and that lasted about six innings. A good start from Framber Valdez got a bit spoiled at the end, and then the bullpen fell apart in the late innings. More to the point, the Tigers managed just two hits on the day […]

River Ryan is the Tigers’ X factor for the future
With the Tigers hopes for a wild card spot just about spent, it’s time to start looking a little further ahead. The Tigers do have some players bound to return from the injured list in September, and one of them in particular could have a huge impact on their future fortunes. Riley Greene is already […]
Tigers can take the series vs Dodgers on Sunday with a win
The Detroit Tigers evened up their three-game home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday afternoon with a narrow 2-1 walk-off victory. Keider Montero threw 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball and the bullpen did its job, while Kevin McGonigle drove in Javier Báez in the ninth to seal the deal. Thanks to that […]
Riley Greene rehabs in Toledo, Bryce Rainer homers again
St. Paul Saints 8, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) Toledo’s three-game winning streak came to an ugly end Saturday. Dylan File surrendered three home runs, including a fifth-inning grand slam, and the Mud Hens’ offense struck out 12 times. Saturday also marked Riley Greene’s first game since a right hamstring strain sent him to the […]
Tigers beat Dodgers in another tight pitchers duel
The middle game of a three-game weekend series against the Dodgers continued on a perfect-for-baseball Saturday afternoon in Detroit. Like Friday night’s game it was a low-scoring affair, but unlike the series opener the Tigers came out on top, 2-1… or was it? Keep reading for the exciting conclusion. If patterns are to be believed, […]

Tigers look to even up series with Dodgers on Saturday afternoon
The Detroit Tigers dropped the weekend home series opener to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night, 2-1. Tarik Skubal threw six frames of one-run ball for the visitors, but that was all the offense would score, leaving no room for error for the relief corps — and of course with this group, there is […]
Michael Massey makes his pro debut in Lakeland, Cris Rodriguez homers again
Toledo Mud Hens 4, St. Paul Saints 0 (box) Jackson Wolf threw a great game, and the bullpen held an early lead to take out the Saints on Friday. The Saints were without prized outfield prospect Walker Jenkins, who was called up to the big leagues for his debut yesterday. The Hens jumped out to […]
Tarik Skubal and the Dodgers bullpen bully the Tigers
The Tigers were unable to spoil Tarik Skubal’s homecoming. The now Dodgers ace had a pretty normal, excellent but nothing special start, while Tigers pitching dealt with a ton of traffic on the bases all night long. They held up enough to make it close, but the offense couldn’t cope with Dodgers pitching, losing 2-1 […]

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. Things have been tough lately for the Olde English D, having lost 10 of its last 12, and it will not get any easier with one of Major League Baseball’s best teams rolling […]
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. After a weird season of injuries, struggling through his major league debut, and then scuffling back in Toledo, Trei Cruz has finally heated up recently. He led off the game with a solo shot. In […]
Ben Jacobs and Cameron Flukey shine on the mound, Max Anderson homers for Mud Hens
Toledo Mud Hens 4, St. Paul Saints 2 (box) The Hens built an early lead and held on in a contest that featured a lot of traffic on the bases, but not a whole lot of run scoring. The Hens missed an opportunity in the second, but in the third they opened the scoring in […]
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 […]

Jackson Jobe is back but development is still on the menu
After over a year of rehab and recovery, Jackson Jobe made his triumphant return to the mound on Saturday, August 8 against the Giants. Then he got lit up by the White Sox on August 14. His outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates on the 19th, went much better as he allowed just one earned run […]
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. Jackson Jobe was not incredibly sharp, but combined with the bullpen, the pitching staff stymied the visitors’ bats while a two-run homer from Max Clark helped power the good guys to the […]
Cris Rodriguez goes deep in first A-ball game, Peyton Graham sets stolen base record
St. Paul Saints 8, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Sawyer Gipson-Long was mauled again, and the Hens couldn’t get much going offensively on Tuesday. Gipson-Long surrendered three homers in this one, and gave up four runs in the bottom of the first. The first season after Tommy John can be tough, but it’s hard to […]
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. They did exactly that by hitting a timely home run and taking advantage of some shaky defence in a 4-1 win to even the three-game series at a win apiece. Jackson Jobe made his fourth […]
