DETROIT — The Tigers have taken plenty of lumps, dealt with injuries and have been forced to make creative roster moves and lineup decisions this season. And while Detroit fell just shy of a twin bill sweep of the AL West-leading Astros on Saturday, a competitive split was still very encouraging. Houston toted a hefty
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch trotted out to the mound and removed right-hander Wily Peralta in the third inning, even though the 32-year-old veteran had a no-hitter intact. But that was the plan. Peralta was only scheduled to pitch one time through the Houston Astros’ batting order in Game 2 of Saturday’s doubleheader, and he didn’t

Driving to Comerica Park on Saturday, Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch purposefully went the wrong way on a few roads. “A lot of accidents and floods,” Hinch said Saturday. Metro Detroit roads, especially the freeways, looked apocalyptic. Vehicles were sideways, turned backward and underwater. Some cars were lifeless in the middle of the roads, others were
Detroit — Has a player ever looked prouder or happier to haul the glittering WWE-styled championship belt into the interview room after a victory? “I’ve been dreaming about this,” said shortstop Zack Short, who was bestowed offensive player of the game honors by his teammates after bashing his first career home run, a two-run blast that
Friday night’s rainout was probably a blessing in disguise for the Detroit Tigers. In game one of Saturday’s doubleheader, Casey Mize needed just one inning of relief help from Jose Cisneros to shut down the Astros and win 3-1. The Astros got off to a good start with singles from Jose Altuve and Michael Brantley
Detroit – It’s seemed like a random decision – starting Casey Mize in the first game of the scheduled double-header Saturday and Wily Peralta in the second. Except Tigers manager AJ Hinch doesn’t do anything randomly. There was rhyme and reason for it. “You’re kind of trying to hit the forecast,” he said, meaning, if
Zack Short picked the perfect time to hit his first career home run, blasting a 2-run opposite field shot to give the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Casey Mize turned in another standout performance, giving up just one run in 6 innings with 5 strikeouts against a red-hot Astros team.

The Detroit Tigers know they need a shortstop, but the long-term answer might not arrive until this offseason or, at the earliest, the trade deadline in July. The combination of Niko Goodrum, Willi Castro and Harold Castro hasn’t worked. As a result of those struggling, the Tigers have a combined minus-15 Defensive Runs Saved — a metric measuring how many
The 2021 amateur draft begins on July 11, and with the later date comes more time for analysis, predictions, smokescreens, rumors, and possible major changes up and down teams’ draft boards. With this in mind, there is naturally quite a bit of uncertainty over which prospects will land with which teams, as a real consensus
DETROIT — As the 27th man on the roster, Zack Short knew his time with the Tigers would be fleeting. He’d held his own through five Major League games earlier in the season, but Saturday provided a chance to make a real statement. Short did that and then some, not only flashing the leather at shortstop but

Detroit’s “Big Four” professional sports teams — the Lions, Pistons, Red Wings and Tigers – have combined to win 22 championships over the past 120 years. And though it’s hard to believe, considering the city’s recent playoff drought — the last postseason victory by any of the four, a 2-0 win by the Wings over the
