Whether sports teams do that immediately is up to each one. The
Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press Tarik Skubal had an impossible act to follow. “I don’t know if I was trying to one-up,” the Detroit Tigers’ rookie left-hander said. “It would be really hard to one-up a no-hitter.” Skubal was the next man up in the rotation, after Spencer Turnbull no-hit the Seattle
At the one-quarter mark of the regular season, has there been a more chaotic division in baseball than the American League Central?

The Detroit Tigers had a ten-year anniversary that happened on March 15 that went unnoticed. It was on that day that international free-agent signing Harold Castro was signed in 2011 for just $29,000.
Toledo Mud Hens 8, Columbus Clippers 2 (box) The offense was the story in this one, as the Hens scored early and often, building an insurmountable lead by the fifth inning and cruising to their fourth victory of the year. 2B Yariel Gonzalez kicked things off with a two-run double to center to score Renato
Detroit Tigers reliever Joe Jimenez isn’t running away from his problems. A former All-Star and closer, Jimenez posted one scoreless inning in Sunday’s loss against the Chicago Cubs. It was his first time not allowing a run since Sept. 27, 2020, a span of 231 days. He felt pleased, looking up at the scoreboard and seeing a zero in

Seattle — It was kind of a beer frame night for Tigers rookie Tarik Skubal, facing the Mariners in the series finale after Casey Mize allowed a run in 7.2 innings Monday and Spencer Turnbull threw a no-hitter on Tuesday.

Great baseball cards have value that captures baseball at its best, stirs your nostalgic soul and perhaps even enriches your bank account. But strange baseball cards have value, too. They bring not just the stats but the laughs, thanks to poor production, confounding composition or unflattering photography. We’ll let the auctioneers and the hobbyists harp

APPLETON, WI – The West Michigan Whitecaps came up big at the plate and on the mound in clutch situations as they beat the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers by a score of 6-4 on Wednesday night at Fox Cities Stadium. At the plate, Andre Lipcius led the way with a 3-for-4 performance with a career-high three
