It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of a prospect making his major-league debut, especially when their narrative is as improbable as Akil Baddoo’s — Rule 5 draft pick, home run on his first pitch, sent from a dying planet to fight for truth, justice and the Ilitch-ian way, etc. — has been

A pair of former top prospects and another well on his way took their turns in the spotlight Saturday. The trio did not disappoint. Tristan McKenzie struck out seven over five innings while Dane Dunning and Dean Kremer — squaring off against each other — combined to allow a run over 10 2/3 innings with

Detroit – The Tigers might need to resort to sorcery or some other form of black magic to break the hex against the Oakland Athletics. Or, failing that, try stringing a few hits together and scoring some runs. The Athletics rode three well-struck early home runs off rookie Casey Mize on their way to a breezy
Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press What Casey Mize did after giving up a career-high three homers on Saturday may be just as portentous as what he did in his previous start. A meltdown and a quick hook could have ensued. Instead, Mize grinded through three more innings after allowing three bombs in a

Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press A few early long balls made for a very long afternoon for Casey Mize and the Detroit Tigers. Mize gave up three homers — all in the first two innings — for the first time in 10 career starts, and the Tigers lost their third straight game in
The look on Casey Mize‘s face as he watched Matt Olson’s first-inning home run soar 438 feet out to right field summed up the pitch as well as his outing Saturday. The Tigers’ right-hander had the A’s slugger in an 0-2 count, couldn’t get him to chase splitters out of the zone, then left a
The script is simple, but consistent. The Detroit Tigers do not hit on the west coast, and they proved it again on Saturday, getting dominated by a fifth starter type while Casey Mize was victimized by the long ball en route to a 7-0 loss, their third straight. Things went poorly from the start in
Are you familiar with the Mandela Effect? For some Detroit Tigers fans, the Mandela Effect is a term you may not hear before but what it is according to various sources including the New York Times and named by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome:
Detroit — Entering Saturday’s game in Oakland, the Tigers starters had allowed two runs or fewer in six straight games. As a unit, they’ve posted a 3.68 ERA while holding opponents to a .228 batting average. Conversely, the bullpen has scuffled — 7.24 ERA, .266 opponent average, 1.6 WHIP with an untenable 31 walks in 51

Akil Baddoo has rightfully been the talk of the early Detroit Tigers season. His first few games will remain legendary, and him dominating despite never playing above High-A made it all the more compelling.
Nobody in American League history had a higher OPS through his first eight Major League games than Akil Baddoo. Nobody expected the Tigers rookie and Rule 5 revelation to keep up that record pace. Baddoo’s season is going to be a series of adjustments as he experiences his first extended stretch of baseball since Class
Detroit Tigers right fielder Nomar Mazara was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday but it will take longer than that for his left abdominal strain to heal. There’s no timetable for his return but it’ll be “at least a couple weeks” before he’s ready, manager AJ Hinch said before Saturday’s game in Oakland,
The Detroit Tigers dropped a tough one on Friday night to the Oakland Athletics despite a surprisingly strong start from José Ureña, getting shut out by a score of 3-0. Instead of starting a new winning streak, the good guys now look to prevent a series loss on its west coast swing. The good news
