The Detroit Tigers split a four-game series this week with the Cleveland Guardians resulting in a tidy 4-3 record on their recent road swing to open up the second half of the season.

Toledo Mud Hens 4, Louisville Bats 0 (box) Lael Lockhart Jr. was brilliant on Thursday evening in Toledo. The lefty collected 14 whiffs, at least three with each of his fourseam, slider, curveball, and splitter, striking out nine while one-hitting the Bats over six innings of work. The Hens built an early lead for Lockhart

The Tigers finally concluded their series against the Guardians with a day game on Thursday afternoon. The Tigers used a bullpen day to make their exit while the Guardians called on Gavin Williams. In the first, Colt Keith got a one-out walk, followed by a single from Justyn-Henry Malloy. Both baserunners were left stranded, though.

Toledo Mud Hens 9, Louisville 4 (box) The Mud Hens had another big night at the plate to take down Louisville for the second night in a row. Bryan Sammons gave the Hens a good outing, allowing just a run in the third inning on a Hernan Perez solo shot. In the bottom half, they

The Tigers continued their series against the Cleveland Guardians tonight with Jack Flaherty squaring off against Tanner Bibee. Detroit wasted no time getting on the board, but it would be the only run they’d score all night (spoiler alert). With two outs in the first, Matt Vierling hit a solo home run. Flaherty was also

Toledo Mud Hens 11, Louisville Bats 10 (F/10)(box) Ty Madden once again was absolutely shelled into oblivion in this one. However, the ball was flying and the Hens crushed six home runs to run down the Bats and win in 10 innings. Madden couldn’t get out of the third, after giving seven runs on 10

After a comfortable series-opening win on Monday, the Tigers’ pitching-by-committee couldn’t quite tame the Guardians as they dropped the second game of their four-day weekday series 5-4 in Cleveland. The Tigers had Ol’ Reliable, “TBA,” listed as the starter for most of the day. Eventually it was determined that Tyler Holton would kick things off

The Tigers continued their post-All-Star Break road trip with a visit to see some guys it feels like we just finished playing. In Cleveland it was All-Star Tarik Skubal on the mound against Carlos Carrasco, and the Tigers weren’t about to waste any time getting on the board. In the top of the first. Matt

The Detroit Tigers came out of the All-Star Break firing on all cylinders, taking two of three from the Toronto Blue Jays north of the border to continue one of the hottest current streaks in Major League Baseball. AJ Hinch’s squad has now won 10 of their last 13 games heading into a rematch with

The future of the Detroit Tigers’ catcher position will likely be decided in the next 10 days. The upcoming trade deadline, Carson Kelly’s impending free agency, and the success of top catching prospect Dillon Dingler this season, will all factor into the decisions that Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg have to make soon.

We thought promotion season would kick off right after the MLB draft and the All-Star break, but Max Clark and Kevin McGonigle needed three more games with the Low-A Lakeland Flying Tigers to really be ready. On Sunday evening, the Tigers announced that their two top position prospects have been promoted to High-A West Michigan.

The Tigers couldn’t quite pull off the sweep on Sunday. Both starting pitchers struggled, but the Blue Jays bullpen was a little better. Ultimately, a great defensive play by Daulton Varsho was the deciding moment, turning away the Tigers last attempt at a comeback as they lost 5-4. Still, the Tigers did win their fourth

Saturday’s victory over the Toronto Blue Jays continued a very good run for the Detroit Tigers in July. They’re now a game below .500 and just five games out of a wild card spot with 63 games to play. We should be feeling pretty good. Instead, Reese Olson came out of the game after two

The Tigers overcame some adversity in this one early on. The offense erupted in the middle innings and they survived another rough Kenta Maeda outing to win their eighth game out of the last ten and run their July record to 11-4. They are now one game below the .500 mark. For a few innings,

The Tigers won their ninth game out of their last 11 on Friday night, kicking off the second half the right way. Jack Flaherty spun a good game while Wenceel Pérez and Mark Canha homered to take down the Blue Jays 5-4 in the Rogers Centre. This was a pretty good pitching matchup to start
