Bless You Boys

A very well pitched game from both sides saw no runs driven in by either side. All three came via wild pitches, and the tally of one for the Sox, two wild pitches by the Tigers, tells the tale as the White Sox made it two in a row with a 2-1 victory on Saturday.

Reese Olson’s debut went as well as you could hope on a warm night on the south side. He no hit the White Sox for five innings, racking up six strikeouts with only a walk allowed. Unfortunately the offense couldn’t get much going as the Tigers fell to the Sox 3-0 to open the weekend

A player’s first trip to the major leagues is always special, even if the circumstances are pretty far from optimal. The Detroit Tigers have been absolutely ravaged by injuries yet again and will be hard pressed to continue their solid play in May. For pitching prospect Reese Olson, this is an opportunity. For the Tigers,

It was a tough week for the Detroit Tigers, who dropped two of three at home against the Texas Rangers to wrap up the month of May. But it was not the losses that have the fanbase biting its nails — it was the loss of both Eduardo Rodriguez and Riley Greene to potentially long-term

Toledo Mud Hens 4, Indianapolis Indians 1 (box) With Reese Olson called away to start for the Tigers on Friday, the Hens had to piece together a bullpen game on Thursday. They managed it quite well, and the offense came alive late to break a four-game skid. Garrett Hill got the call as the “starter”

Indianapolis Indians 13, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) Well this one was pretty forgettable, at least for the Mud Hens. Austin Bergner was rocked for five runs in the second inning before reliever Matt Wisler took over and quieted things down briefly. Rony Garcia took over in the fourth and spun two scoreless innings before

Spirits among Detroit Tigers’ faithful were low entering Wednesday afternoon’s series finale against the Texas Rangers. Not only had the Texas offense whooped Detroit’s pitching two days in a row. Not only did the team just lose its best pitcher and best position player for indefinite periods less than 24 hours apart. But Joey Wentz,

On Wednesday morning, the Detroit Tigers announced that outfielder Riley Greene has been moved to the 10-day injured list with a stress fracture of his left fibula. He was removed in the fifth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Texas Rangers with what was initially described as lower leg discomfort. There is no timetable for

Erie SeaWolves 11, Richmond Flying Squirrels 1 (box) I’m still unsure what happened to the Erie SeaWolves pitching staff this season, but it remains a hot mess down there even when a top prospect starter has a good game. Wilmer Flores tossed five innings of one-run ball with only a solo home run as the

The Detroit Tigers have done a fantastic job of exceeding expectations as the month of May wanes, leading into the dog days of summer. As of Monday afternoon, the Motor City Kitties were just two games under the .500 mark and a pair behind the American League Central-leading Minnesota Twins, who sit perched atop the

For six innings, this was a back and forth affair with both sides putting up plenty of offense. The Rangers bullpen was able to slam the door, whereas a fairly taxed Tigers’ pen continued to leak runs as Texas pulled away in the late innings to win 10-6 on Tuesday. Alex Faedo got the start,

Well, the timing couldn’t have been much worse. With at least a few weeks left until reinforcements arrive off the injured list, the Detroit Tigers had to add two players to the list on Tuesday. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez was moved to the 15-day injured list with a pulley rupture of his left index finger. OF

Matthew Boyd vs. Nathan Eovaldi wasn’t a particularly encouraging matchup. The former entered Monday’s Memorial Day contest with an ERA approaching 6.00. If you extrapolate his last five starts, it’s nearly 7.00. Meanwhile, Eovaldi’s pitched to a 2.60 ERA and an even lower FIP in his first 10 starts with the Texas Rangers. It also

There were many major league baseball players whose careers were interrupted as they left to serve our country in World War II, including Tigers Hall-of-Famer Hank Greenberg.

It might come to the surprise of many that the Detroit Tigers currently sit just one game under the .500 mark as well as a game behind the American League Central division-leading Minnesota Twins as the month of May draws to a close. Believe it or not, the Motor City Kitties’ record through 51 is

A four-game weekend series between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers concluded on Sunday: the Tigers had won two not-terribly-close games and the visitors had won in a laugher on Friday. Sunday’s game saw a couple of lead changes, both bullpens giving up runs, and an exciting finish in a 6-5 Tigers victory
