The first of a pair of games today in Cleveland was delayed about 2 1⁄2 hours, after being bumped back from Tuesday night. It was worth the wait, though, as the Tigers beat Cleveland 9-4 by getting 15 hits — with the help of 3 2⁄3 scoreless innings from the bullpen, of course. José Ureña,

The Detroit Tigers have been owned by the Cleveland Indians for so long that it’s difficult to remember a time when things were otherwise. During their four consecutive AL Central titles from 2011-2014, they beat up on Cleveland with regularity, but starting in 2015, fortunes have been decisively reversed. From 2015 through 2019, the Tigers

The Tigers got absolutely nuked in Cleveland on Monday night. This was not a fun game to watch, and if there is any silver lining it would have to be that there were plenty of teachable moments for Tigers rookie starting pitcher Matt Manning. Making his third major league start and after two solid outings,

Fans of the Detroit Tigers know nothing good ever comes of a trip to Cleveland. Since the Tiger reign as AL Central overlords ended in 2015, Cleveland has feasted on the Tigers.

There was every reason to be fearful for Matt Manning. After not pitching in 2020, his Triple-A numbers to start 2021 were…not great. His peers Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal got off to very bumpy beginnings upon their first MLB call-ups last season, so it seemed like a given that the first few outings were

Happy Monday.

There are still

A day after the Tigers split a doubleheader with the Houston Astros, the finale of the four-game series was played on a breezy, muggy Sunday in Detroit, as some June Sundays can be around Michigan. The Tigers earned a split of the series as a whole as well, as a safety squeeze by Robbie Grossman

The Detroit Tigers have a chance to split their four-game weekend series with the Houston Astros on Sunday with a win behind one of their emerging prospect pitchers.

The Tigers held the Astros off the board until the sixth, when they broke through against Michael Fulmer to take game two and split the doubleheader with a 3-2 victory.
