Bless You Boys

If you had told me before tonight’s game that the Detroit Tigers would hold the reigning World Champion Texas Rangers to a single run, I would’ve told you, “Jeez, I can’t wait to see how we get shut out in this one!” And if you had told me that the Tigers would put 10 runners

The Detroit Tigers remain at home this week within the comfortable confines of Comerica Park after splitting a four-game series with the Minnesota Twins this weekend. AJ Hinch’s squad won the opening and closing games, while the team was swept on Saturday’s doubleheader; nonetheless, the Olde English D kept its winning record intact. Next up

Toledo Mud Hens 16, Indianapolis Indians 6 (Sun)(box) The Hens had one more beatdown to hand out this weekend, and they did so on Sunday. The offense cranked out 16 hits to crush Indianapolis and take the series 5-1. Things popped off in the second inning. Keston Hiura led off with a single, Justice Bigbie

For most of Sunday afternoon’s series-concluding matchup with the Twins, things looked bleak. Bailey Ober dominated the scuffling Tigers’ lineup, and Jack Flaherty leaked a pair of early runs before settling into his outing. However, Javier Báez provided a spark that led to an eighth-inning rally as the Cardiac Cats came back to win and

Well this was absolutely not what the doctor ordered. The Tigers couldn’t hold off a Twins comeback in Game 1, and then failed to hold serve in the 12th inning to lose it. In Game 2, the bats were just atrocious once again while Matt Manning’s rare mistakes were hit hard. And so the Twins

Toledo Mud Hens 4, Indianapolis Indians 3 (F/11)(box) This one featured a really good pitching matchup as Keider Montero looked to defend home turf against perhaps the best pitching prospect in baseball in Paul Skenes. Montero was good, Skenes was fearsome, and neither factored at all in the decision nor allowed any runs. Instead this

For everyone who hadn’t already floated away from all this rain we’re getting in the Great Lakes region, they were able to see the Tigers finally take on the Twins in what, after Thursday’s rainout, was the opener of a four-game, now-three-day weekend series in Detroit. After another rain delay of about an hour —

The Detroit Tigers return to the comfortable confines of Comerica Park this weekend to host the Minnesota Twins for a four-game American League Central tangle in the Motor City. The opener on Thursday afternoon was postponed due to inclement weather, resulting in a straight doubleheader on Saturday sandwiched between two single games. So far, AJ

The other affiliates were all rained out on Thursday, so it’s an all Lakeland recap today. The rest will play doubleheaders on Saturday to make up the rain outs.

Indianapolis Indians 4, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Matt Manning was scratched prior to the start of this one, with the implication that the Tigers are preparing for a potential doubleheader on Friday. Thursday’s game looks almost certain to be rained out, bumping Tarik Skubal to a Friday start. The Tigers seem set on using

Toledo Mud Hens 6, Indianapolis Indians 5 (box) The Hens were back home on Tuesday night, and they put together a come from behind victory for the home crowd in this one. Jace Jung struck first, launching his second home run of the year in the bottom of the first with no one aboard. Austin

Hey, it’s the Pirates! Because of course, the Tigers will face the Pirates almost as much in a given season as they will other AL Central teams. Let’s take a look at how the matchup between Casey Mize and Martin Perez shaped up in Pittsburgh this afternoon. Matt Vierling started out the game with a

Reese Olson just didn’t have it on Monday night in Pittsburgh. Repeatedly wasting pitches and falling behind, the Pirates took advantage of a bunch of soft hits to pile up the runs, while the Tigers squandered too many chances to score again. The Tigers did jump out to an early lead in this one, but

The Detroit Tigers hit the road once again after failing to defend their home turf from the visiting (former) Oakland Athletics this weekend, where they won the season home opener on Friday night but fell on Saturday and Sunday. AJ Hinch’s squad has no time to feel bad for themselves, however, as their upcoming opponent

Iowa Cubs 9, Toledo Mud Hens 6 (Sun)(box) The Hens jumped out to a little lead in this one, but the Cubs blew up spot starter Bryan Sammons, and then Brendan White in relief, to seize control of this one and take the series on Sunday. Wenceel Perez stayed hot, leading off the game with

ahem Tigers lose, 7-1. Okay, fine, I’ll recap the game. Today, the Oakland Athletics spoiled Detroit’s first home series of the 2024 campaign. …Before we get started, if you aren’t a fanatic, close this tab now and go watch whatever remains of the second half of Iowa vs. South Carolina.

Saturday was Red Wings Day at the ballpark, as fans packed into Comerica Park for a pleasant day in downtown Detroit and 15,000 of our most punctual fans received a free Tigers sweater! How fun. Unfortunately for the not-so-punctual fans in attendance, they could have used that sweater, as Tigers hitters went ice-cold during Saturday’s
