After meekly surrendering to the Cleveland Guardians in Game 1 of their American League Division Series, the Detroit Tigers didn’t score for the first eight innings — and neither did their opponents — but a stunning home run against a nearly-unhittable closer was the difference in a 3-0 victory to even the American League Division

Saturday’s Game 1 matchup with the Cleveland Guardians was billed as the Tigers’ well-honed bullpen games versus top starter Tanner Bibee and a more traditional approach. Tradition won out in that one. The Guardians couldn’t afford to lose the first of two at Progressive Field and then face Tarik Skubal in Game 2. They held

Riding the high of the Wild Card sweep, the Tigers were feeling pretty great about their chances in the ALDS. Now this is a long series and there is certainly a lot of drama ahead of us, but it’s safe to say in the first inning the Tigers’ enthusiasm was dampened slightly. Things would not

The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians open up American League Divisional Series play on Saturday afternoon in an unexpected battle between two AL Central teams. Last year, the division was the worst in baseball, but somewhat miraculously, four of the five teams posted .500 records or better this summer. Of course, there was the Chicago

Visual storytelling in baseball doesn’t get much more striking and far-reaching than the ending of the Detroit Tigers sweep of the Houston Astros on Wednesday. As the camera shots moved from manager A.J. Hinch, triumphant with his young and finally rebuilt team in Minute Maid Park, site of his greatest moments as a manager, on

The attorney for Diamond Sports Group, which owns Bally Sports and holds the local television broadcast rights to a dozen major league baseball teams, told the bankruptcy court on Wednesday that the company has terminated the contracts for the Detroit Tigers and the Tampa Bay Rays, and is expected to terminate the contracts for seven

Since the All-Star break, just about every lever Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has pulled has been the right one. From pinch-hit decisions, to defensive replacements, to pinch-runners, just about everything has come up aces. Nowhere has that been more evident than in the decisions they’ve made with the pitching staff. Now an American League

For over two months, the 2024 Detroit Tigers have played the most clutch brand of baseball we’ve seen in many, many years. They had plenty more in the tank in Game 2 of the Wild Card Series, and they needed all of it. A sloppy seventh inning cost them a slim lead, but they came

Here we are, friends, and before we dive into today’s postseason recap, let’s set the scene. It has been 10 years since the Tigers played postseason baseball. In 2014, Mike Ilitch was still the owner, Brad Ausmus was in his first year as the manager (taking the helm of a strong 2013 ship from Jim

If you’ve been following your own team all year and were not looking league-wide to prepare for postseason baseball, you might be surprised to see the Detroit Tigers clinched a spot in this year’s playoffs. Well, you’re not alone. A young Tigers team that appeared to be dead in the water by midseason, and sold

The Detroit Tigers got one of the biggest breaks in the history of the franchise on October 30, 2020. For a time, it looked as though the Chicago White Sox were in position with a win now roster to hire A.J. Hinch, but instead owner Jerry Reinsdorf chose his old buddy Tony La Russa to

Here we go. After 10 years, the Detroit Tigers are back in the postseason and they’re carrying a huge head of steam following one of greatest stretch drives in the game’s history. The AL Wild Card Series between the Tigers and the Houston Astros gets underway at Minute Maid Park in Houston with a 2:32

After an electrifying run to the postseason, it’s natural to try and identify how and exactly when the Detroit Tigers flipped the switch. You could point to Trey Sweeney replacing Javier Báez as the starting shortstop in mid-August. You could more facetiously nod to former manager Jim Leyland’s “go get a $%^&#$% win” moment on

The Detroit Tigers are playing meaningful baseball in October this fall for the first time in 10 years and the fanbase could not be more excited about the next step in the Motor City Kitties’ magical season. The first stop on the way to the World Series (fingers crossed) is in Houston, where the Astros

The Tigers finished the regular season on a muted note on Sunday, dropping one 9-5 to the Chicago Sox. It was a pretty ugly day for the Tigers all around, and as the Kansas City Royals closed out their season with a win over the Atlanta Braves, the Tigers will take on the Houston Astros

On Friday night, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-1, clinching a playoff berth for the first time since 2014. In the process, they handed the south siders their record setting 121st loss of the season. Despite a strong month of August, it took a 17-6 run in September, with two games remaining,

On a rainy Saturday afternoon, a somewhat tired looking Tigers squad dropped a 4-0 game to the Chicago White Sox. Apart from a strong three innings from Jackson Jobe, there wasn’t much to report as the bats just weren’t sharp in this one. The start of Saturday’s penultimate game was delayed for almost two and
