One of the most renowned notions in Detroit Tigers history comes from the great Sparky Anderson, whose 1984 squad set the record for most wins over the first 40 games in a season while going wire-to-wire to lead the franchise to its first World Series win since 1968. It was that season that inspired the

It was a weekend to forget for Detroit Tigers fans as the Motor City Kitties dropped two of three at home to the visiting Seattle Mariners, dropping them back into third place in the American League Central division a half-game behind the Cleveland Guardians and three-and-a-half behind the Minnesota Twins. However, the season is still

The 2023 Detroit Tigers are playing a very unique style of baseball considering the franchise’s history. For the past two decades, the club’s best seasons offensively have been built around a stable core of elite to above average hitters. At their best, they were six or seven hitters deep with good everyday position players. They

The 2023 MLB draft is just under two months away, and with both college baseball and high school baseball winding down, what better time to look at the Detroit Tigers’ best options with the third overall pick than now? Things are going to change over the next few months, but the top five or six

The Detroit Tigers dropped the second of a three-game weekend set against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday afternoon, giving them their first series loss since the Baltimore Orioles took three of four to end the month of April. But at least the Motor City Kitties fought hard on their home turf this time — save

Just when everyone was starting to let themselves feel good about the Detroit Tigers, Matthew Boyd provided a bit of a reality check on Friday night with one of the worst outings of his career. We’ve seen some bad ones, but the left-hander was knocked out of the game with only four outs recorded and

As we enter mid-May, the Detroit Tigers have put together a pretty good start cobbled together out of a lot of castaway pieces. It’s been a turbulent beginning and they aren’t scaring anyone yet, but they’ve won more than their share of close games and played a pretty gritty and fun style of ball. Of

The Detroit Tigers return home to the comfortable confines of Comerica Park this weekend on the heels of a successful 4-2 road trip against the St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Guardians, respectively. Now just two wins under .500 and sitting second place in the American League Central division — three games behind the Minnesota Twins

Iowa Cubs 5, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (box) The Hens got out to an early lead, but the bullpen couldn’t hold it on Thursday afternoon. The game started really well for Toledo. Parker Meadows led off the game with a double to right field and Justyn-Henry Malloy followed by cranking his fifth home run of

Iowa Cubs 3, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Like the Tigers on Tuesday, the Mud Hens had a bit of LOBster fest going on Wednesday afternoon. The pitching staff was solid, but the Hens fell short in a ninth inning rally. Ashton Goudeau got the start, allowing one run over three innings of work. Relievers

The sunny Wednesday afternoon finale and rubber game of a three-game series in Cleveland against the Guardians featured another great outing from Eduardo Rodriguez, and the Tigers took the series with a 5-0 win, in slightly over two hours. Rodriguez got the start for the Tigers, and he has been nothing short of sensational lately.

Iowa Cubs 6, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) Reese Olson was knocked around again, and the offense couldn’t get anything going as the Mud Hens dropped the first of six in Iowa. Olson was extremely inefficient, or wild to be more accurate, in this one. He allowed seven hits and four walks, striking out just

This was the game in the series that the Guardians absolutely had to win, and they did so. The Tigers got seven innings of one-run ball from Michael Lorenzen, but despite a ton of chances against Shane Bieber, they couldn’t come up with the hits when they needed them as they fell 2-0 on Tuesday

The Detroit Tigers are… good? The Tigers got back to their winning ways against the Cleveland Guardians Monday night with a 6-2 victory that saw Detroit play all phases of the game well. Left-hander Joey Wentz put together what might have been his best start of the season, striking out five over 5 2⁄3 innings

The Detroit Tigers followed up their sweep of the New York Mets at home to open the month of May taking two of three from the St. Louis Cardinals this past weekend, moving the Motor City Kitties up to three under .500 after 33 games. Next up on the docket for the Olde English D

The Detroit Tigers are only three games under .500 with 33 games officially in the books early on in the 2023 campaign. While the offense has woken up a bit since the season-opening slumber, the Motor City Kitties’ lineup is far from ferocious, which has put the onus on the pitching staff to keep the
