The Tigers’ hitters poked their heads out of the den briefly over the past two weeks, but the combo of Gerrit Cole and Luis Severino sent them scurrying back underground on Friday and Saturday. The club needs to pull it together to avoid a sweep on Sunday. They won’t have to face an ace, but

Despite preseason hopes for a magical season that are now dashed on the rocks alongside the Tigers’ play over the first two months, there is still plenty to look forward to this year. The major league debut of top Tigers prospect Riley Greene will certainly be the main event. Baseball America released their updated top
As the calendar turns to June, the mind of baseball’s prospect junkies is drifting to the upcoming MLB Amateur Draft, slated to begin on Sunday, July 17. The Tigers, accustomed, at this point, to making one of the first selections of the day, will be in a more respectable position as the 12th team on
Beau Brieske gave the Tigers every opportunity to win on Saturday in the Bronx, but another ghastly performance by the offense betrayed him as the Yankees took the second game of the series 3-0. As we’ve seen in his seven major league starts prior to Saturday’s outing in New York, Beau Brieske has an odd
The Detroit Tigers entered their weekend series with the New York Yankees riding high on a three-game winning streak while also winning five of their past seven, including four of five from the division-leading Minnesota Twins. That pink cloud quickly turned to grey on Friday night when Gerrit Cole spun 6 2⁄3 perfect innings before
Perfect games are delightful, until a pitcher is throwing one against your team into the late innings for the second night in a row. Gerrit Cole was absolutely obliterating the Tigers tonight, and to make matters worse, the Yankees offense was working on all cylinders in a nasty blowout. Thankfully, the perfecto only lasted 6
Apparently playing the Twins does not have to end in pain, as the Detroit Tigers took four of five from first-place Minnesota in a rare elongated series. While the Tigers are still fourth in the division and nine games under .500, it is hard to complain when the team has won seven of its past
Columbus Clippers 15, Toledo Mud Hens 11 (box) It was a big night for the offense and a rough one for the pitching staff, and that applies to both clubs as the Clippers outslugged the Hens in an old fashioned slobberknocker on Thursday. Chase Anderson started the game and was rocked for five runs and
Don’t look now, but the Detroit Tigers are playing winning baseball. With their 3-2 win Thursday, they have officially taken four-out-of-five against the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins and have won six of their last seven overall. Rookie starting pitcher Alex Faedo once again proved he belonged. The former first round pick pitched five strong innings,
After another dominant outing for Tarik Skubal and ongoing signs of life from the offense, the Tigers have taken three or four from the Twins. They can add another one and stretch their winning streak to three games this afternoon, while continuing to ding the high flying, AL Central leading, Minnesota Twins. The pitching matchup
Toledo Mud Hens 5, Columbus Clippers 4 (F/10)(box) The Hens prevailed after a back and forth contest in 10 innings on Wednesday. Brendon Davis had the game winning RBI off former Tigers’ prospect, Anthony Castro, in the top of the 10th, and a dominant two inning save from Derek Law sealed the victory. Nivaldo Rodriguez
Just before the first pitch of tonight’s game, I sacrificed a live chicken, Pedro Cerrano-style, to make sure Detroit starter Tarik Skubal didn’t get hurt.(*) You’re welcome. With seven smothering innings by Skubal giving the Twins the equivalent of a “swirlie,” the Tigers managed to guarantee a series win in the long five-gamer with a
A week ago, the Detroit Tigers dropped two of three games to the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis at Target Field. After taking game one, 7-5, and splitting a doubleheader yesterday, the Tigers have a chance to put away the Twins early in this five-game home series, and their best will be on the mound in
Things did not go as planned in game one of this day-night doubleheader. Rony Garcia was greeted with a barrage of hits early in his start, and the Tigers lost 8-2. However, in the nightcap, they got a little payback, jumping on the Twins early and hanging on despite yet another pitcher injury, this time

We are finally seeing signs of life from the Detroit Tigers’ offense. Most of the lineup still looks pretty atrocious by the numbers, but a few more hitters have finally gotten it going. It’s shown up in the win-loss column as they’ve won five of their last ten, shown a little more punch, and played
The whole Bless You Boys staff wishes you all a good Memorial Day as we remember the sacrifices of service members in our armed forces. It was good to see the club wearing the red poppy on this day. The Tigers’ offense gave Tigers’ fans some things to cheer about on the holiday, racking up
Hey, this game was kind of fun! The Tigers remembered that scoring runs is enjoyable for everyone involved. Beau Brieske was serviceable, with a mix of “oh no” moments and “Hey that was a nine-pitch inning” moments. Luckily the Twins were relying on Dylan Bundy, who was equally mixed in his performance, meaning this was
The Detroit Tigers are still struggling at the plate, but over the past two weeks the club has finally taken advantage of quality pitching to win a a more respectable number of games. It remains to be seen if they’ve stabilized the ship after a six-week debacle to begin the year, but there may be
Nashville Sounds 9, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) After the Mud Hens got up 3-1 in this six game set, the Sounds bounced back with victories on Saturday and Sunday to split the series. On Sunday, Garrett Hill’s second Triple-A start did not go well at all. Nashville got to him for three runs in
