The Detroit Tigers are coming home this week, and the welcome probably isn’t going to be real warm after getting swept in a four-game set with the Houston Astros. Things couldn’t be going any worse after the Tigers entered the season looking to establish themselves as a solid team set up to contend in the

Toledo Mud Hens 7, Worcester Red Sox 2 (box)(Sunday) It was a good weekend for the Hens. They welcomed in the Red Sox for six last week, and after two early losses came back to win four in a row to take the series. Chase Anderson put together a quality start on Friday night. He

This Mother’s Day, if there’s anything I wish, it’s that your mother isn’t a Detroit Tigers fan. If she is, then today’s loss probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise to her, but it’s definitely not the gift she might have wanted on her big day. While both teams donned the newest edition of

Tough times continued for the Detroit Tigers on Saturday, dropping their fourth-straight game and third-in-a-row against the Houston Astros, 3-2, as the offense remains ice cold. The good guys did finally get an encouraging outing out of their big offseason free-agent acquisition, Eduardo Rodriguez, who spun 6 2⁄3 innings of one-run ball while striking out

No, it’s not Groundhog Day. The Detroit Tigers are just very bad and somehow managed to lose a game by the same score against the same opponent for a third-consecutive game. The Houston Astros secured the series win over the Tigers on Saturday by the familiar score of 3-2, and Detroit will need to break

The Detroit Tigers are back on the schneid once again after losing the second game of a doubleheader on Wednesday to the Pittsburgh Pirates before dropping the first two of a four-game series against the Houston Astros on Thursday and Friday nights. Their most recent loss saw another solid effort on the mound go to

Beau Brieske’s third major league start was another decent effort, but once again a defensive mistake and a quiet offense sank the Tigers’ chances as the Astros make it two in a row with a 3-2 victory on Friday night. The Tigers got another taste of a tight, well-pitched contest in this one, the kind

The Detroit Tigers will be looking for revenge on Friday night against the Houston Astros for a series-opening loss inflicted the previous evening, in which hometown ‘Stros outlasted the visiting Motor City Kitties for a 3-2 victory. After surrendering a home run on the very first pitch he threw, Tarik Skubal settled in for six

When the Tigers inked Eduardo Rodriguez to a contract during the offseason, they were betting on his strong underlying statistics translating to high quality innings at the top of the rotation. So far, that has not been the case. Through 25 2⁄3 innings, he has a 5.33 ERA but a 3.75 FIP with a 20.7

Worcester Red Sox 5, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (Gm 1)(F/7)(box) Elvin Rodriguez struggled in this one, and a late flurry from the Hens wasn’t enough as they dropped Game 1 of Thursday’s doubleheader.

Thursday night’s Detroit Tigers’ game was an emotional roller coaster. Miguel Cabrera continued to add to his legacy, the pitching dominated up until the final inning and the offense was listless until they went down to their final strike. They ended the night, though, with a 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros. It didn’t take

Typically when we go into Behind Enemy Lines were talking one-on-one with a contributor from another team site, or a beat writer like Alex Stumpf earlier this week. However, in this next installment, things are a little different. We reached out to The Crawfish Boxes, the SB Nation Astros site, and they decided to make

One of the tougher stretches of games on the schedule has arrived at exactly the wrong time. With three of their Opening Day starters already on the injured list, and a disastrous power outage from the offense, the 2022 Tigers are dangerously close to fumbling away even an outside shot at a playoff spot before

The Tigers bullpen couldn’t bail out their punchless offense in this one. Alex Faedo did fine in his major league debut, but the offense was once again a study in futility and the bullpen fell apart late to put this one out of reach as the Pirates went on to win 7-2, splitting the doubleheader.

Once again, the Tigers got pretty good work from their bullpen, while struggling at the plate. Still, the offense took advantage of some Pirates mistakes, they played good defense, and ultimately the Tigers took Game 1 by a score of 3-2 on Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park. Michael Pineda got the start, and he had

You know the drill, the Tigers bats, rough start, blah, blah, blah, need a win. Enough. Let’s talk about the rookie on the mound in game two of Wednesday’s doubleheader with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Mr. Alex Faedo. Drafted with the 18th overall pick in the 2017 draft, the 26-year-old was part of the “big four”
