Toledo Mud Hens 9, Columbus Clippers 4 (box) Starter Ricardo Pinto had a shaky night, giving up four runs in six innings of work, but it didn’t matter much. A six run fourth inning propelled the Hens to a comfortable victory, as they added on a pair of runs late for insurance. The lineup struggled

This was a long, strange, eventful night in Camden Yards. Initially the game was delayed about two hours for an absolute deluge that had both dugouts flooded and the beat writers posting ominous pictures of the murky skies. When things finally got underway, the game moved pretty briskly until a scary moment for the Tigers

In the series against Cleveland, the Detroit Tigers saw their defense cost them the series in the rubber match on Sunday as Zach Short’s two errors allowed for Cleveland to come back in the game. As a collective, the Tigers are -17 in DRS at shortstop.
The major Detroit Tigers news of the past week was the two-year extension signed by Jonathan Schoop. The move felt bigger than the actual scale of the two-year, $15M pact. Indeed, it’s widely being taken as a sign that the club will finally pursue some serious free agent help and lay the foundation for an
Back when I started the Detroit Tigers Minor League Report, I spent time looking at World Series winners and the core of teams I grew watching. Since the Tigers have drafted high in the last four seasons, there is a good chance a good amount of a potential World Series-winning team would be built with…
The Tigers fell just short of a series win — and chance to close the gap in the standings — against Cleveland, but it was still a respectable showing overall. Detroit continues to play fairly solid baseball, and this upcoming series represents a great chance to earn a few more wins. While the Tigers creep
Some minor league players just jump off a stats page. For the West Michigan Whitecaps, outfielder Eric De La Rosa has been one of those guys this year. Few, if any, Detroit Tigers prospect lists would’ve included De La Rosa before the season. Then again he was hitting well under .150 as a 22 year
There was a segment of the fan base that wanted Jonathan Schoop gone, no matter the cost. Their reasoning was fairly sound—they felt a player on a one-year deal would not be a part of the next Detroit Tigers contender.
Nashville Sounds 4, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Well it didn’t go well for the Hens over the past week. The offense was held down on Sunday in a 4-2 loss, and as a result, the Sounds took the series five games to two. Things got off to a promising start. Kody Clemens struck out
The Detroit Tigers have been a much better team over the past three months than they have been at any time in the past five seasons. From May 8, 2021 through August 7, 2021, their 44- 34 won-loss record is fifth in the American league, which would be just about good enough for a wild
The two heavyweight teams traded killer blows for the first two games of the brutal, three-game early-August showdown. Who would, on Sunday, be crowned the series victor, the ultimate champion of the baseball world? Aww, who am I kidding? This is the AL Central. We’re flyweights at best around here; maybe welterweights if we’ve just
The Detroit Tigers emerged victorious from a nail-biter on Saturday night behind Tyler Alexander’s best outing of the season to even the weekend series with the Cleveland Indians in a 2-1 road victory. The win pulled the good guys within a game-and-a-half of the Guardians for second place in the American League Central Division and
After a “too little, too late” comeback attempt on Friday night, the Tigers and the Future-Guardians started the second game of their three-game series about an hour late due to some rain passing through the area. When that stopped, the Tiger bullpen pulled off a magic act that would’ve made David Copperfield proud, stranding a

The Detroit Tigers announced on Saturday that they’ve agree to a two-year extension with infielder Jonathan Schoop. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that the deal is worth $15M, and contains a player opt out clause after the 2022 season. Schoop was a journeyman second baseman who’d never put together back-to-back offensive seasons before the
The Detroit Tigers have had three straight winning months for the first time since 2016 and as a result of this, the fans are coming back to watch. According to Maury Brown of Forbes.com ($), the Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, LA Dodgers, and Oakland A’s are the only…
The battle for second place in the American League East Division is on and, unfortunately, the Traffic Guardians took round one against the Detroit Tigers on Friday night, 6-1, after Matt Manning struggled in yet another outing. The loss widened Cleveland’s lead to 2.5 games as the two teams pulled even in the win column,
Recent comments by Tigers’ owner Chris Ilitch suggest that the Tigers might finally be ready to spend some real money in free agency this coming off season have gotten fans and local media talking about what might, or might not happen before the 2022 season begins. The team’s greatest needs are at shortstop where they
Matt Manning couldn’t command anything, and Cleveland racked up six runs against him while smothering the Tigers’ offense to win 6-1. A frustratingly typical night for the Kitties at Progressive Field. The Detroit Tigers so rarely seem to jump out to a lead in Cleveland, and they quickly blew an opportunity to do so on
