Tarik Skubal’s peripherals say he’s pitched quite a bit better than his 3.77 ERA since his return to action in June. That was tested again early in this one as Tim Anderson led off the game with a single through the infield, and then a grounder in the hole at shortstop from Andrew Benintendi wasn’t

The opener of a three-game weekend series in Detroit against the White Sox started with 6⅓ no-hit innings by the Tigers but ended with a 6-0 loss as the bullpen imploded.

Indianapolis Indians 8, Toledo Mud Hens 6 (box) The Mud Hens’ offense had a good night, but the pitching staff got lit up a bit too much to win on Tuesday. Sean Guenther got the spot start and quickly gave up a pair of runs in the first. The Hens came right back in the

The old adage that you have to get to an ace early on, or not at all, held up again in this one. After two quick outs in the top of the first, Spencer Torkelson pulled a single through the infield and went first to third as Kerry Carpenter did the same. However, Miguel Cabrera

Back in spring training, in our season preview series, the key for Spencer Torkelson to break out after a lackluster rookie campaign was pretty clear.
