After an off-day (I imagine) spent taking an old-timey steam train from Detroit to Baltimore, with the players playing gin-rummy and taking turns bashing out Tin Pan Alley songs on an upright piano, the Tigers ran headlong into the Orioles’ hotter-than-hot pitching. Coming into the game they’d shut out opponents for 26 straight innings, but

Toledo Mud Hens 8, Columbus Clippers 3 (box) The Mud Hens made it three in a row over the Clippers on Thursday afternoon. Starter Ashton Goudeau put together a strong start and the power from the Hens offense was plentiful. The Hens started building a lead in the top of the second. Donny Sands walked

Do not look now, but the Detroit Tigers are suddenly a very watchable team after extending their winning streak to five games on Tuesday against the visiting Cleveland Guardians. Unfortunately, the Olde English D fell short in the final game Wednesday night but still had the game within reach until the final out. This is

Toledo Mud Hens 5, Columbus Clippers 3 (box) Starter Reese Olson couldn’t get out of the first inning, but the Hens bullpen shut down the Clippers over the next eighth innings. The offense clawed their way back into the game and eventually took over make it two straight over Columbus. The offense got on the

Detroit Tigers’ pitchers could only get José Ramirez out so many times before getting crushed. Going back to game two of Tuesday’s doubleheader, Detroit hurlers had retired the Cleveland slugger seven-straight times, including five strikeouts — one of which came via pitch clock violation. They couldn’t keep him down forever, though, as Ramirez took Detroit

Toledo Mud Hens 9, Columbus Clippers 4 (box) Home runs from Ryan Kreidler and Zack Short built an early lead and the pitching staff had a solid night as the Mud Hens went into Columbus and took the first of six. Brenan Hanifee punched out seven in four innings of one run ball, and the

Ah, baseball. Just a week ago, the claws were out and sports talk radio was taking call after call from furious fans. Now here are the Tigers, winners of five straight after a spectacular outing from Eduardo Rodriguez and a timely solo shot from Riley Greene helped them sweep the doubleheader. The offense is still

The flaws remain obvious, but the Detroit Tigers are getting it done recently. They missed some chances in the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader with Cleveland, but when they needed a hero, Kerry Carpenter was there. The Tigers’ outfielder remained red-hot, launching a solo shot into the seats in right field for the club’s four

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez made a boner on the basepaths last Thursday against the Blue Jays in Toronto that warranted a benching, which appears to have given the team a collective kick in the pants. With one out in the second inning of a scoreless game, the 10-year veteran launched a drive to right

The Detroit Tigers have won three games in a row after sweeping two games from the visiting San Francisco Giants. Sure, the third game on Sunday was rained out, but I do not make the rules and winning X out of X games always equals a sweep. Fans of the Olde English D have to

Toledo Mud Hens, Louisville Bats (Sunday)(cancelled) Louisville Bats 7, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (Saturday)(box) Alex Faedo put together a decent outing, but the bats were pretty quiet on Saturday. Still, the Hens took four out of five in the shortened series and hold a 9-5 record to date. Faedo only allowed three hits and a

The Tigers got incredibly lucky today with thanks to not one but THREE errors from Brandon Crawford, and some VERY successful at-bats, but man alive what a fun game. But, we’re getting ahead of ourselves, so let’s take a look at how the game unfolded. Lorenzen was on the mound for the Tigers and didn’t

Scott Harris and his Detroit Tigers welcomed in his old club, the San Francisco Giants on Friday night. They got the victory, but it was an eleven inning marathon displaying most of the team’s weaknesses that was finally punctuated by a three-run walkoff blast from Nick Maton. The theme in this one early on was

The Detroit Tigers return home after a three-game visit with the Toronto Blue Jays, in which they managed to take the final game of the series to prevent the sweep. Now back in the friendly confines of Comerica Park, the Motor City Kitties turn their attention to their first interleague matchup of the young season

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch and shortstop Javier Báez generally seem to enjoy a good relationship together. They even spent a few days together at Báez’s home in Puerto Rico over the offseason to get to know each other better outside of the clubhouse. With five years left on Báez’s contract unless he opts-out this

Toledo Mud Hens 13, Louisville Bats 6 (box) Reese Olson got knocked around early for the second straight outing, but the Hens’ offense erupted for nine runs in a three-inning stretch late to come back and ultimately blow out the Bats on Thursday. Olson struggled and couldn’t get through the fourth inning, giving up five

The Detroit Tigers’ 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night will be remembered less for the result and more for the fate of Detroit’s well-paid, highly-criticized shortstop, Javier Báez. Báez — who entered Thursday’s game on a 4-for-40 skid this season — was demoted to the six spot in the lineup. He

The Tigers played another pretty solid seven innings, but the bullpen blew a lead once again and they eventually lost in the tenth inning to fall to 2-9 on the young season. This pitching matchup definitely didn’t favor the Tigers, with Kevin Gausman at home and making his third start after a pair of shutout
