The Detroit Tigers wrapped up its Windy City road trip on Monday with a four-game sweep of the lowly Chicago White Sox putting the team at the .500 mark late in the season for the first time in what seems like forever. AJ Hinch’s squad has been hitting on all cylinders since their series at

The Tigers saddled up for their final game of the Chicago series, meanwhile Ty Madden’s entire extended family took over a full section of Guaranteed Rate Field. Madden, of course, was making his major league debut for the Tigers, and opposing him for the White Sox was Davis Martin. In the top of the first,

After Friday’s late-inning heroics and Saturday’s easy victory, could the Tigers make it three in a row in their four-game wrap-around series at Comiskey New Comiskey US Cellular Guaranteed Rate Field, thus handing the home team their hundredth loss on the year? (When you think about it, a baseball stadium named after an insurance company

When Tarik Skubal is at his best, the Detroit Tigers only need 3-4 runs to win a game. However, it quickly became apparent that Saturday wasn’t one of those days. Skubal was not his usual perfect self, allowing three runs and four consecutive hits in the third inning. But none of that mattered as Detroit

The Tigers made a very short trip south from Wrigley to… is it Guaranteed Rate still? Yes. Anyway, the Tigers kicked off their next Chicago series against the White Sox, with the hope that the mightily struggling club might be easy foes for the weekend. The White Sox proved that, for one day anyway, they

The Detroit Tigers head to the south side of the Windy City this weekend to take on the Chicago White Sox for a four-game series this weekend after dropping two of three in the north side to the Chicago Cubs this week. The Motor City Kitties are still within striking distance of the .500 mark,

Here’s a question for the ages: is it still “getaway day” if the team is just moving to a different stadium in the same city? Mull over that while I break down this relatively miserable game made only slightly more bearable by the presence of Dan Dickerson in the TV booth. The Cubs had Justin

No one is mistaking the Detroit Tigers for a juggernaut just yet, but this team has something going on and the future is looking brighter and brighter since the All-Star break. The team has held its own despite major injuries to the starting rotation and the outfield. Rookies have been big contributors to this relative

Game Two of the three-game weekday series at Wrigley Field saw a bunch of young Tiger hitters make a whole lot of noise in an 8-2 victory on Wednesday over the Cubs. Getting the pseudostart tonight was Beau Brieske. He gave the Tigers three gorgeous, hitless innings in San Francisco on August 9, striking out

The Tigers headed to the Windy City for a two-team road trip, with three games against the Cubs to start the week, and a four-game weekend series against the White Sox to round it off.
