Bless You Boys

On a night dedicated to the youngest baseball players in the world as part of the Little League Classic, it was Detroit’s rookies who willed the Tigers to a 3-2 walk-off win in extra innings over the New York Yankees. Things looked bleak for most of the night. Tarik Skubal was shoving, as usual, but

Spencer Torkelson’s return to the Tigers went very well, and Keider Montero spun a gem as they handed the Yankees a 4-0 loss on Saturday afternoon. Keider Montero got off to a good start, throwing to his familiar catcher from their time in Triple-A, Dillon Dingler. Leadoff man Gleyber Torres fought him through a nine

It’s call-up season in Detroit. On Saturday the Tigers announced that they had recalled first baseman Spencer Torkelson from Triple-A Toledo. First baseman Bligh Madris has been optioned to Toledo in his place. When the Detroit Tigers called up shortstop Trey Sweeney and third baseman Jace Jung on Friday, a popular refrain was that the

The weekend series is here, and brings with it the New York Yankees, with Aaron Judge fresh off clobbering his 300th career home run, and the Bronx Bombers hungry for the postseason, it was going to be a challenging series for the Tigers. They were depending on another bullpen game up against Gerrit Cole, which

The Detroit Tigers have put together a late-season surge that once again has the fans salivating at the thought of cracking the .500 mark and sneaking into the playoffs via a wild-card spot. However, with less than 40 games remaining, the clock is ticking on the boys in blue as AJ Hinch continues his magic

Charlotte Knights 3, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (F/10)(box) Another really good performance from the Mud Hens bullpen went for naught as the offense lost two of its best hitters as Jace Jung and Trey Sweeney were promoted to Detroit. On the other hand, they did add a decent little hitter in one Riley Greene, who

The Detroit Tigers have called up former first-round pick Jace Jung, according to the Detroit Free Press. After calling up Trey Sweeney earlier this evening, reports emerged that Jung was also going to get his first taste of the major leagues. Jung, a 23-year-old infielder, was the No. 12 overall pick in the 2022 draft.

Well this didn’t take long. Shortstop Trey Sweeney, acquired just over two weeks ago in the deal that sent Jack Flaherty to the Los Angeles Dodgers, will be called up for his major league debut during this weekend’s home series against the New York Yankees. Things will come full circle for the 24-year-old, left-handed hitting

Day game, unlikely comeback, kids… baseball might be fun again. Bryce Miller was on the mound for the Mariners in the last game of this three-game series, up against a mixed bag of Tigers’ relievers, with Alex Faedo opening and Kenta Maeda taking the bulk of the innings. In the first, Faedo gave up back-to-back

Toledo Mud Hens 6, Charlotte Knights (F/12)(box) Like their major league brethren, the Mud Hens had to fight their way to an extra innings victory on Wednesday evening. They jumped right out to a lead in the first when Ryan Vilade led off the game with a single and then stole second and third base.

Like Peter Frampton in 1976, the Tigers’ bats Came Alive! on Tuesday night with a whopping fifteen runs. Well, it was a noticeably more pitcher-dominated game on Wednesday night, and until the late innings it didn’t look like the Tigers would even get on the board. But with a two-out home run from a usual-suspect,

Charlotte Knights 3, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) Casey Mize cruised through his rehab outing and Spencer Torkelson went yard but the rest of the offense was quiet as the Knights took the first of six in Charlotte. Mize looked good. He went 3 1⁄3 innings, allowing just a hit, a walk, and one hit

This is the kind of game you can kind of sit back, kick your feet up, and remember how fun it is to watch good baseball. Tarik Skubal was on the mound for the Tigers, up against George Kirby, and yes, it feels like deja vu, but that is sort of how these things go
