The Detroit Tigers return home this week after a West Coast road swing that saw the team beat the Seattle Mariners but lose to the San Francisco Giants in a pair of three-game series, respectively. AJ Hinch’s squad now returns home to host the former team for a three-gamer inside Comerica Park before the New

On Friday, they held off the Shrimp

The finale of a three-game weekend series in San Francisco featured a first major-league home run, a pair of rundowns in the same inning, and a 5-4 Tigers victory on Sunday afternoon. A pair of late innings loses hurt, and yet the Tigers still come away with a .500 road trip despite the lengthy injured

We’ve been pretty frustrated with the Tigers lack of high leverage relief this season, but with the pitching staff racked with injuries it’s impressive that they continue to keep them in games. Problem is the lineup is full of Triple-A players again, and the Giants had little trouble shutting them down on Saturday to take

The Tigers built a little lead early and got really good work from Beau Brieske and solid work from Kenta Maeda to piece together a bullpen game. Unfortunately, the depleted Tigers offense couldn’t add on any runs, and big mistakes from Colt Keith and Jason Foley in the ninth coughed up the lead and the

Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Casey Mize’s rehab outing went off without a hitch, but Austin Bergner struggled and the Hens offense was pretty quiet to go down two games to one in the series. Mize was up to 98.2 mph with his fourseamer, and spun 2 1⁄3 scoreless innings. He

The Tigers were ready to end their three-game series in Seattle, and hoping to head off with a sweep under their belts. The high from Parker Meadows’ game-saving catch was still being felt tonight, and the team was enthusiastic, though runs would ultimately take a long time to manifest for either team. The Tigers were

Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (box) Ty Madden had one of the crazier games you’ll ever seen, and the offense was a little quiet as the Jumbo Shrimp evened the series. It was another Jekyll and Hyde performance from Madden. For half the game, he was overpowering, racking up 11 strikeouts on

Another late night in Seattle, this time with Tarik Skubal getting the nod for the Tigers, facing off against Geroge Kirby for the Mariners. The Tigers brought their bats tonight, but the game remained close throughout. Wenceel Perez wasted no time getting the Tigers on the board with a leadoff solo homer in the first.

Toledo Mud Hens 9, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 2 (box) It’s hard not to feel a bit somber watching this one without Jim Weber calling the game. Still, it is nice to see a fresh opponent in the Miami Marlins Triple-A squad. Trey Sweeney stayed hot and other than newly traded second baseman Connor Norby, the

Welcome to the late-night toil of a classic West Coast road trip, as the Tigers go for three against the Mariner this week. Tonight we saw Keider Montero up against Luis Castillo, and if you can say one thing for this game: they knew we all wanted to go to bed early, because this was
