The Detroit Tigers hit the road this week for a six-game West Coast trip that will first take them to play three against the Seattle Mariners starting Tuesday night. After a solid showing for much of July, AJ Hinch’s squad has dropped seven of their last nine games — and with the trade deadline now

Toledo Mud Hens 5, Indianapolis Indians 4 (Fri)(box) Toledo Mud Hens 8, Indianapolis Indians 7 (Sat)(F/10)(box) Toledo Mud Hens 10, Indianapolis Indians 8 (Sun)(box) The Mud Hens rallied back in this series after losing the first three games to earn a split with three hard fought victories over the weekend. On Friday night, Ty Madden

After Saturday night’s thrilling, extra-inning, come-from-behind, down-to-their-last-strike win, the Tigers looked to carry that momentum into the Sunday afternoon finale of their four-game series against the visiting Kansas City Royals. As it turned out, the visiting team had some late comeback heroics of their own as the Royals stunned the Tigers with a 3-2 win.

Despite the Tigers’ lack of a full rotation, this was a very well pitched game on both sides. The Royals built a slim lead in the middle innings against Kenta Maeda, but the Tigers came up with an inspired rally in the bottom of the ninth to send this to extras. It took a pair

After dropping Thursday night’s contest against the Royals, the Tigers had a close one for a while, but things got out of hand in a hurry: a 3-2 game was a 9-2 game in the blink of an eye. The man who needs no introduction, Tarik Skubal, started for the Tigers. Since, as mentioned, he

Indianapolis Indians 7, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Spencer Torkelson homered again in this one, but it wasn’t enough as a close game was blown open in the eighth by Indy. Like the Tigers, the Hens pitching staff is shot, so it was another bullpen game for them as well. Hard to win like this.

Welcome to August, post trade deadline, and time to see what the rest of the year is going to to look like. The Tigers are finally done with the Guardians, but they do still have other division rivals on the schedule, starting with a weekend series against the Royals. Seth Lugo was on the mound

Indianapolis Indians 7, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) Lael Lockhart Jr. had a tough outing and only a late rally kept this from looking like a beatdown in the box score. The left-hander’s high-80’s fastball has zero room for error against better hitters and Indy proved it out by launching a pair of home runs

A new month begins on Thursday as the Detroit Tigers look to kick off the post-trade deadline portion of their campaign with a winning effort against the visiting Kansas City Royals, who are in town for a four-game series this weekend. The Motor City Kitties wrapped up July on a downswing, dropping a pair to

Trading for the 2024 season has officially closed. As expected, the Detroit Tigers dealt away resurgent starting pitcher Jack Flaherty to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Catcher Carson Kelly and relief arm Andrew Chafin were shipped off as well, both joining the Texas Rangers in separate deals. Finally, Mark Canha was flipped to the San Francisco

Let’s get the important part out of the way: today, on July 30, 2024, the Detroit Tigers did not trade ace starting pitcher Tarik Skubal. Thank you for coming; see you all next year! Ok, there’s more, but the most important note from the trade deadline is that they did not trade Tarik Skubal at

Indianapolis Indians 7, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) The Hens pitching staff is nearly as depleted as the Tigers right now, and another bullpen day did not go well. The offense rallied late but couldn’t close the deal as they lost the first of the series in Indy. The Indians built an early lead off

After the trade that sent Jack Flaherty to the Dodgers was announced right at 5:59 p.m. ET, the Detroit Tigers had one more deal to announce. They moved 1B/OF Mark Canha to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for 21-year-old right-hander Eric Silva. Canha did a nice job for the Tigers overall, providing them with

Well gang, the 2024 Major League Baseball trade deadline has come and gone. Among the moves the Detroit Tigers made ahead of the 6 p.m. ET cutoff was sending LHP Andrew Chafin to the Texas Rangers for RHP Joseph Montalvo and RHP Chase Lee in exchange. They also sent catcher Carson Kelly to Arlington for
