This was a rough day for the Tigers. They lost they best hitter to the injured list, and then their pitching staff was mauled by the Twins offense to lose the first game of the homestand by a score of 9-3. After falling apart in June, the Tigers rallied well in July. Unfortunately it’s going

The Hens built an early lead for Lockhart
The Tigers finally concluded their series against the Guardians with a day game on Thursday afternoon. The Tigers used a bullpen day to make their exit while the Guardians called on Gavin Williams. In the first, Colt Keith got a one-out walk, followed by a single from Justyn-Henry Malloy. Both baserunners were left stranded, though.
Toledo Mud Hens 9, Louisville 4 (box) The Mud Hens had another big night at the plate to take down Louisville for the second night in a row. Bryan Sammons gave the Hens a good outing, allowing just a run in the third inning on a Hernan Perez solo shot. In the bottom half, they
The Tigers continued their series against the Cleveland Guardians tonight with Jack Flaherty squaring off against Tanner Bibee. Detroit wasted no time getting on the board, but it would be the only run they’d score all night (spoiler alert). With two outs in the first, Matt Vierling hit a solo home run. Flaherty was also
Toledo Mud Hens 11, Louisville Bats 10 (F/10)(box) Ty Madden once again was absolutely shelled into oblivion in this one. However, the ball was flying and the Hens crushed six home runs to run down the Bats and win in 10 innings. Madden couldn’t get out of the third, after giving seven runs on 10
After a comfortable series-opening win on Monday, the Tigers’ pitching-by-committee couldn’t quite tame the Guardians as they dropped the second game of their four-day weekday series 5-4 in Cleveland. The Tigers had Ol’ Reliable, “TBA,” listed as the starter for most of the day. Eventually it was determined that Tyler Holton would kick things off
The Tigers continued their post-All-Star Break road trip with a visit to see some guys it feels like we just finished playing. In Cleveland it was All-Star Tarik Skubal on the mound against Carlos Carrasco, and the Tigers weren’t about to waste any time getting on the board. In the top of the first. Matt
The future of the Detroit Tigers’ catcher position will likely be decided in the next 10 days. The upcoming trade deadline, Carson Kelly’s impending free agency, and the success of top catching prospect Dillon Dingler this season, will all factor into the decisions that Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg have to make soon. Right now,

St. Paul Saints 8, Toledo Mud Hens 6 (Fri)(box) St. Paul Saints 11, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (Sat)(box) St. Paul Saints 10, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (Sun)(box) This series did not go well.

On Sunday evening, the Tigers announced that their two top position prospects have been promoted to High-A West Michigan.
