One of the most obvious first efforts of Scott Harris’ tenure as Tigers’ president of baseball operations was the effort to overhaul the scouting department. The club has gotten precious little from their international signings over the years, and a lot of mediocre first round selections undermined Al Avila’s attempt to build a new era

Toledo Mud Hens 8, Iowa Cubs 4 (box) Brent Hurter’s start imploded a bit in the fourth inning, but big nights from Justice Bigbie, Spencer Torkelson, and Jace Jung powered them to victory anyway. That’s a pretty potent group of hitters at the Triple-A level and they showed it in this one. Things were pretty

Iowa Cubs 10, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Toledo Mud Hens 10, Iowa Cubs 8 (F/7)(box) Tuesday’s contest was interrupted by rain in the top of the fifth inning. The Mud Hens were already down 6-0 courtesy of a rough start from Keider Montero. The right-hander could only go three innings after giving up a

Up two games in this three-game set, the Tigers looked to secure a sweep in Arlington on Wednesday. Not only did they not get that done, they lost a starting pitcher to injury in the process. The lone bright spot in a 9-1 drubbing from the Rangers came from Justyn-Henry Malloy, whose first major league

Iowa Cubs 6, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (susp) Keider Montero was pretty wild in this one again, and the Cubs rocked him for six runs over the first two innings. Dillon Dingler led off the top of the fourth with a double. Eddys Leonard singled him to third and Bligh Madris scored him with a

Another day, another round against the Rangers. This time we got to watch Jack Flaherty go up against Dane Dunning. It was a fine night indeed for a certain Zach McKinstry, who finally collected his first home run of the season, but don’t let me get too far ahead of myself. The first inning was

If you want good pitching, tonight was the night to be watching. Nathan Eovaldi was up for the Rangers, and while his leash was short owing to a recent groin injury, he was still dialed in. For the Tigers, it was bona fide ace Tarik Skubal, who continues to make his Cy Young case with

The Detroit Tigers had a solid showing in Beantwon this past weekend having taken two of four from the Boston Red Sox to remain just one game under the .500 mark. The team now travels to the Lone Star State to face the defending world champion Texas Rangers over the next three days. The Rangers

According to a report from Evan Petzold on Sunday evening, the Detroit Tigers are planning to promote outfield prospect Justyn-Henry Malloy to the parent team for his MLB debut on Monday in Texas.

Seeking a split in a four-game extended weekend series in Boston with the Red Sox, the Tigers needed an extra inning and (mostly) solid relief pitching to secure the 8-4 win on Sunday afternoon. Making his eleventh start for the Tigers this year was Casey Mize. Since missing most of 2022 and all of 2023

Saturday’s matchup in Boston was a good one for the Tigers on paper. Reese Olson has pitched great this season, while RHP Cooper Criswell has just been solid. However, Olson has benefited from giving up just one home run on the season, and that trend would not hold up in this one. For one of

Thursday night’s stellar pitching performance from the Tiger staff, as it turned out, did not carry through to Friday night’s game, as Detroit dropped the second matchup of a four-game weekend series in Boston 7-3. Making the start for the Tigers was Kenta Maeda, his ninth of the season. He was on the IL for
