Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 9, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Brant Hurter was knocked out early in this one, and the bullpen didn’t do much better.

After splitting a doubleheader on Wednesday at home against Pittsburgh, the Tigers hit the road (with Jack; see below) for the first of four games in an extended weekend series in Boston against the Red Sox. Detroit was victorious in the first game with a 5-0 shutout win. The aforementioned Jack Flaherty made his eleventh

The Detroit Tigers completed their successful six-game homestand this week by splitting a doubleheader on Wednesday with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Couple that with a 3-1 series win over the Toronto Blue Jays before — which snapped a five-game losing streak — and the Motor City Kitties appear to be back on the upswing. AJ Hinch’s

The Tigers have given fans every reason to have faith in their ability to pack the minor league system with quality pitching talent. Now, it looks like they found another gem last summer when they drafted Jaden Hamm in the fifth round. The righty from Middle Tennessee State had moderate draft buzz, but as a

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 11, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Ty Madden’s introduction to the Triple-A level has been rough, and he was rocked in this one for seven runs, six earned. The Hens were down big early and never got back in the game. A pair of walks started Madden’s outing, and a three-run shot with

Thanks to the rain out on Tuesday, the Tigers played a double-header against the Pirates on Wednesday and the teams actually managed to split the series evenly with a game apiece. As fun as a Paul Skenes/Tarik Skubal matchup would have been to watch, the first outing was Skubal vs. Jared Jones. The most vital

Toledo Mud Hens 10, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 0 (box) Dillon Dingler and Parker Meadows remained red hot in this one as a quarter of the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen started this one and the Hens staff overall had their way with the RailRiders.

With Tuesday’s game rescheduled into a Wednesday straight doubleheader, the Detroit Tigers appear ready to promoted right-handed pitcher Keider Montero for his first look at the major leagues. The question is still whether he’ll start Game 2, moving Jack Flaherty back a day, or simply be available in the bullpen as depth. Tarik Skubal vs.

The Detroit Tigers had a successful holiday weekend, taking three of four from the visiting Toronto Blue Jays — including three-straight wins to clinch the series — in a much-needed course correction after dropping five-straight games that sent them under the .500 mark. Now just a game below the hallowed line of mediocrity, the Motor

We often use the 40 game mark as the point of reassessing a major league team. The minor league season starts a few weeks later, other than at the Triple-A level, so Memorial Day weekend seems as good a time as any for a quick update on how the Tigers top prospects are doing. Sorry

In hindsight, the 11:35 a.m. start time was likely an omen for the circus of a baseball game that took place on the Roku Channel Sunday morning/afternoon between the Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays.

The Tigers still didn’t give Reese Olson much run support, but he was excellent yet again and this time the bullpen held on to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead in the series. Last time on the mound, we saw Reese Olson get drilled in the hip by Michael Massey of the Royals. While reports
