The Tigers squared off in a series opener against old rivals the Cleveland Guardians today, with Jack Flaherty up against Triston McKenzie. Riley Greene wasted no time, hitting a solo home run in the first at-bat of the game. The next three batters went down in order, but the Tigers were first on the board.

Well, you can’t say it hasn’t been an interesting start. The team has done reasonably well, but the offense has not. The Detroit Tigers have scored 133 runs through 34 games of the 2024 season. That ranks them 20th of 30 major league teams. Does it feel worse than that? Despite a nice 18-16 record
The Nike City Connect alternate uniforms for the Detroit Tigers were released on Monday. While I’m not much of a uniform guy and tend to think messing with the classic jersey is slightly blasphemous when you have one of the most iconic logos and uniforms in professional sports, plenty of others are really into the
Things came to a screeching halt for the Detroit Tigers this past weekend as the New York Yankees defended their home turf with a three-game sweep to end the visitors’ four-series winning streak. AJ Hinch’s squad had a chance to prevail in all of them but Bronx Bombers simply had more to offer on offense.

Remember that one six-word story? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Yeah, that’s pretty sad, but I have one that’s even worse for you: “Skubal strikes out twelve, Tigers lose.” Tigers lose, 5-2, and are swept out of New York. Detroit will take an 18-16 record to Progressive Field to face the division-leading Cleveland Guardians;

After Friday night’s offense-less debacle of a walk-off loss, Saturday afternoon brought some early fireworks, some horrific and impactful ball-and-strike calls, and a 5-3 Tiger defeat. Alabama’s own Casey Mize made his sixth start for the Tigers. He’s been solid this year so far, coming off injury, with a typical outing seeing him pitch five
That was a frustrating loss, but one you could feel brewing as the Tigers went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position, failing to score with the bases loaded twice. Jason Foley continued to struggle, and the Yankees walked this one off in the bottom of the ninth. Reese Olson was really good once again, and
Things keep rolling along for the Detroit Tigers, who have now earned series wins in their last four matchups dating back to a three-gamer at the Minnesota Twins in mid-April. Since then, the Olde English D has prevailed over the Tampa Bay Rays (away), Kansas City Royals (home) and the St. Louis Cardinals (home). Who
Battles for the fifth and final spot in the Detroit Tigers starting rotation are an annual staple of spring training down at Joker Marchant Stadium. This year’s competition, however, sticks out from years past, both for the depth of talent and the fact that it essentially ended in a stalemate. While it became clear early
The month of May marks roughly the halfway point in the 2024 draft cycle, which has about two and a half months left. The Detroit Tigers were awarded the eleventh pick in this year’s MLB Draft lottery, which is a pretty good place to be picking in the upcoming class. There’s a massive amount of

Columbus Clippers 14, Toledo Mud Hens 8 (box) A rough Triple-A debut was too much for a pair of Akil Baddoo homers and a good day for the offense overall to overcome. The Hens came right out and provided their young starting pitcher a nice lead to work with. Akil Baddoo crushed the second pitch
