St. Paul Saints 4, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Jack O’Loughlin got roughed up a bit in this one, but he didn’t get much help either. A bullpen day for the Saints had veteran MLB starter Chris Paddack in for three innings, and the Mud Hens lineup couldn’t get anything going against an effectively wild

The Tigers had the early lead in this one, but they couldn’t build on it. Instead the relentless Dodgers offense couldn’t be denied in the end. After a Hinch bullpen decision went bad in the eighth, Max Muncy walked it off against Alex Lange on a single and a bang-bang play at the plate. Things

It was a late-night bummer in Dodgertown, as the Tigers dropped their first game to the Dodgers. So if you wisely decided to go to bed rather than watching this, then congrats, you made the right decision. The outing saw Eduardo Rodriguez face the club he turned down during trade season, up against Lance Lynn,

Everywhere you look these days, the Detroit Tigers seem to be producing pitching talent. The latest breakout this season comes from 25-year-old right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long. Acquired from the Minnesota Twins at the 2022 trade deadline for reliever Michael Fulmer, Gipson-Long arrived looking like a sixth starter candidate with quality secondary pitches but a mediocre fastball.

The Detroit Tigers kicked off their 10-game west coast road swing with a sweep of the Los Angeles Angels last weekend as the season quickly wanes. AJ Hinch’s squad looked solid in all three wins, though the opponent has now clearly mailed in a season that was expected to feature a playoff appearance. The victories

Toledo Mud Hens 5, Columbus Clippers 1 (Fri)(box) Toledo Mud Hens 5, Columbus Clippers 2 (Sat)(box) Columbus Clippers 6, Toledo Mud Hens 0 (Sun)(box) The Toledo Mud Hens took down the Clippers on Friday and Saturday to win the series before losing Sunday’s contest. They’ll now head out on the road for their final series

The Tigers went for a weekend three-game sweep in Los Angeles — well, really, Anaheim, but are you a geographer, punk? — and they got it with a 5-3 win. It was Detroit’s first road sweep of the Angels in thirty years. It was a day of openers: for the Tigers, Miguel Díaz, and for

The Tigers nearly blew this one after leading the entire game. Alex Lange melted down in the ninth inning, but Will Vest and Miguel Cabrera were there to pick him up. The Tigers won in 10 innings by a 5-4 score, and they’ll go for the sweep on Sunday. The big question heading into Saturday

The Tigers have seemed to have their stuff together these last few weeks and it’s kind of nice to see glimpses of the team to come as you watch them figure it out on the field. Tonight’s outing (late outing) and the Tigers’ last West coast trip of the season was another fun one to

The Detroit Tigers struggled in the second leg of its six-game homestand last week to the Cincinnati Reds, who came into Comerica Park and took two of three from the good guys. However, the one win they did manage to grab gave them 67 on the year — one better than last season with 16

Toledo Mud Hens 8, Columbus Clippers 3 (box) The Mud Hens seized a 2-1 lead in this series with a huge display of power from Ryan Kreidler and strong work from the bullpen in this one. Spencer Turnbull did make his rehab appearance, so that seems like a positive development. However, it did not go

The Tigers had themselves a nice outing against the Reds this afternoon with Reese Olson taking the mound against a general bullpen day (though the last two games already felt like bullpen days given how many relievers the Reds went through). So, let’s take a look at how things went for the Tigers. Olson had

Toledo Mud Hens 5, Columbus Clippers 3 (box) Jack O’Loughlin gave the Mud Hens a good start on Wednesday. They took advantage, building an early lead and making it hold up late. O’Loughlin allowed a run in four innings of work, striking out five to three hits and two walks. He got a little wild

Apparently neither the Tigers’ nor the Reds’ pitching staffs could find the plate with both hands, a flashlight and a map. In the end, Cincinnati came out the victor in Walkfest ‘23 by a 4-3 score. Eduardo Rodriguez made his 23rd start for Detroit. Did you know this year is Rodriguez’s best year in terms
