The Detroit Tigers wrap up their nine-game road swing this weekend at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, as the Guardians host the visitors for an American League Central division rumble.

Toledo Mud Hens 8, Omaha Storm Chasers 2 (box) Keider Montero hung quite a few sliders in this one, and consequently gave up a ton of hits, but he also put on a bit of a masterclass in pitching through traffic. Right from the start there was trouble. With one out in the top of

Afternoon game, let’s just jump into it, no preamble needed. Today’s outing was Reese Olson versus Kenta Maeda, and this was certainly not the Reese Olson we last saw against the Twins. No one is perfect all the time, but this was not what I would qualify as a good start. To start off the

A recent update to the MLB Pipeline Top 30 Prospects for each organization provided a new crop of names for Tigers fans to get familiar with. One of the most interesting risers in Detroit’s system is Justice Bigbie, a 24-year-old outfielder, that jumped from being unranked to No. 21 following strong performances with High-A West

Omaha Storm Chasers 11, Toledo Mud Hens 8 (box) Justyn-Henry Malloy had a huge night at the plate, but Spencer Turnbull and Jack O’Loughlin were both clobbered by the Storm Chasers’ lineup on Tuesday. Turnbull gave up six runs over the first two innings, then settled in to throw three scoreless frames as his offense

I think there’s a lot to be said for knowing this is Miguel Cabrera’s last season in the majors. For years now, Cabrera hasn’t been quite the same, plagued by persistent injury and a stubborn need to keep in the game like a much younger player. I think this season has been a remarkable about-face

The Detroit Tigers got off to a rough start to their nine-game road trip last weekend, dropping two of three to the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park as the American League East division continues to torment the Motor City Kitties.

The finale and rubber match of a three-game weekend series in Boston saw the Tigers drop a 6-3 decision, giving said series to the Sox.

The Tigers got plenty of power on Saturday, as Spencer Torkelson, Eric Haase, and Kerry Carpenter all homered in this one, Carpenter twice. As a result, a solid Matt Manning outing held up to even the series at a game apiece with a 6-2 victory. Matt Manning needed a better outing this time around, and

A rather shaky outing from Tarik Skubal led to defeat on Friday night as the bats were held down by Chris Sale and the Red Sox bullpen. A Triston Casas three-run homer was the difference in the contest as the Red Sox won by a 5-2 score. The Tigers went quickly in the first, with

The latest edition of MLB Pipeline’s prospect rankings have dropped, and in a little bit of a surprise, Max Clark edges out Colt Keith as the Detroit Tigers new top prospect.
