But despite getting plenty of runners on base, they only scored once all night, dropping the game 4-1. Eduardo Rodriguez made his tenth start of the season for the

The Detroit Tigers have been surprisingly entertaining to follow thus far in the 2023 MLB campaign which nears the one-third mark of the season. The Motor City Kitties have far from what would typically be considered a competitive roster and also play in the worst division big leagues, but they still have been hovering near

For much of Monday night’s contest with the Kansas City Royals, the Tigers looked like they’d go the way of the series in Washington. They got out to two leads and lost them both, while stranding a ton of baserunners. But a huge bases-clearing knock from Javier Báez saved the day as the Tigers won

The Detroit Tigers stumbled over the weekend in the nation’s capital, dropping two of three to the Washington Nationals after taking the series opener on Friday night.

The Tigers fell to the Nationals 6-4 in the rubbermatch from DC on Sunday afternoon. In what is becoming an unfortunate theme, at no point in his start was Joey Wentz able to get consistent outs.

After racing out to an eight-run lead last night and then letting the Nationals cut the deficit to two runs before hanging on for a high-stress win late, the Detroit Tigers looked to take their bats to Patrick Corbin in this one.

I know there’s no such thing as a “safe” lead in baseball, but in the sixth inning of this game the Tigers sure seemed to have things stacked in their favor. Matt Boyd was throwing a no-hitter, the Tigers were up by eight runs, and for a moment it felt like losing was impossible. Friends,
