Greg Pace is on his way from his classes at Detroit Edison to the baseball team’s practice. It’s 4 p.m. on a Wednesday as he cuts through the parking lot —still in his school uniform (a white button-up shirt and red tie — passes through the gate and reaches the turf at Chene and Mack, with the

It’s not the two-out, two-run, top-of-the-eighth home run Michael Fulmer gave up that effectively ended the Detroit Tigers‘ game against Oakland Thursday afternoon. It’s not that the A’s — who had one of the worst records in baseball before they met up with the Tigers — just took four of five at Comerica Park. It’s not the

Hope has evaporated. The hole is getting deeper and the misery spreading. The Detroit Tigers lost for the ninth time in nine-straight days on Thursday afternoon — a disgusting display of the wrong kind of consistency — and the mood in the clubhouse was predictable. No talking. No music. Just blank faces. Jonathan Schoop slumped

The Detroit Tigers celebrated Miguel Cabrera’s 3,00th hit in a team win. The offense scored 13 runs and tallied 20 hits in a 13-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies at Comerica Park. Left-hander Tarik Skubal pitched six scoreless innings. The bullpen did the same for the final three frames. The defense posted a zero in the

Beau Brieske has made four big-league starts and is still searching for his first victory. But his 0-2 record doesn’t tell an accurate story of the Detroit Tigers’ young right-hander, who has looked ready for the majors in each of his four outings. Brieske has a 3.86 ERA and 1.190 WHIP over 21 innings. He has lasted

The Detroit Tigers were close, but faltered in the eighth inning for their 16th loss in 19 games. Down 3-0 after the first inning, the Tigers clawed their way back, scoring two in the fifth and one in the sixth to tie it. But this time it was the bullpen — which entered Thursday with a 2.71 ERA that

Sometimes when it rains it pours, and despite the sunny days in downtown Detroit this week, it has been a monsoon at Comerica Park. And unfortunately for the Tigers offense, it’s not unique to their home ballpark. For the better part of three weeks, the dark gray cloud has followed the Tigers wherever they’ve traveled — from

WEDNESDAY’S GAME: Tigers’ slump continues despite Joey Wentz’s debut in 9-0

Joey Wentz didn’t stand a chance in his MLB debut. He didn’t throw enough strikes. The Detroit Tigers didn’t stand a chance either, considering the offense was shut out for the third time in five games. The Tigers lost, 9-0, as Oakland Athletics left-hander Zach Logue — in his third MLB appearance — fired seven scoreless innings with

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson, the 2020 No. 1 overall pick, raised his bat above his head. Then, the 22-year-old tomahawked the lumber into the ground. His bat exploded into two pieces, with the smaller, broken portion shooting near the home plate umpire. The bigger chunk Torkelson dropped in front of home as he jogged to

After Game 1 of Tuesday’s doubleheader, Detroit Tigers outfielder Robbie Grossman officially completed 401 consecutive games without an error, the longest streak by a position player in MLB history. Grossman passed outfielder Nick Markakis, who played 15 seasons for the Baltimore Orioles (2006-14) and Atlanta Braves (2015-20). Markakis’s streak covered 400 games from 2012-15. “I

The Detroit Tigers took one step forward early Tuesday afternoon, snapping their six-game losing streak and actually scored a run for the first time in 28 innings — woo-hoo! Then, they took a step back a few hours later when their bats went silent once again. In the end, they split a doubleheader against the Oakland

There’s no magic cure in sight WELCOME

The Detroit Tigers‘ scoreless streak ended after 28 innings. Two runs in the fifth inning — creating activity in the run column for the first time since Saturday’s third inning against the Houston Astros — jumpstarted the Tigers en route to a 6-0 win in Game 1 of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Oakland Athletics at Comerica Park. “I thought our at-bats

Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo, the No. 18 overall pick in the 2017 draft, took a step forward in his second MLB start. He completed five innings of two-run ball. And the 26-year-old looked comfortable while doing so. Unlike Game 1, the offense didn’t provide run support in Game 2 of Tuesday’s doubleheader.

Detroit Tigers left-hander Joey Wentz learned Sunday — with his parents, Dave and Jenny, in the manager’s office — that he would make his MLB debut on Wednesday at Comerica Park. The Mother’s Day surprise was delivered by Triple-A Toledo manager Lloyd McClendon. “It’s the highest level in the game, so you think about that,” Wentz
