Detroit — After two tough losses to the team with the third lowest winning percentage in baseball, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs on the bases in the last two innings of both games, a win wasn’t mandatory for the Tigers, but it was — let’s call it soothing. With the bullpen putting up five straight zeros,

No blaming those who follow Detroit baseball for wondering if, perchance, September might bring a sneak peek at, say, Riley Greene, or maybe Spencer Torkelson, when teams have the option of calling up extras for their big-league rosters. But it isn’t going to happen. Greene and Torkelson, as well as Dillon Dingler, and shortstop Ryan

Detroit — He’s 5-foot-10, 180 pounds and if you think he’s got sneaky power with a baseball bat in his hands, you should see him on a tee box with a driver in his hands. He can straight bomb it. “That gets me in trouble, too,” Tigers shortstop Zack Short said before the Tigers completed their

Detroit — Rookie right-hander Matt Manning was out of the sixth inning with no damage, about to walk off the mound with a solid, quality start, keeping the Tigers down by just one skinny run. But what should have been an inning-ending 6-4 fielder’s choice ended up igniting a three-run inning and sending the Orioles to

Detroit — Barring any setbacks physically, infielders Niko Goodrum (calf) and Isaac Paredes (hip) will soon be ready for activation off the injured list. Both are starting rehab assignments with Triple-A Toledo, both have the next five to seven days mapped out. After that, it’s decision time for manager AJ Hinch and the Tigers. “The more the

Detroit – Back in 2019, when he was pitching on the same Erie Seawolves staff as Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal and Matt Manning, never could he have imagined that the first time he pitched at Comerica Park it would be against the Tigers, with so many of his Double-A mates in the opposite dugout.

Los Angeles — The World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers pulled off a monster deal for ace Max Scherzer and All-Star shortstop Trea Turner, getting the dynamic duo from the Washington Nationals shortly before Friday’s trade deadline.

Detroit — At Detroit Country Day, Saborn Campbell did a pair of research projects on the history of the Negro Leagues. He got a pair of A’s. And on Friday at Comerica Park, Campbell got a front-row seat at living history, particularly the past, present and future — he’s the future — of Black baseball in the city

Detroit  —  It wasn’t Jonathan Schoop. It wasn’t Jose Cisnero. Although those were the two Tigers most talked about in trade rumors, it was lefty Daniel Norris who ended up having a more robust market. The Tigers, at about 1:30 p.m. Friday, sent Norris to the Milwaukee Brewers for right-handed pitching prospect Reese Olson. Norris,

By Dana Wakiji |  Special to The Detroit News Detroit — Before Thursday night’s game, Jonathan Schoop said he and Miguel Cabrera, who sat out Wednesday’s 17-run offensive outburst in Minnesota, would deliver everything they would have done had they played the day before.

Minneapolis —  Before the game Wednesday, it was brought to manager AJ Hinch’s attention that Akil Baddoo might be generating some American League Rookie of the Year consideration. “When it starts to generate it will be too late,” Hinch said. “You can put Casey (Mize) and (Eric) Haase in there too. We’ve got three guys that are standing

Minneapolis — They say familiarity breeds contempt, but in the case of the Tigers and Twins, who finished off a set of 10 games in 18 games Wednesday, it’s mostly bred chaos. Four of the games went extra innings. The Tigers hit ninth-inning, game-tying home runs in three of them and were 1-2 in those games.
