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 – 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. Welcome

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 — The crowd at Comerica Park was on its feet. With the Tigers down 4-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Miguel Cabrera strode to the plate with the bases loaded. Against reliever Dillon Tate, he drove a fastball high into the night air toward the shrubs in center field. “I thought for sure he

Detroit — The crowd at Comerica Park was on its feet. With the Tigers down 4-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Miguel Cabrera strode to the plate with the bases loaded. Against reliever Dillon Tate, he drove a fastball high into the night air toward the shrubs in center field. “I thought for sure he

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. Apparently, Schoop was not joking. Schoop provided the Tigers’ first run in the

By Dana Wakiji |  Special to The Detroit News Detroit — Nothing appeared to bother Jonathan Schoop as he took batting practice, fielded grounders and ran the bases before Thursday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles at Comerica Park. Schoop joked around with his teammates and hugged some former teammates and friends on the Orioles. You

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.

Minneapolis — You want some fast perspective on the magnitude of Miguel Cabrera’s milestone chase? “When Jonathan Schoop got his 900th hit the other day (last Wednesday), it’s like, ‘Don’t worry about it, you’re only like 2,000 behind Miggy. Keep working kid,’” manager AJ Hinch said with a chuckle. Cabrera, who knocked in the game-winning run

Minneapolis — How about bookend grand slams? By opposing catchers? Why not, it’s never happened in a Major League game before. And this seemingly infinite series between the Tigers and Twins (10 games in 17 days) has had just about everything else. And on Tuesday, for the first time in five games, it had the Tigers

Minneapolis — Adrenalin can be your best friend, especially in high-leverage situations when you need to reach back and get a little extra heat on your fastball. The thing about adrenalin, though, it wears off. And sometimes there’s a toll to pay for the extra stress you’ve put on your body while the adrenalin was coursing

Minneapolis — Change-up, 92 mph. Change-up, 93 mph. Change-up, 94 mph. Huh? It seemed like the scoreboard radar gun was on the fritz Monday night at Target Field. Nope. It was just Tigers’ rookie Matt Manning once again making the hard-working data techs at Statcast recalibrate his pitch profile. Just like he did earlier this season

Minneapolis – There’s no solace to be taken from this one and the Tigers weren’t looking for any. They dramatically, improbably, tied the game in the top of the ninth. They survived a sudden-death ending in the bottom of the ninth. But at the end of it all, it was the Twins celebrating a walk-off,

Minneapolis — To look at all Robbie Grossman does for the Tigers on a daily basis, in the clubhouse and on the field, and say he’s struggling seems outrageous. He leads the team with a .352 on-base percentage (tied with Jeimer Candelario). He’s second on the team in home runs (15) and RBIs (46) despite hitting

In an hour, he, Dillon Dingler, Billy Lescher, and nine other Erie SeaWolves teammates were to be on the tee, swinging golf clubs in a Monday scramble. A day earlier, Spencer Torkelson had been working with his buddies playing baseball in a Sunday game that saw Erie whip Binghamton, 9-6. Torkelson had pounded a RBI

The Detroit Tigers can boast another top 100 prospect in their farm system. Baseball America revealed its midseason top 100 on Monday, with the Tigers’ first-round pick in this month’s MLB Draft, Jackson Jobe, squeaking in at No. 96. The Tigers selected Jobe, a right-handed pitcher from Heritage Hall High School in Oklahoma City, at No. 3 overall.
