ARLINGTON — Never underestimate the power of a single. It’s a point Tigers manager A.J. Hinch made before the team’s 9-8 win against the Rangers on Sunday at Globe Life Field, and a point that was proven by first baseman Harold Castro in the fourth inning. With runners in scoring position and the Tigers leading, 4-0,

Arlington, Texas — What’s frustrating — if anything can be truly frustrating after a road series-winning 9-8 victory against the Texas Rangers, except maybe the last two innings — is that the Tigers haven’t been able to produce this type of offensive performance more frequently this season. The same team that has been shut out a league-most 17 times and
For the first time since July 2019, the Detroit Tigers have scored six or more runs in four consecutive games. Their nine-run effort — on 13 hits and four walks with only eight strikeouts — proved to be just enough for the Tigers in Sunday’s 9-8 victory over the Texas Rangers in the series finale
There were no news bulletins issued. No surprises registered. Jace Jung was doing precisely what the Tigers had expected when they chose him last month, 12 picks deep into the 2022 MLB Draft. He was hitting the ball, hard for the most part, in his last six games for the West Michigan Whitecaps: 8-for-22, with
There is no one like him, not statistically, not skills-wise. There is no apt comparison. Gage Workman, who plays shortstop and third base at Double-A Erie, begs critics to dismiss him. Mostly, it’s because a strikeout rate of 41% is what might be termed “disqualifying” for any remotely serious big-league prospect. But it’s not that
Arlington, Texas — Bennett Vest won’t likely remember the first time he saw his daddy pitch. But there will always be the video. Young Bennett, a little over a month old, was among a group of 30 friends and family members at Globe Life Field on Saturday night when poppa Will Vest entered the game in
Javier Báez‘s defense is magical — until it isn’t. The 29-year-old shortstop, who signed a six-year, $140 million contract with the Detroit Tigers in December, leads the majors with 20 errors, four more than Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager and 12 more than Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa. They were three of the five shortstops
ARLINGTON — Eduardo Rodriguez hasn’t regained his usual form just yet, but he showed he’s getting closer in the Tigers’ 11-2 win against the Rangers on Saturday at Globe Life Field. Rodriguez, who was reinstated from the restricted list on Aug. 19 after three dominant rehab starts between Single-A Lakeland and Triple-A Toledo that saw
Rangers starter Dallas Keuchel entered his first start for the franchise, against the Detroit Tigers, averaging 4.8 walks per nine innings this season. On Saturday, he stayed in the strike zone, and the Tigers made him pay. Each of the first eight hitters in the Detroit lineup had at least one hit off the 2015
Arlington, Texas – Veteran lefty Dallas Keuchel, pitching for his third team this season, has certainly had his moments against Detroit teams over the years. But not too many lately. Maybe the Tigers weren’t exactly licking their chops in anticipation of Keuchel’s debut start with the Rangers Saturday – but they weren’t stressing it, either.
Arlington, Texas – When Javier Baez came to bat with one out in the ninth inning Friday, Riley Greene had just hit a two-run home run to bring the Tigers within a run, 7-6, and Victor Reyes followed with a single. It was the type of script-flipping situation the Tigers envisioned him being in when
Arlington, Texas – There’s no cheering in the press box. You don’t get to root when you wear these media badges — unless it’s for a fast game or a quick decision on a rainout call. But you can appreciate. You can empathize. You can marvel. You can respect. All of the above with Tigers’
When Kerry Carpenter learned of his big-league arrival, Spencer Torkelson was on his way out of Triple-A Toledo’s clubhouse. Torkelson, minor-league dinner in hand, embraced him, patted him on the back and kept walking toward the exit. Before the season ends, the Detroit Tigers hope to give the 2020 No. 1 overall pick an MLB
ARLINGTON — The Tigers saw opposite ends of career nights in their series opener against the Rangers on Friday at Globe Life Field: Riley Greene had a good night, Tyler Alexander had a bad night, and it came together in a 7-6 loss. Alexander entered the opener with a chance to pick up back-to-back wins
Arlington, Texas — Things went askew for Tyler Alexander well before he took the mound for his first start ever at Globe Life Field. He grew up in the Fort Worth area and went to college at TCU. And yet, on the wall in the visitors’ clubhouse where the Rangers have photos of all the current
Tyler Alexander entered Friday having conceded three home runs over 27 innings since returning to the Detroit Tigers‘ starting rotation in late July. He allowed three or fewer runs in all five outings. On Friday, the Texas Rangers crushed Alexander for seven runs over three innings. The left-hander gave up three home runs — one
Right-hander Chi Chi González has triggered an opt-out clause in his minor league contract with the Tigers, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (Twitter link). He returns to the open market. It was a brief run in Detroit for the 30-year-old, who signed one month ago. He started four of five outings with Triple-A
Arlington, Texas — Before Friday’s game, a reporter from The Associated Press wanted to get Miguel Cabrera’s thoughts on Cardinals slugger Paul Goldschmidt, who is making a bid win the Triple Crown. “Why ask me?” Cabrera said. “Because you were the last person to win it (in 2012),” the reporter said. “I already did it,” Cabrera said.
Arlington, Texas — It was just a single. A lousy base hit to right field leading off the seventh inning of a game the Tigers were already well on their way to winning. But it was more than that. It was a real-time illustration of some of the points manager AJ Hinch has been preaching to
