Nobody thought the Detroit Tigers would be where they are right now, this late in the season. But here they are, mathematically tied for the final wild card spot with just nine games remaining while sitting seven games over the .500 mark entering the weekend. AJ Hinch’s squad really needed a sweep of the Kansas
Columbus Clippers 2, Toledo Mud Hens 0 (box) The Hens got no-hit in this one as the Clippers’ Connor Gillespie spun five no-hit innings with seven strikeouts, and their bullpen took it the rest of the way. Troy Watson threw a good five innings for Toledo in the loss. He gave up the game winning

He no-hit
Welcome back to Kaufmann stadium, where the Tigers were riding the high of their Monday night win and hungry to keep the wins coming as they eye the third wild card spot. Cole Ragans was on the mound for the Royals, and none other than Casey Mize was up for the Tigers. Nice to see
After several years of debuting highly lauded prospect talent, the Detroit Tigers farm system is about to hit a bit of a lull in production. The next big waves of talent are stacking up in the A-ball and rookie ball levels as Scott Harris’ scouting chiefs lean heavily toward prep talent and continue to scour
