This should have been a great pitching match to watch with Tarik Skubal taking on Cole Ragans (is it just me or is that the name of a high school quarterback and not a pitcher?), but it turned into the Royals absolutely demolishing the Tigers, which is an unpleasant way to spend a Wednesday afternoon.

Louisville Bats 7, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) Keider Montero got ambushed in the first inning of this one. The Hens fought back to take the lead in the middle innings, but were undone by the bullpen to lose on Tuesday. The Hens struck first in this one as Justyn-Henry Malloy and Keston Hiura walked
The Royals shelled Casey Mize right from the start of this one, and even their routine contact dropped over a long first three innings. The Tigers didn’t get a whole lot from the offense beyond Colt Keith and Matt Vierling, and they dropped the game and the series on Tuesday night in Kansas City. Casey
The Tigers rolled into Kansas City off a convincing series win in the desert. However, the first of three did not go as planned as Reese Olson got quite literally knocked out of the game early on and Joey Wentz came unglued in a long sixth inning that doomed them in this one. The duel
The road to the major leagues was a twisty one for Detroit Tigers’ outfielder Wenceel Pérez. Even as an early believer in his 2022 breakout, you could not have convinced me that he’d be hitting in the three-hole and providing a major offensive boost to the Detroit Tigers even as late as this spring. The
The Detroit Tigers rash of series losses finally came to an end last weekend against the Arizona Diamondbacks, who dropped two of three to the visitors. The Motor City Kitties now move on to the second leg of their six-game road trip to face the Kansas City Royals for a midweek set. The Royals are

A wild back and forth contest didn’t quite go the Tigers way, but they showed some fight against a good team desperately trying to avoid getting swept at home. The fault in this one has to rest on Matt Manning, who really struggled early before settling into the game. From that point on it was
This one started off just a little different from Friday night’s victory. Zac Gallen will do that to you. Still the Tigers didn’t have too much trouble generating traffic on the bases. Early on they just couldn’t get the big hit. That all changed in the seventh inning when a monster six-run rally put the

The Tigers and Athletics have both announced that Detroit has claimed left-hander Easton Lucas off waivers. Lucas will be optioned to the Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate in Toledo. In the corresponding move, the Tigers have also designated right-hander Ty Adcock for assignment. More to come….
After a series of struggles against three pretty mediocre Miami Marlins’ starters, the Tigers came out red hot in this one. Tarik Skubal was awesome as usual, and didn’t need the help, but it was certainly good to see the Tigers dish out this level of beatdown after a rough stretch as they torched the
The month of May has been quite unkind to the Detroit Tigers, who lost all four of their series so far after dropping two of three at home to the Miami Marlins this past week. The Motor City Kitties have struggled a bit at Comerica Park and perhaps the upcoming six-game road trip will cure
