Washington, D.C. — Watching Joey Wentz take another beating in the 6-4 loss to the Nationals in the series finale Sunday, the first natural thought is that the Tigers need to make some renovations to their starting rotation. Then you dive into it. Spencer Turnbull, Matt Manning, Tarik Skubal are all on the injured list
WASHINGTON — The Detroit Tigers walked eight times on Sunday; it was the second time they’ve picked up that many free passes this season. One problem: The Tigers failed to capitalize on all those walks, plus one hit-by-pitch, in Sunday’s 6-4 loss to the Washington Nationals in the finale of the three-game series at Nationals Park.
Washington, D.C. — Tigers lefty reliever Tyler Alexander is stuck in a Catch-22 no pitcher wants to be in. He needs more work to pitch better, but he needs to pitch better to earn more work. “There’s always these lulls in the season where you don’t throw a lot and other times when you do
Lynn Henning | Special to The Detroit News If anything was going to make Sunday night easier for Toledo manager Anthony Iapoce, it was Saturday night’s version of Reese Olson. Iapoce was speaking Sunday from Omaha, Neb., site of an evening Triple-A game against the Storm Chasers, after which Iapoce and his Mud Hens players could

The pain is excruciating, bringing the strongest men in the sport to their knees, wondering just how long it will last. It is cruel. It is heartless. It is insensitive. It’s “The Rebuild.” You know, the one the Kansas City Royals and their fan base have endured for six years now, starting two years after
WASHINGTON — Five days ago, Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene stood in front of their lockers in the clubhouse following multi-hit performances in a convincing 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both players revealed the Detroit Tigers‘ approach at the plate against Pirates right-hander Luis L. Ortiz, who threw 44 strikes and 37 balls in his
What has changed in Zach McKinstry? How did he become such an integral, productive member of the Detroit Tigers in such a short period of time? It’s obvious to those who know him best. “My wife and I talk about it all the time,” Alex McKinstry, Zach’s father, said. “He seems like a different kid
WASHINGTON — Riley Greene uses his hands when he talks, showing release points of opposing pitchers or expressing relief when recounting Javier Báez charging at him Friday night after Greene couldn’t find a fly ball at Nationals Park. He’s upbeat, just 22, moving through the Major Leagues as an anchor to what the Tigers hope
Washington, D.C. — There was a lot for right-hander Alex Faedo to like about his performance Saturday. But it’s going to take a minute before he can feel too awfully good about it. “I think it’s one of those games where you look back at it and, like, ‘Damn, I feel like I probably should’ve
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Jeimer Candelario, the longtime third baseman for the Detroit Tigers, stuck his arm in the air and pointed toward the seats in right-center field after rounding first base.

WASHINGTON — Two underrated moments from the Detroit Tigers‘ 8-6 win over the Washington Nationals in Friday’s series opener took place in the first and third innings, both courtesy of Nick Maton. Maton, batting .155 in 39 games this season, drew crucial two-out walks in those innings. The walks kept the innings alive and led to
Washington, D.C. — Tigers’ utility man Nick Maton had a unique plan of attack Friday night. He’s 4 for 34 in May, hitting .155 on the season and against breaking balls and off-speed pitches, he’s 5 for 56 with 30 strikeouts. So, against Nationals right-handed starter Jake Irvin, he put the bat on his shoulders
Washington, D.C. — Riley Greene’s home run to right field in the sixth inning Friday night was a Statcast marvel. He hit it with a 40-degree launch angle (his average angle is 3.7 degrees) and lofted it 162 feet into the air. That was the third-highest home run hit in the big leagues this year.
WASHINGTON — The progress some of the Tigers’ key young players have made at the plate this season is plain to see, particularly over the past few weeks. But in the aggregate, Detroit remains one of the weaker offensive teams in baseball, ranking last in runs scored and 28th in homers entering Friday’s series opener
Washington, D.C. – The Tigers hit four home runs, built an 8-0 lead and Matthew Boyd took a no-hitter into the sixth inning Friday night against the Washington Nationals. And it very nearly got away from them. “If we’re going to preach play the whole game, then we’re going to have to manage the whole
WASHINGTON — The Detroit Tigers need to beat the bad teams to prove themselves contenders in the American League Central. Upcoming series against the Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox, a pair of weaker opponents in the division, are opportunities to move up in the standings. But first, the Tigers have to take down the
