Happy afternoon baseball, friends. And an even happier “last time we have to play these guys this week” to the Phillies. Rough week for sure and today’s game didn’t feel much better. Spencer Turnbull (yes I had to double check he was the away pitcher, it took me a second) was up against a Tigers’

Toledo Mud Hens 14, Louisville Bats 4 (box) Spencer Torkelson and Parker Meadows went off on Tuesday night, while Brent Hurter, the recipient of ample run support, put together his best outing of the season as the Hens welcomed in the Bats like the Red Wedding. Alex Faedo made a rehab appearance in the first
It was a Battle Of The Left-Handed Aces down at the ol’ corporate-sponsored ball yard on Tuesday night, and the home team touched up a very, very good pitcher for the most runs he’s given up all year in a 4-1 win. Making the start for the home team was Tarik Skubal, who’d had a
Monday’s game was full of rarities. Casey Mize did something no Tiger ever had. Nick — name shortened from “Nicholas,” as he was known in his Tigers’ day — Castellanos played at Comerica Park in front of fans for the first time since 2019. And the Phillies did something that hasn’t been done in the
The Detroit Tigers finally snapped their series schneid this past weekend taking two of three from the lowly Chicago White Sox in Detroit, though run distribution across games is still a bit of an issue. Next up for the Motor City Kitties are the Philadelphia Phillies, who roll into town on Monday with a seven-game
St. Paul Saints 4, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (Fri)(box) St. Paul Saints 9, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (Sat)(box) Toledo Mud Hens 20, St. Paul Saints 9 (Sun)(box) The Mud Hens lost their 10th in a row on Saturday, and you had to wonder what the heck was going on with the Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate. Much
The Tigers took on the Chicago White Sox in the rubber match of their series on a hot, windy, and humid Sunday afternoon in Detroit. Reese “where the heck is my run support” Olson, he of the 3.39 ERA and a staggering 1-8 W-L record (pitcher wins suck) took on ChiSox rookie Jonathan Cannon, who
After a Friday night win assisted by some boneheaded baserunning, a warm Star Wars Day Saturday afternoon contest featured more anemic hitting and a 5-1 loss. Making his thirteenth start for the Tigers this season was Kenta Maeda, and it’s been a rough, rough go of it lately for him. Before today he’d only pitched
Welcome home, Tigers, and just in time for a new series to kick off against division rivals the Chicago White Sox. Jack Flaherty was on the mound for the Tigers, up against Erick Fedde for the White Sox. With two outs in the top of the first Luis Robert Jr. drew a walk, then Gavin
It has been a tough month for the Detroit Tigers, who have now lost four straight series and are quickly sinking into the mire of the American League Central. Coming off a three-game sweep at the hands of the Atlanta Braves on the road, AJ Hinch hopes the next opponent will help the team right
St. Paul Saints 8, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) Bryan Sammons had a rare brutal outing on Thursday night, and the offense couldn’t overcome it. Things looked good for a while. Sammons gave up a solo shot in the bottom of the first, but Andrew Navigato answered with one of his own in the third.
Infielder Jace Jung has done nothing but hit since the Detroit Tigers made him their first round selection with the 12th overall pick in the 2022 amateur draft. Initial skepticism about his contact skills and defensive ability hasn’t entirely faded, but his 2023 season did a lot to assuage concerns about the power potential of
St. Paul Saints 8, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (box) The Hens stormed back after a rough outing from Brant Hurter, but the bullpen couldn’t hold a late lead as the Saints took their second straight. Ryan Vilade gave Hurter an early lead when he launched a solo shot in the first inning. Riley Unroe led
