Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize battled. The 24-year-old, making his first start of the season, managed a surplus of hard contact, stranded runners in scoring position and stuck around into the sixth, but he was ambushed in his final inning by a two-run home run from Yasmani Grandal.

Detroit — The Tigers early in spring, with catcher Tucker Barnhart leading the campaign, quickly opted against using the PitchCom technology to relay pitch calls between catcher and pitcher.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson emerged from the on-deck circle Friday, wedged his bat between his arm and chest, adjusted his batting gloves and dug his feet into the batter’s box.

MIDLAND, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps opened the 2022 regular season with a dominant pitching performance and historic win in a 5-1 victory over the Great Lakes Loons in front of 1,655 fans at Dow Diamond on Friday night.

Truly there is one thing and one thing only on our minds this weekend, and that is the return of Tigers baseball to Detroit. While we are sad to report that Opening Day has not yet been made a national holiday, the happier news is that the Tigers won their first game of the season
