The SeaWolves dropped the second game of a six-game series to the Altoona Curve by a 3-2 score on Wednesday night at People’s Natural Gas Field. The scoreless game was interrupted early by a 1:09 rain delay in the middle of the third inning. Both starting pitchers did not return after the rain delay. Ricardo
Cleveland starter Triston McKenzie wasn’t supposed to pitch this well against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. The 23-year-old, a first-round draft pick in 2015, had walked 30 batters in 31⅓ innings with a 6.89 ERA across eight games this season, forcing a demotion to Triple-A Columbus. Cleveland needed a starter because of injuries, so the organization called
The third game of the Cleveland-Detroit series, of which the Cleves took the first two, featured solid pitching and defense all around. The Tigers snapped their four-game losing streak by beating Cleveland 1-0, with Michael Fulmer picking up the win in relief. Toeing the slab for the Buckeyes was the young Triston McKenzie, who’s had
DETROIT — Robbie Grossman’s eighth-inning sacrifice fly produced the only run at Comerica Park on Wednesday and ended the Tigers’ six-game losing streak against Cleveland, sending Detroit to a 1-0 win.

Ronald Blum | Associated Press New York — Former New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway was suspended by Major League Baseball on Wednesday through at least the end of the 2022 season following an investigation of sexual harassment allegations. Shortly after MLB’s announcement of the suspension, the Los Angeles Angels said they had fired Callaway, the team’s
Detroit — The pitching was stingy. The defense was strong. The only facet of the team late to the party Wednesday night was the offense. But enough of it showed up just in time. Niko Goodrum led off the bottom of the eighth inning with a double off reliever Cal Quantrill. He went to third on
Usually at the time of college tournament play, teams have narrowed their focus in the first round of the Draft. But with the event moved to July for the first time this year, the number of players in the top tier of talent is still expanding. Both North Carolina high school shortstop Kahlil Watson and

The sight of Alan Trammell taking double-play throws at second base in Detroit brings back memories from 30 to 35 years ago. But it wasn’t highlights from yesteryear at Tiger Stadium; it was early infield work on Tuesday afternoon at Comerica Park. And Willi Castro, not Lou Whitaker, was making the tosses from the other
Detroit — It was jokingly suggested to Tigers lefty Derek Holland that the root cause of his mysterious shoulder injury might’ve been extensive Call of Duty action. Fans of a certain vintage are well aware of the team’s history with video game injuries (Joel Zumaya). And Holland plays a fair bit. Whether he’s pitching well or struggling,
With every stellar outing by a young starting pitcher, the promise grows. With every botched defensive play or anemic hitting effort, the urgency grows. We’re entering the most delicate, difficult phase of the Tigers’ rebuild, one that could determine many fates, including that of GM Al Avila. The Tigers’ touted cache of arms is starting
The Detroit Tigers have seen their starting pitchers turn a corner in the month of May. From Casey Mize to Matthew Boyd, the starting rotation has been the most consistent thing, night in and night out. With Tarik Skubal’s performance last night, we saw yet another strong start from the lefty.
The Rays nearly set a franchise record with an 11-game winning streak and went 11-2 overall from May 12-25, the two-week range of dates included in this Rookie Hot List. Entering Wednesday, they own the American League’s best record at 30-20 and sit a half-game ahead of the Red Sox in a crowded four-team AL
Detroit Tigers rookie Tarik Skubal is making improvements. He is learning to mix his pitches to generate strikeouts, as displayed by back-to-back outings with nine strikeouts. He ditched his new splitter for his old changeup, and his fastball velocity is back to topping out at 98 mph. Skubal, 24, is more comfortable on the mound than
With May quickly coming to an end, the Detroit Tigers are just about a third of the way through the 2021 season. There have not been too many surprises, which is not a good thing given that expectations coming into the season were generally low. On the whole, both hitting and pitching have left much
Toledo Mud Hens 2, Louisville Bats 1 (box) Good pitching and a strong showing from Daz Cameron steered the Hens to a victory in the first of this six-game set in Louisville. Two pitches into the game, Cameron hammered a fastball from veteran lefty Josh Osich 415 feet over the centerfield wall. He racked up
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – For the second straight day, the West Michigan Whitecaps got a huge lift from their pitching staff as they squeaked past the first-place Lake County Captains 4-3 in comeback fashion Tuesday night at LMCU Ballpark. The ‘Caps pen dominated through the last four innings as Sam Kessler, Zack Hess, and Ruben
Detroit — Tigers manage AJ Hinch had just spent about five minutes extolling the virtues of Indians right-hander Aaron Civale and then threw up his hands. “I’m the wrong guy to ask, we haven’t figured him out yet,” he said. The Tigers have had three whacks at Civale this year and they’ve yet to crack
