Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch never planned on putting outfielder Akil Baddoo in the starting lineup as much as he did early in the season. But Baddoo, a 22-year-old Rule 5 draft pick, earned those opportunities. “He was the talk of baseball when he got off to such a hot start,” manager AJ Hinch said Sunday.

Detroit — The difference between a Tigers win and loss was just a matter of a couple steps on Monday. Detroit was aiming to mount a ninth-inning comeback against Cleveland Indians closer Emmanuel Clase. And it looked like they were going to do it. Clase, who entered the game with a 0.84 ERA, struck out leadoff man

A tight game at Comerica Park featured a collection of Tigers offensive highlights, including Willi Castro’s third home run of the season. But the biggest play of the night was made by the Indians defense, robbing Eric Haase of a game-winning hit on the final out of the game.
DETROIT — The last time a Tigers pitcher followed up a no-hitter, fans were treated to the Summer of Verlander, when seemingly every start was a no-hit bid in the making. Nothing about Monday’s 6-5 loss to Cleveland or Spencer Turnbull‘s performance suggested this will be the Summer of Spencer in that sense. Yet much
Spencer Turnbull didn’t throw back-to-back no-hitters like Johnny Vander Meer in 1938, but he carried the Detroit Tigers through six innings and put his team in a position to take the series opener against Cleveland. Then the bullpen had other ideas. With the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh inning, right-hander Bryan Garcia threw a
Detroit — It likely wasn’t going to be a repeat effort from Spencer Turnbull. The Tigers starter threw his first career no-hitter last week against the Seattle Mariners and had good stuff again Monday. But whether it was fatigue, excitement or a Cleveland Indians team eager to swing the bat, Turnbull found himself working out of multiple
The Tigers fought through their own mistakes throughout this one, and almost pulled the game out in the bottom of the ninth in spite of themselves. In the end, they fell 6-5 to Cleveland in the opener of this three-game set in Comerica Park. All around this was just a sloppy game from the Tigers,
Detroit — Sometimes some time away can work wonders. Outfielder Victor Reyes was recalled late Sunday and is back with the Tigers after a 12-game stint with Triple-A Toledo. He started in center field and hit eighth as the team opened a seven-game homestand with a four-game series against the Cleveland Indians on Monday. Reyes had struggled after
The Tigers placed catcher Wilson Ramos on the 10-day injured list due to a lumbar spine strain. Ramos will be replaced on the active roster by southpaw Derek Holland, who is returning from an IL stint of his own due to a shoulder strain. This is the second time this month that Ramos has been
DETROIT — A.J. Hinch didn’t have a ton of honors from his catching career, but the Tigers’ manager has this: He’s the only Major League catcher who was a Minor League teammate of a six-time majors-champion golfer. Eighteen years before Phil Mickelson became the oldest golfer to win a major with his PGA Championship title
DETROIT — For the second time this month, the Tigers placed catcher Wilson Ramos on the 10-day injured list with a lumbar spine strain. This time, his IL stint will likely last a while. Lefty reliever Derek Holland was reinstated from the 10-day IL to fill Ramos’ roster spot. The move bumps the Tigers’ bullpen
• All-time winners: AL | NL On Tuesday, Turnbull no-hit the Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, the eighth no-hitter in Detroit franchise history and the first since Justin Verlander’s on May 7, 2011. The 28-year-old is only the fifth pitcher to throw a no-hitter within two seasons of leading the Majors in losses (which
Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes went to Triple-A Toledo to figure out his timing. The physical adjustment was small — more about finding consistency and less about swing changes. He felt disappointed when the Tigers demoted him May 8 to the minor leagues, but he knew it wouldn’t be long before he returned, if he performed. After an 11-game
How do you follow up your first career no-hitter? That’s a question that the Detroit Tigers haven’t had to answer in nearly 14 years. After Justin Verlander tossed his first no-no on June 12, 2007, he returned to the mound five days later to throw six innings of three-run baseball. Monday night Spencer Turnbull makes
