Bull Durham is one of those enduring classics. The bawdy baseball comedy, which came out in 1988, boasts a sort of universal appeal.

After a four-game winning streak, the Detroit Tigers no longer carry the weight of the worst record in baseball. That mark belongs to the Minnesota Twins, projected by many in spring training to win the American League Central. But Tigers (13-25) have the second-worst record after 38 games. The offense is inconsistent, the starting rotation is

Detroit — Harold Castro was, for much of Saturday’s Detroit Tigers game against the Chicago Cubs, a study in baseball frustration. In the third inning he hit a bullet, 98.6 mph off the bat that Statcast showed had an expected batting average of .520. That ball died in the glove of right fielder Jason Heyward. Then he
Harold Castro may have struck out three straight times heading into his 10th inning at bat, but all negative energy was quickly erased with a sharp single to left field, scoring a sprinting JaCoby Jones from 2nd base in a dramatic win over the Cubs.

Some wins are about finesse, clutch hits and standout performances. And then there are the “grit” wins — ones that taste extra sweet looking back after a hard fight.

Erie’s winning streak was halted at three games on Saturday afternoon at UPMC Park when the Akron RubberDucks jumped out to an early lead, eventually winning 9-2.

Kyle Funkhouser remembers exactly how he felt after learning he’d been optioned to Triple-A Toledo at the end of Spring Training. Not happy. Sour. Like he’d been smacked in the mouth a little bit. But then came the fight response: The Tigers righty wasn’t going to spend a day longer in the Minors than he
Detroit — To paraphrase James Baldwin: There’s nothing more dangerous than a man who has nothing to lose. Tigers right-hander Kyle Funkhouser is feeling a little bit like that these days. After getting his teeth kicked in last season (14 runs in 17 innings) and being unceremoniously optioned back to Triple-A this spring — if
Well Tigers fans, the winning was fun while it lasted. On Friday night, the Chicago Cubs came to town and took the first of a three-game weekend series, 4-2, to snap the Detroit Tigers’ four-game winning streak. It was not a bad loss — Cubs starter Jake Arrieta, while not quite the pitcher he used
