Not that Tigers fans have been in the dark here, but a certain big-league baseball team from Detroit has had its strikeout issues in 2021. The Tigers have the third-most whiffs of any team in the majors, which invites inquiries about whether things might be any better on Detroit’s farmlands in terms of swinging and
Toledo, Ohio – The Toledo Mud Hens fell to the Indianapolis Indians by a score of 6-5 at Victory Field Sunday evening. What looked to be offensive showcase for both squads early on quickly became a duel of the bullpens with the Hens coming up just short in the later innings. The Mud Hens opened
Detroit — Hit ’em where they ain’t, you say? The Cubs did some of that, sure, but actually found a fair amount of success hitting it at the defense and watching the Tigers make a mess of one play after another in a 5-1 getaway-day dud at Comerica Park on an otherwise glorious Sunday afternoon. It was difficult to
The Detroit Tigers whiffed on a chance to win another series at home on Sunday, dropping their series finale to the Chicago Cubs by a 5-1 score. Matthew Boyd wasn’t at his best, and his defense didn’t do him any favors as he was saddled with his fourth loss of the year. I’m not really
DETROIT — The final damage for Matthew Boyd on Sunday afternoon came on a home run off a high fastball, a common sight last year but a rarity this season. Ian Happ’s opposite-field shot was just the second homer of the season off Boyd, who yielded the most in the American League the past two

Detroit Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd pitched well Sunday afternoon, keeping the heart of the Chicago Cubs’ lineup — Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez — to a minimum through six innings. The trio finished 1-for-9 with five strikeouts against Boyd. But Cubs righty Kyle Hendricks was better. The Tigers (14-26) couldn’t snap Hendricks out of
Detroit — More than anything with his fundamentals or positioning at the plate, the Tigers just want Willi Castro to keep his head up. There’s no film you can watch to work on that. “I see him as a guy who’s pressed a little bit,” Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Sunday morning, ahead of the series
When the Detroit Tigers signed outfielder Robbie Grossman to a two-year, $10 million contract this offseason, manager AJ Hinch asked him to evolve into a lineup and clubhouse leader. Grossman, 31, is exceeding those requests in May. The Tigers (14-25) have won six of their past 10 games. Grossman’s leadership and approach at the plate is key to

DETROIT — Two weeks into the Minor League season, Derek Hill has already compiled a highlight reel of catches for Triple-A Toledo. Most of them involve collisions with the outfield wall at another Triple-A park in Indianapolis. While Hill has long since proved that he’s a Major League-caliber defender, he’s averaging a highlight catch every

The Detroit Tigers amazingly returned to their winning ways after a wild one against the Chicago Cubs in Detroit on Saturday afternoon. The Motor City Kitties ultimately outlasted the north-side Cubbies in extra innings with a 9-8 win to even up the three-game weekend series. José Ureña gave up more than two runs for the
Bull Durham is one of those enduring classics. The bawdy baseball comedy, which came out in 1988, boasts a sort of universal appeal. The movie, a Western in cleats, possesses a kind of rustic, ageless charm. Perhaps best known as the movie that brought stars Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins together, Bull Durham details the…
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
