Indianapolis Indians 7, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) Lael Lockhart Jr. had a tough outing and only a late rally kept this from looking like a beatdown in the box score.

A new month begins on Thursday as the Detroit Tigers look to kick off the post-trade deadline portion of their campaign with a winning effort against the visiting Kansas City Royals, who are in town for a four-game series this weekend. The Motor City Kitties wrapped up July on a downswing, dropping a pair to
The Detroit Tigers traded right-hander Jack Flaherty to the Los Angeles Dodgers for catcher/first baseman Thayron Liranzo and shortstop Trey Sweeney.

Indianapolis Indians 7, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) The Hens pitching staff is nearly as depleted as the Tigers right now, and another bullpen day did not go well. The offense rallied late but couldn’t close the deal as they lost the first of the series in Indy. The Indians built an early lead off
Mark Canha is headed back to the Bay Area. The Giants acquired the veteran outfielder from the Tigers for minor league reliever Eric Silva.

After the trade that sent Jack Flaherty to the Dodgers was announced right at 5:59 p.m. ET, the Detroit Tigers had one more deal to announce. They moved 1B/OF Mark Canha to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for 21-year-old right-hander Eric Silva. Canha did a nice job for the Tigers overall, providing them with
If not for Tarik Skubal’s ascendency to true ace status and the current unofficial leader in the AL Cy Young chase, Jack Flaherty’s 2024 season might have stood out even more in Tigers history. The duo has been the best seen in Detroit since a decade ago when Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer stalked the
