Akil Baddoo has rightfully been the talk of the early Detroit Tigers season. His first few games will remain legendary, and him dominating despite never playing above High-A made it all the more compelling.
Nobody in American League history had a higher OPS through his first eight Major League games than Akil Baddoo. Nobody expected the Tigers rookie and Rule 5 revelation to keep up that record pace. Baddoo’s season is going to be a series of adjustments as he experiences his first extended stretch of baseball since Class
Detroit Tigers right fielder Nomar Mazara was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday but it will take longer than that for his left abdominal strain to heal. There’s no timetable for his return but it’ll be “at least a couple weeks” before he’s ready, manager AJ Hinch said before Saturday’s game in Oakland,
The Detroit Tigers dropped a tough one on Friday night to the Oakland Athletics despite a surprisingly strong start from José Ureña, getting shut out by a score of 3-0. Instead of starting a new winning streak, the good guys now look to prevent a series loss on its west coast swing. The good news

Josh Dubow | Associated Press Oakland, Calif. — Frankie Montas allowed two hits in six sharp innings and the Oakland Athletics won their sixth straight game by beating the Detroit Tigers 3-0 on Friday night. After opening the season with six consecutive losses, the roller-coaster A’s are back at .500 after 14 games thanks to their follow-up
Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press Pitching and defense failed the Detroit Tigers in their series opener at Oakland on Thursday. Their bats went silent on Friday. They were shut out for the first time this season, 3-0, while producing just four singles. Oakland starter Frankie Montas and three relievers overpowered them, racking up 11
The 2021 Detroit Tigers continue to be a tale of two teams. After having one of their most impressive series of the past half-decade with a sweep of the Houston Astros in Texas, they have followed it up with a pair of dud losses in Oakland, the most recent of which was a 3-0 snoozer
José Ureña held his own against Frankie Montas in an unexpected pitchers’ duel that consisted of two righties who entered the game with ERAs above 8.00. Ureña’s first quality start of the season — and first since June 2019 — was spoiled by a Detroit offense that mustered only four hits in its 3-0 loss

Regardless of whether Goodrum is in the starting lineup, he’s making sure that his skipper notices the work that he’s putting in to be a player

Yesterday, after a decent stretch of warm weather and sunny skies in the metro Detroit and Ann Arbor area, I was greeted to sleet and miserable grey clouds outside my window. Perhaps if the Tigers had been at Comerica Park, they would’ve recreated some of their Opening Day magic after seeing a few snowflakes fly
Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press The Detroit Tigers played mostly clean baseball while sweeping a three-game series from the Houston Astros this week. Their opener in Oakland on Thursday was marred by the Dirty Dozen. Detroit pitchers issued 12 walks in an 8-4 loss to the A’s at RingCentral Coliseum. The free passes led
The Detroit Tigers played an ugly brand of Zombie baseball Thursday night against the Oakland A’s. The Tigers were so sluggish, so inconsistent, so unable to simply throw strikes, that they looked like a group of guys who tried to play a baseball game after pulling an all-nighter. Which also happens to be true. After
Akil Baddoo burst on to the Detroit sports scene with a memorable first 10 games, including a home run in his first swing, a grand slam in his second game, and a walk-off single in his third game. But that’s not all, as Baddoo continued to make the most of his opportunity in the Motor
In a tuneup start against the Cincinnati Reds alternate squad team last night, the right-hander was in mid-season form in the Detroit Tigers 5-2 victory. Turnbull went 4.1 innings, allowing two runs on five hits, a pair of walks, and two strikeouts. (Correction to the tweet from what was posted on the Tigers Minor League…
