HOUSTON — Akil Baddoo apologized to Detroit manager A.J. Hinch on Monday night after going into a home run trot and slapping hands with first-base coach Ramon Santiago on what turned out to be a 403-foot double to one of the deepest parts of Minute Maid Park. So when Baddoo lofted a pitch to cozier
Houston – It was just one at-bat, but it felt like it caused a sea change for the Tigers Tuesday night and kickstarted their second straight win over the Astros, 8-2 at Minute Maid Park. And, in keeping with the theme of things these days, it involved Rule 5 rookie Akil Baddoo. A lot things involved

On Tigers LIVE, our John Keating and Craig Monroe welcome special guest Casey Mize, who picked up his first major-league win Monday in Houston. Jack Morris weighs in on Mize’s outing and on Matthew Boyd, tonight’s starter. #DetroitRoots
Houston – Michael Fulmer has 85 big-league starts under his belt, so he understands the routine. Or, he used to. This one might be different. His start here on Wednesday comes after three outings and seven impressive innings out of the bullpen. So, what’s the approach? Go back to his starter’s routine or stay with
If the Detroit Tigers need him, infielder Zack Short will be ready. When the Tigers added first baseman Renato Nunez to the 26-man roster, thus removing him from the taxi squad, Short took his place. The squad, which gives teams extra reserves on road trips, puts the 25-year-old one step closer to his MLB debut.
HOUSTON — The last time a Tigers rookie tossed seven scoreless innings in a game before Casey Mize on Monday, Michael Fulmer was dealing against the Rangers as part of his incredible 2016 summer. Fulmer was also pushing then-manager Brad Ausmus to let him go the distance after tossing eight innings and 7 2/3 innings
Like anything in baseball, there are always surprises. The 2021 season brought talk of clear Rookie of the Year favorites, but once the season actually got going, there were more than a fair share of rookie standouts that didn’t appear on those early lists. Consider the top three hottest rookies to start the 2021 season.
Detroit Tigers meet on the mound. We are just 10 games into the 2021 Detroit Tigers season, but clearly it’s time to start judging the players based on arbitrary statistics and unsustainable performances.
Houston — Eight of Casey Mize’s first 11 pitches Monday night were balls. He walked Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman and was staring at Yordan Alvarez and Carlos Correa, the Astros’ Nos. 4 and 5 hitters. Three batters in and already things were teetering. Catcher Grayson Greiner took off his mask, called timeout and walked to the mound.
If it weren’t for Miguel Cabrera’s left biceps strain, slugging first baseman Renato Nunez — who hit 43 home runs over the last two seasons with the Baltimore Orioles — would likely still be on the Detroit Tigers‘ taxi squad. The taxi squad, only allowed for road trips, is the closest a member of the alternate training site

Ryan and Carlee Madis love each other, of course, and they love baseball, and she surely would have come to adore his departed mother who’s the reason he loves baseball in the first place. All of that came into play when it was time to name their strapping first child, who arrived late Saturday morning
Casey Mize‘s fastball command was crummy. As he put it: “Really bad, just couldn’t find that.” He sauntered back to the dugout wondering how — after two walks, one single and one hit-by-pitch through two innings — he could make it through the opposing lineup a second or third time without succumbing to the nucleus of the Houston
Casey Mize earned his first major league victory on Monday night when he pitched seven innings of no-run ball allowing just two walks while striking out five. It was a fine performance for a team that had been struggling both on the mound and at the plate after the first ten games despite last season’s

The stars of today and of tomorrow morphed into one Monday night at Minute Maid Park. Detroit’s Akil Baddoo continued what has been as surreal start to his Major League career while Houston’s Luis Garcia provided further evidence he’s ready for prime time. Playing in his seventh big league game, Baddoo opened the scoring with
Houston – After a miserable weekend in Cleveland, the Tigers decided to have some fun in Houston town Monday. It started with a warm welcome back tribute to Tigers manager AJ Hinch – complete with a video montage and a standing ovation from the crowd of 15,779 at Minute Maid Park – and transitioned smoothly
