Latest news and updates about the Tigers
After opening the 2026 campaign with a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres, the Detroit Tigers are in danger of getting swept in their second series of the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. The first two games have resulted in a 9-6 loss on Monday night and a 7-5 loss on Tuesday […]
Don’t look now, but one month of the season is already in the books. Okay, not exactly, as, while March is now over, teams only ever play a handful of regular season games in the month. However, we are now fully into the swing of the 2026 season, with every team having a handful of […]
My love for Colt Keith knows no bounds. There’s no style of prospect I love more than a middle infielder with plus hit and power tools, which Keith was as he tore his way through the minor leagues. You know I love this guy: in the last month, I’ve written an article about how he […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Diamond Sports! It was an exciting day for Mizzou diamond sports as the Tigers hosted Kansas in baseball, and played Missouri State in softball. While the softball team got it done, the baseball team fell in a back-and-forth affair. Abby Carr shined once against […]
Jose Fernandez. That is it. That’s the recap. Give the guy his flowers. From a pitching standpoint, Brandon Pfaadt had a very Brandon Pfaadt outing. He rolled through 5 innings, but was so bad in the 3rd the announcers on the broadcast thought he was tipping his pitches. Pfaadt was atleast able to give the […]
A night after a not-quite-comeback in Arizona on Monday, the Tigers were the ones with the comfortable lead for most of the game on Tuesday before it all went belly-up late in the game, ending up with a 7-5 loss. Making his season debut for the Tigers was Casey Mize, who had a generally solid […]
RUSS CHANDLER STADIUM — A couple weeks after suffering a tough midweek loss at then #4 Auburn the #3 Georgia Tech Baseball Jackets dominated now #18 Auburn 13-3 behind home runs by Vahn Lackey, Carson Kerce, Ryan Zuckerman, and a mercy rule enforcing solo shot by Caleb Daniel. Tech converted nearly all of their runners […]

Kerry Carpenter has been in a pretty rough place this spring. After a fairly good, but again injury plagued 2025 season, the Tigers’ right fielder and designated hitter came into camp looking to put together a more consistent 2026 and hopefully finally banish the back and hamstring injuries that have nagged at him for much […]
Every Major League Baseball team begins Spring Training with one goal in mind: to win a World Series title. The San Diego Padres are chasing the same goal, as their desire to win has never wavered. Disappointing opening series does not define season The opening series loss to the Detroit Tigers was disappointing and felt […]
The Detroit Tigers floundered in the opening game of their road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, as Justin Verlander was anything but in vintage form in the team’s 9-6 loss. They will get another shot on Tuesday night in the desert behind their former No. 1 draft pick, Casey Mize, who opens […]
Through four games of the 2026 season, the San Diego Padres have managed a grand total of nine runs scored, while allowing 16 runs to the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants. The Padres dropped the series opener to the Giants at Petco Park on Monday 3-2, but the score makes the game appear […]
Record: 1-3. Pace: 40-122. Change on 2025: -1. If there was ever the need for a palette cleanser, after the disappointing sweep in Los Angeles, it was in tonight’s home opener at Chase. Early on, the D-backs delivered in no uncertain fashion. The offense matched the entire run production of the opening series in the […]
Things finally came full circle after eight years and seven months away from home. Justin Verlander returned to the mound in regular season action as a Detroit Tiger on Monday night in Arizona. Were you nervous? I’ve rarely had the mix of excitement and nerves I felt going into this one except in September and […]

Tigers Pitching & Diamondbacks offense. Rotation: In February, Matt Snyder ranked the Tiger rotation as the third best in the Majors. Its’ best two pitchers are Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez. Bullpen: “The bullpen has more experience to handle high-leverage situations now, with Finnegan brought back and Jansen brought aboard to aid Vest, Holton and […]
The San Diego Padres avoided getting swept this Opening Weekend, winning, 3-0, on Saturday night against the Detroit Tigers. Everything went great for the Friars in the series finale. The offense gave the San Diego pitching staff some cushion (that they wouldn’t end up needing). Randy Vásquez dominated the Tigers through six innings, and the […]

The Detroit Tigers won their first series of the season against the San Diego Padres and now move on to the next leg of the 2026 campaign-opening road trip at the Arizona Diamondbacks this week, starting on Monday night. So far, in an obviously limited sample size, AJ Hinch’s team is in the lower half […]
All throughout spring training, a tough question in Detroit Tigers camp was who would take the last spot in their bullpen. Their seven best relief options were pretty obvious, other than the question of whether Keider Montero would stay stretched out to start or not, but no one stepped to take the last right-handed spot […]
Mason Miller faced off against Kevin McGonigle in the final plate appearance of the night between the San Diego Padres and the Detroit Tigers. The Padres were looking to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Tigers thanks in large part to the breakout performance McGonigle who was playing the third MLB game of […]
The Detroit Tigers took the field on a lovely night in San Diego, looking to complete a road sweep of the Padres to open the season. It didn’t work out that way, though they continued to keep the Padres offense in check. The Tigers hitters were a little too jumpy against Padres’ pitching, with only […]
Saturday evening was a time of repetition for Mizzou baseball in the sense that the game began by them digging their own hole. This time, the Tigers just weren’t nearly as close to getting out of it in their 13-4 loss against Texas A&M at Taylor Stadium. In Friday’s 11-9 defeat at the hands of […]
