Game 45 Preview: Tigers return home to host Blue Jays this weekend
The Detroit Tigers finished their six-game road trip on Thursday afternoon with a 9-4 defeat at the hands of the New York Mets, sweeping them out of the Big Apple and giving the team just one win over that stretch and losses in eight of the last nine. Injuries, poor defense and an anemic offense […]
Thayron Liranzo goes yard in Erie victory, Malachi Witherspoon blanks Clearwater
Omaha Storm Chasers 7, Toledo Mud Hens 6 (box) Sawyer Gipson-Long got the start, and after a few false starts coming off the injury list, is at least working regularly back toward full strength. He wasn’t good in this one, however. He gave up three runs in two innings of work. Konnor Pilkington took over […]
Mets 9, Tigers 4: Detroit gets swept out of the Big Apple
I would start this recap by talking about the importance of the Tigers avoiding a sweep, and how they need to come together to prove they are a better team than what we’ve been seeing from them, but that’s just stating the obvious at this point and the Mets are starting Nolan McLean, who totally […]

Game 44 Preview: Tigers try to avoid sweep at Mets on Thursday afternoon
The Detroit Tigers let one get away on Wednesday after the offense once again struggled to get things going, spoiling a strong performance by the pitching staff. Alas, two runs were not going to get the job done that night, as the New York Mets used a seventh-inning run to tie the game and ultimately […]
Troy Melton rehabs in Toledo, Carson Rucker homers twice for Lakeland
Omaha Storm Chasers 3, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Troy Melton’s rehab work went reasonably well for the Hens, but after building a slim early lead they couldn’t add on runs and the Storm Chasers avenged their rough loss on Tuesday. Melton’s stuff looked excellent and he mixed in five different pitches in this outing, […]
Mets 3, Tigers 2 (F/10): An extra-innings fumble, Tigers’ bad luck continues
Despite the Mets’ dismal season record and poor performance this season, the New York club managed to trounce the Tigers on Tuesday. Wednesday night, the Tigers were hoping to get one back and save face a little. They’ve been having an awfully rough go of it lately, and the longer that lasts, and the more […]

Game 43 Preview: Tigers try to even series at Mets on Wednesday night
The struggles continue for the Detroit Tigers, who opened up their three-game road series at the New York Mets on Tuesday night with a miserable 10-2 loss. Jack Flaherty only lasted 3 2/3 innings and gave up three runs, which was all it took to overtake the visitors’ anemic offense. The good news is that […]
Max Anderson rakes in Hens rout of Omaha, Jhonan Coba shines in FCL outing
Toledo Mud Hens 19, Omaha Storm Chasers 1 (box) The Mud Hens got a solid start out of Dylan File, but they didn’t need any help as they piled up the runs early and put it to Storm Chasers’ pitching all game long. Gary Jones first game as Mud Hens manager went quite well. Ben […]
Mets 10, Tigers 2: A lousy excuse for a ball game
After limping out of Kansas City bruised and full of more question-marks than The Riddler, the Tigers went to New York City to face the Mets, who have been terrible so far. Well, the questions kept coming as fast as the Mets scored runs in this one, with the New Yorkers besting the Detroiters by […]
Troy Melton’s rehab moves to Toledo, Casey Mize and Will Vest throw bullpens
The Detroit Tigers tend to keep their injury reports as quiet as possible. That makes it difficult to interpret how things are actually going with various injured players. Zach McKinstry was on the injured list for a few weeks for what was described as hip/abdominal inflammation. Turns out it was a Grade 3 oblique tear […]

Game 42 Preview: Tigers head to Big Apple to take on Mets
The Detroit Tigers open up the second half of their six-game road trip on Tuesday night with a trip to Queens to take on the New York Mets. The team has played an ugly brand of baseball of late — and by “team”, I mean the Tigers, but the Mets have not been great either. […]
Bryce Rainer hits second High-A homer but Whitecaps lose again
Memphis Redbirds 8, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) A day after scoring 13 runs the day before, the Toledo Mud Hens had just six hits in an 8-1 loss, ending the series with the Memphis Redbirds tied at three games apiece. Max Anderson and Andrew Navigato each had two hits, Ben Malgeri drove in the […]
Gage Workman introduced himself with a bang on Sunday
On Sunday night in Kansas City, Detroit Tigers infielder and longtime farm hand Gage Workman, launched a two-run homer in his first major league at-bat with the Tigers. He’s already contributed, but whether he can continue to help the Tigers is a pretty big question mark. For years, Workman has been a talented minor league […]
Tigers 6, Royals 3: The kids are alright, again
The younger Detroit Tigers powered them to victory on Sunday, snapping a five-game skid. Gage Workman launched his first major league homer after being called up for Kerry Carpenter earlier in the day. Hao-Yu Lee and Wenceel Pérez had big RBI knocks, as did Matt Vierling, and the bullpen was pretty good overall filling in […]

Erie can’t win 10th in a row, West Michigan can lose 13th in a row
Toledo Mud Hens 13, Memphis Redbirds 6 (box) The Toledo Mud Hens put up a baker’s dozen to beat the Memphis Redbirds on Saturday and take control of the series. Toledo led from start to finish, scoring in the first inning and pulling away by the second. Max Clark scored the first run of the […]
Game 41 Preview: Tigers try to avoid road sweep at Royals on Sunday
Make it five straight losses for the Detroit Tigers after their 5-1 loss on Saturday night to the Kansas City Royals. Burch Smith’s two runs surrendered in just 1/3 of an inning as the opener was too much for the wet-noodle offense to overcome and… sigh… AJ Hinch’s squad is in danger of its second-straight […]
Royals 5, Tigers 1: Sleepwalking towards the cellar
Once again, the Detroit Tigers did not swing the bats well in this one. The makeshift pitching combination didn’t actually do that badly, but they aren’t scoring any runs, and they watched another player go down with a potential injury as Kerry Carpenter left the game after crashing into the wall on a play in […]

Game 40 Preview: Tigers try to snap four-game losing streak on Saturday
We have reached the magical 40-game mark of the season, the point at which one should have a good idea of what a major league team is made of. However, with the plague of injuries that the Detroit Tigers have sustained so far, it is still pretty difficult to get a clear view of what […]
Troy Melton perfect in rehab start, Jude Warwick and Gage Workman star on Friday
Toledo Mud Hens 10, Memphis Redbirds 4 (b0x) Sawyer Gipson-Long returned off the injury list for this one, and was pretty meh, but he did a lot better than lefty Pete Hansen did against the Hens. Gipson-Long gave up two runs in the top of the first, and then another run before departing in the […]
Tigers 3, Royals 4: Tigers go off the rails late, drop series opener
After a nice Thursday off day, the Tigers are in Kansas City hoping to get some games back in the AL Central and push their way back towards first. The AL Central is an extremely tight race at the moment, so every game really does count, even this early in the year. The Tigers had […]
