Tigers try to take rubber match from Cubs on Wednesday

Big first inning propels to Cubs to a laugher

The Detroit Tigers looked to follow up Monday night’s thrilling win with another on Tuesday night on the north side of Chicago. Instead, the Cubs pantsed the Tigers to the tune of an 11-2 drubbing.

Looking at Tarik Skubal’s trade value

As the Detroit Tigers entered the All-Star break in 2026, they had salvaged what started out to be a terrible season, falling 16 games under .500 and 11.5 games behind the division lead. But since June 1st, they have been as good as any team in the league and pulled to within 4.5 games of […]

Tigers look to clinch road series vs Cubs on Tuesday

The Detroit Tigers opened up their three-game road series against the Chicago Cubs on Monday night with a nail-biting 8-6 victory in 10 innings. It began with a half-hour rain delay and ended in extra frames, and in between the two was plenty of action and zaniness. But what is important is that the good […]

Home runs giveth, home runs taketh away in extra innings win

It took 10 innings about three and a half hours, but the Tigers beat the Cubs 8-6. After dropping the final game of their series against the Angels, the Tigers were hoping to have a good series against the Chicago Cubs, knowing they can’t really afford to lose multiple games in a row. To get […]

Gleyber Torres activated, Eduardo Valencia optioned to Toledo

Here’s the good news: noted ‘professional hitter’ Gleyber Torres is back. His rehab from his second oblique injury of 2026 has progressed to minor league games, and he recently cracked a home run in his second Single-A game on Saturday. That was enough apparently, but more to the point, the Tigers are running out of […]

Tigers open up second half of road trip vs Cubs on Monday

The Detroit Tigers failed to complete the sweep of the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday afternoon, falling short by a run in a 3-2 defeat in Anaheim. Casey Mize was knocked out early after getting hit on the left wrist with a 108 mph comebacker and the offense wasted all of its gas the night […]

Jobe sharp in 3-inning start for Erie, Briceno hits grand slam

Toledo Mud Hens 6, Gwinnett Stripers 5 (box) Toledo avoided the three-game sweep with a 6-5 win on Sunday thanks to a walk-off homer from Jace Jung. Jung crushed a sweeper to lead off the bottom of the ninth, wearing the Charlie Brown jersey. It’s been a decent year for Jung, who passed his 2024 […]

Bats go silent as the Angels avoid the sweep

Casey Mize didn’t have a great outing, but he was victimized a bit by his teammates in this one as well. A Jo Adell comebacker caught him in the wrist in the fourth inning and he had to leave the game. We’ll hope it’s nothing too serious. The bullpen did a pretty solid job the […]

Gleyber Torres homers for Lakeland, affiliates struggle overall

It’s doubleheader day on the farm for Detroit’s affiliates thanks to rain, smoke and flying pigs squirrels. Toledo, West Michigan and the Complex League club all played two today, so dig in and let’s get through it together. (F/7) Gwinnett Stripers 5, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) The Mud Hens scored two total runs and […]

Skubal deals and Torkelson mashes in easy win over Angels

After a thrilling ninth-inning comeback for the win on Friday night, the Tigers had their first crack at a series win against the Angels somewhere in the greater Los Angeles area. The drama was racheted-down considerably on Saturday night, though, with a convincing 7-0 win, ensuring a series victory. Making his fourteenth start for the […]

Tigers look to take series from Angels on Saturday

The Detroit Tigers came charging out of the All-Star break with a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim on Saturday night. Troy Melton and Keider Montero combined to hold the opponent to just one run while a ninth-inning rally that saw Hao-Yu Lee plate the two winning runs gave the visitors all […]

Tigers start second half with a late-inning comeback win

The Tigers avoided a shutout in their first game back after the break with a 2-1 win over the Angels, scoring both their runs in the ninth inning. Welcome back from the break, everyone!

Tigers open up second half on road against Angels on Friday

Welcome back from the All-Star break, Detroit Tigers fans! AJ Hinch and Co. open up the “second half” of the 2026 campaign on the road against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim starting on Friday night. It will be a late start for those of us in the more easterly time zones — and will […]

First round pick RHP Cameron Flukey signs with Tigers

The Detroit Tigers have reportedly come to terms with their first five draft picks in the 2026 amateur draft, as well as few select other picks so far. We’ve been waiting for numbers to be announced so we can begin to get an idea how many of their prep and JUCO picks they might actually […]

The Tigers still don’t want to trade Tarik Skubal

The national baseball media has been trying to trade Tarik Skubal from the minute the Detroit Tigers were eliminated from the ALDS by the Seattle Mariners last October. That’s not a surprise, because it’s a good storyline, and one that media in major markets loves to push as the big spending teams pluck talent from […]
