Guardians 3, Tigers 1: A great start by Casey Mize couldn’t dodge the sweep
The fourth game of the Tigers’ miserable series against the Guardians kicked off this afternoon and the best thing I can say about this series is that it’s almost over. The other positive was that Casey Mize was on the mound for the Tigers, up against Joey Cantillo for the Guardians. The Tigers learned a […]

The Detroit Tigers season hangs by a thread
So many things have gone wrong with the Detroit Tigers already this season that it’s hard to know where to even start unpacking it all. After a third straight loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, they hold a 20-30 record, 10 games under .500. In all of baseball history, only one team in the […]
Game 51 Preview: Tigers try to prevent 4-game sweep by Guardians on Thursday
Another day, another loss for the Detroit Tigers, who once again failed to score in sufficient quantities en route to a 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians in extra innings on Tuesday night. AJ Hinch got a great performance out of Drew Anderson, and while the bullpen ultimately gave up the lead and the game, […]
Pacheco and Peck go yard in Erie win, Ben Jacobs deals for Whitecaps
Toledo Mud Hens 3, Indianapolis Indians 2 (F/7)(box)(Gm1) Sawyer Gipson-Long put together his best outing since coming off the injured list, and the bullpen did a nice job holding down Indy in Game 1 on Wednesday. The right-hander tossed 3 2/3 innings of one-hit ball with two walks against six strikeouts. Still no sign of […]
Guardians 3, Tigers 2 (F/10): One run is never enough
Hey, we’re back, still playing the Guardians. Let’s just roll right into the recap. The Tigers had a bullpen day going because they have no healthy pitchers left to use, so the starter was Drew Anderson, while the Guardians were leaning on Tanner Bibee. While Bibee hasn’t had a bad season, he also hasn’t recorded […]

MLB News: Tarik Skubal bullpen, Gerrit Cole returns, Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Pete Crow-Armstrong fined
Happy Wednesday, everyone. While there might not be much to celebrate if you’re looking at the Tigers’ place in the standings, we have a little good news to temper the bad in today’s links. For starters, Tarik Skubal is already throwing bullpens, which has to give anyone a glimmer of hope. Plus, the Tigers have […]
Game 50 Preview: Can Tigers break through against Guardians on Wednesday?
The Detroit Tigers lost another close game on Tuesday night, succumbing to the Cleveland Guardians, 4-3, in a matchup that saw the good guys go 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and leaving 10 runners on base. And thus the futility continues… It looks like AJ Hinch is planning for a bullpen day on Wednesday […]
Troy Melton rehabs well in Lakeland walkoff win, Jhonan Coba dominates in FCL action
Toledo Mud Hens vs. Indianapolis Indians (postponed) Rains washed out Tuesday’s start of this series in Toledo and sent Troy Melton back down to Lakeland to get a rehab start in. They’ll play two tomorrow starting at 11:05 a.m. ET. Altoona Curve 4, Erie SeaWolves 2 (box) Seth Stephenson returned from the injury list in […]
Guardians 4, Tigers 3: A close game, but the Tigers continue their losing streak
The Tigers went into their second of four games against the Cleveland Guardians tonight, hoping to split the series early and end their growing losing streak. They had Keider Montero on the mound, up against Parker Messick for the Guardians. After a rough series opener on Monday, Detroit definitely wanted to turn things around for […]

Game 49 Preview: Tigers try to stop the pain on Tuesday vs Guardians
The pain continues for the Detroit Tigers, who opened up their four-game home series with an 8-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians in yet another vulgar display of offensive futility. Framber Valdez did not help the cause, coughing up four runs in five innings, setting up a deficit that could not be overcome. So now […]
Guardians 8, Tigers 2: Silent bats and sluggish defense stymie Tigers
Happy Monday, everyone. The Tigers lost their weekend series against the Jays, but it’s a new week, so perhaps new opportunities lie ahead. The Tigers will start trying that today as they open their four-game home series against the Cleveland Guardians. The Guardians currently hold a tenuous lead in the AL Central, so these next […]

Reverse Scouting Kevin McGonigle
By any measure, Tigers’ rookie Kevin McGonigle is having an excellent rookie year. The number two prospect in all of baseball coming into the year has an impressive .291/.397/.424 slash for the season and is walking more than he’s striking out. With his blistering start, he quickly settled into the leadoff slot of Detroit’s lineup. […]
Game 48 Preview: Tigers open up 4-game home series vs Guardians on Monday
It has been a rough month for the Detroit Tigers, who have just four wins in 15 tries so far in May after dropping two of three to the Toronto Blue Jays in the first leg of their seven-game homestand. The visitors struck early on Sunday, getting a pair of runs in the first and […]
Peck and Callahan homer in Erie victory, Charlie Christensen strikes out seven for Lakeland
Omaha Storm Chasers 6, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Dylan File had a rough day on the mound, and the Hens offense just couldn’t string enough runs together as they dropped the series four games to two in Omaha on Sunday. The Hens took an early lead when Ben Malgeri led off the game with […]
Blue Jays 4, Tigers 1: Bats quiet, Flaherty a bit better
The rubber match of a three-game weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays took place on a sunny, summer-like Sunday afternoon in Detroit. Alas, the Tigers dropped the finale and thus the series by a 4-1 score. Jack Flaherty made his tenth start for the Tigers, and his troubles have been well-documented this season. His […]

Game 47 Preview: Tigers seek rubber-match win over Blue Jays on Sunday
The Detroit Tigers dropped their second extra-inning affair in the last four games on Saturday afternoon with a 2-1 loss in 10 innings at Comerica Park, tying the weekend series. The offense once again failed to show up and the bullpen simply did not have enough in it to hold on until the bats woke […]
Owen Hall throws three perfect frames in FCL play, Valencia homers again for Hens
Omaha Storm Chasers 11, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Eduardo Valencia continues to swing a hot bat, but a bullpen day for the Hens did not go well. Things did start well, as Ben Malgeri led off the game with a double, and Max Clark smoked a drive to right for an RBI double, but […]
Blue Jays 2, Tigers 1 (F/10): Casey Mize shines in return but the offense sputters
Casey Mize returned in fine form in this one, but the Detroit Tigers remain hamstrung offensively. The Toronto Blue Jays are having similar issues, but they pulled this one out in the tenth against Tyler Holton, and Louis Varland closed out the Tigers to even the series at a game apiece on Saturday afternoon. Saturday’s […]

Game 46 Preview: Tigers look to clinch home series win vs Blue Jays
The Detroit Tigers snapped a three-game losing streak on Friday night with a 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in the first game of the home series this weekend.
