River Ryan debuts in Mud Hens victory
Toledo Mud Hens 7, Iowa Cubs 3 (box) River Ryan’s debut in the Tigers organization went well, and the Hens won pretty comfortably on Wednesday. Ryan is working back from a right hamstring injury that he aggravated in trying to return with the Dodgers too soon. So the Tigers have understandably taken their sweet time […]
Tigers put together a strong effort to finally win a series
Keider Montero had another somewhat shaky outing, but otherwise the Tigers played their best game in recent weeks. Colt Keith set the tone with an early homer, and the Tigers walked, stole bases, and pitched really well ouf of the bullpen to take down the Twins and win their first series since mid-August by a […]
Watch River Ryan make his debut for the Toledo Mud Hens
We’ve been waiting to get a look at right-hander River Ryan since the Tigers acquired him from the Los Angeles Dodgers as a key part of the Tarik Skubal trade. The 28-year-old has missed much of the season with a right hamstring strain that reoccured the first time he came off the injured list in […]

Tigers try to salvage a series win against Twins on Wednesday afternoon
The Detroit Tigers dropped the second game of their three-game home series against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night, falling 3-2 in yet another disappointing outcome for the Olde English D. Drew Anderson gave up all three runs to take the loss while Kevin McGonigle continued his run for Rookie of the Year by providing […]
River Ryan’s rehab start rained out, Luke Shliger rampages for the SeaWolves
Toledo Mud Hens at Iowa Cubs (cancelled) They were rained out in Iowa on Tuesday, postponing the long-awaited Tigers debut of River Ryan. The game doesn’t matter in the International League standings, and won’t be made up, so we should see Ryan start Wednesday’s game at 1:10 p.m. ET. Erie SeaWolves 6, Reading Fightin Phils […]
Twins pitching keeps Tigers bats quiet to even the series
The pitching and defense were pretty good all around in this one, and neither offense got much going. The Tigers briefly held the lead after a Kevin McGonigle blast, but the difference was a two-run shot from Kody Clemens in the sixth off of Drew Anderson that gave them a one-run lead which held up. […]

Tigers can clinch first series in what seems like forever against Twins on Tuesday
The Detroit Tigers opened up their six-game homestand on Labor Day with a narrow 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Troy Melton had some hiccups, but the bullpen held strong this time, while the offense had just enough juice to outlast the visitors. Taking the mound in Game 2 for the Olde English D is […]
Homers power Tigers in victory over Twins
The Tigers looked to right the ship after several crushing, walk-off losses in Cleveland over the weekend, coming home for a three-game series against another division rival, the Minnesota Twins. They got a little revenge on their opponent for bashing them around last week, starting off the series with a tight 5-4 win featuring a […]

The Tigers could bolster the SeaWolves postseason roster with Ben Jacobs and Bryce Rainer
The Detroit Tigers’ Double-A affiliate, the Erie SeaWolves, is the only one of the Tigers full season minor league teams to reach the postseason this year. That’s a credit to manager Tony Cappuccilli, who survived a lack of pitching prospects to get the SeaWolves to the postseason for the fifth straight season. With the A-ball […]
Tigers head home to host Twins for 3-game weekday series starting Monday
Things are looking rough for the Detroit Tigers as the season winds down after dropping three of four to the Cleveland Guardians this past weekend, making it six losses over the last eight games. To make matters worse, all three defeats at Progressive Field came in walk-off fashion as the team continues to struggle in […]
Flaherty rehabs, Zyhir Hope homers as Erie clinches
Indianapolis Indians 8, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) Jack Flaherty returned to game action Sunday, making his first appearance since right forearm flexor inflammation sent him to the injured list in July. The veteran right-hander worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings before Toledo’s bullpen blew a two-run lead in the ninth. Flaherty gave up a one-out […]
Cleveland walks off the Tigers yet again
On Sunday the Detroit Tigers tried to salvage a split of their four-game weekend series against the Guardians in Cleveland on a breezy Sunday afternoon. Alas, for the third time in three days, the Guardians came away with a walk-off victory, a 3-2 win in ten innings. In all three, Cleveland never threw a pitch […]

Tigers try to split series with Guardians on Sunday afternoon
The Detroit Tigers bounced back from a pair of walkoff losses during Friday night’s doubleheader to blank the Cleveland Guardians, 6-0, on Saturday night. Riley Greene’s four-hit performance powered the good guys against a potential Rookie of the Year candidate while the pitching staff threw its first shutout since blanking the Guards back on Aug. […]
Seth Stephenson walks off Somerset as the SeaWolves split doubleheader
Toledo Mud Hens 5, Indianapolis Indians 3 (box) Sawyer Gipson-Long gave up three in the first, but he settled in from there and the Hens bullpen was sharp as they took down Indy again on Saturday. Down 3-0 in the bottom of the first, Trei Cruz and Cal Stevenson walked. Max Anderson reached on a […]
Riley Greene and Framber Valdez power Tigers over Guardians
The Tigers needed some of their big names to get it together and win them a game. Framber Valdez answered the call with seven shutout frames on Saturday, while Riley Greene homered twice and drove in four in a four-hit game. The bullpen only needed to go two innings to hold a 6-0 lead, and […]

Tigers look to bounce back from doubleheader sweep vs Guardians on Saturday
The Detroit Tigers were swept in their Friday doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, coughing up leads in both games, resulting in walk-off losses. These defeats just seem to get more and more brutal as the season mercifully wanes. Getting the start for the Motor City Kitties on Saturday evening is left-hander Framber […]
Michael Massey and Jhonan Coba pitch well for Lakeland, Whitecaps get eliminated
Indianapolis Indians 6, Toledo Mud Hens 0 (box) The Hens managed just five hits in this one and really only mustered a few minor threats to score. Dylan File got the start. The right-hander was good for four innings and then gave up four runs in the fifth and another in the sixth. Hayden Minton […]
Tigers blow lead and get walked off by the Guardians again
This season ending will just feel like mercy at this point. We enjoyed seeing a really good starting debut from lefty Andrew Sears, but the Tigers squandered chances to expand an early lead, couldn’t put together a late run even in the tenth, and got themselves walked off 4-3 by Travis Bazzana. Good times. The […]
Tigers blow lead and get walked off by the Guardians
This game was just about a perfect microcosm of the season. The bullpen can’t hold up to pull out a tight game very often, an early lead crumbled in one terrible inning from Keider Montero, and after a nice burst from the offense early they went to sleep when it mattered most, doing nothing in […]
