Erie splits doubleheader while Jesus Pinto’s big game not enough for Lakeland

Toledo Mud Hens 2, Omaha Storm Chasers 1 (box) Toledo won its fifth straight game against Omaha, 2-1, despite only recording three hits on Sunday.

Tigers 8, Reds 3: Sweepless in Cincinnati

After a gut-punch of a loss on Friday night, and a generalized shellacking on Saturday, could the Tigers salvage at least one win from their three-game series in Cincinnati? Well, with the help of some nice home runs — surprise, surprise, in this bandbox — and a feat not seen in a Tiger uniform for […]

Spencer Torkelson homers for fifth straight game, tying Tigers franchise record

After a slow start to the 2026 season, Detroit Tigers’ first baseman Spencer Torkelson is suddenly scorching hot. His approach has remained strong throughout some early struggles, with a consistently low chase rate and plenty of walks. He just wasn’t swinging at enough strikes. Problem solved. On Sunday, Torkelson homered for the fifth straight game, […]

Paging bullpen support for the Detroit Tigers

It’s a given year, and a given baseball season, and so the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen is a problem. Despite a nice run of 3-1-1 in their last five series, things still feel too precarious for any comfort. The club has the 19th best ERA and the 23rd best FIP out of their relief corps currently. […]

Casey Mize is pitching better than ever in 2026

Casey Mize has had an interesting career since being drafted 1st overall in 2018. Despite career highlights that include a Minor League no-hitter in his AA debut and a 2025 All-Star Game appearance, Mize has often felt underwhelming for a one-time top prospect. Some of that is due to injuries like Tommy John surgery wiping […]

Game 29 Preview: Tigers try to prevent a sweep at the Reds on Sunday

The Detroit Tigers have dropped the first two games of the weekend series at the Cincinnati Reds after their 9-2 loss on Saturday night. Jack Flaherty looked completely lost on the mound while solo shots by Kevin McGonigle and Spencer Torkleson were all that the offense could muster. On Sunday, they turn to right-hander Keider […]

Reds 9, Tigers 2: Bad Jack strikes again

Jack Flaherty had zero command of anything in this one and was mauled for six runs in two innings of work. Even accounting for Flaherty’s usual rollercoaster nature, this is two in a row where he really couldn’t put the fastball remotely where he wanted it with any consistency. Kevin McGonigle and Spencer Torkelson homered […]

Game 29 Preview: Tigers look to even series at Reds on Saturday

The Detroit Tigers dropped their series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, 9-8, in a walk-off on Friday night after building an early lead and sitting through a two-hour rain delay.

Reds 9, Tigers 8: Bullpen breakdown, Queen City shakedown

The Tigers continued their string of games against National League Central opponents on Friday night, in the opener of a three-game series against the Reds on the banks of the Ohio River. There was a big early lead which evaporated, and then a nice comeback for a late lead, but one final home run doomed […]

Tigers 5, Brewers 4: Spencer Torkelson is a walk-off hero

It’s our second early game of the week, but thankfully this one wasn’t so early we needed coffee to get through it. The Tigers were hoping to come away with a series win, and with Tarik Skubal on the mound, that could only help their case. They had a great game on Wednesday night, and […]
