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 […]

Tigers open up 4-game series at Guardians with doubleheader on Friday
The Detroit Tigers are moving on to the second leg of their current American League Central road trip starting on Friday with a doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. The opener of the four-game series is a make-up for a matchup originally scheduled for June 14 that was postponed due to weather. On […]
Jackson Wolf throws six hitless innings, Lakeland launches three homers
Toledo Mud Hens 2, Indianapolis Indians 1 (box) Jackson Wolf delivered six hitless innings, and Toledo reclaimed the lead in the eighth to earn its third consecutive win over Indianapolis. Four Mud Hens pitchers combined to allow just one hit while striking out 12. Wolf’s only two blemishes were a leadoff walk in the second […]
Ben Jacobs strikes out 10 as Whitecaps keep their postseason hopes alive
Toledo Mud Hens 11, Indianapolis Indians 2 (box) The Hens took advantage of 8 walks to crush Indy on Wednesday night. The Carl Edwards Jr. experiment has been an absolute rollercoaster, but they got the good version in this one. The veteran right-hander gave up a run in the first, and then powered through four […]
Tigers take down Twins a wild 12 inning affair
Well this game had everything. A nice early lead, defensive miscues from rookie defenders, bad bullpen work, heroics, more shaky bullpen work, and finally 12th inning heroics from Spencer Torkelson as the Tigers staved off the sweep with an 11-6 victory over the Twins very late on Wednesday night. The Tigers took the field looking […]

Ben Jacobs is finishing the season strong in West Michigan
Left-handed pitching prospect Ben Jacobs was the Detroit Tigers third round pick in the 2025 amateur draft out of Arizona State University. We liked the pick at the time for his fastball shape, strike throwing, and his developing bag of secondary pitches, but there was also a bet placed on his physical projection. With refined […]
Tigers try to salvage series vs Twins on Wednesday
The Detroit Tigers took a spanking at the hands of the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, succumbing to a 10-run rally in the sixth inning en route to a 15-2 defeat. For the second night in a row, the Olde English D was left bruised and battered, having been outscored at Target Field so far, 26-3. […]
Jackson Strong, Bryce Rainer, and Zyhir Hope all homer in Tuesday’s action
Toledo Mud Hens 9, Indianapolis Indians 7 (box) Austin Gomber had a rough outing, but so did Indians’ starter Noah Davis. The Hens bullpen wasn’t good in this one, but it was enough to hang on and win. With two out in the bottom of the first, Max Anderson singled to right and then took […]
Twins crush hapless Tigers yet again
The Twins bullied the Tigers again on Wednesday, putting up a score of 15-2 in this one and outdoing the beatdown they issued on Monday. Troy Melton struggled, the defense was atrocious, and while it was ugly with Melton in the game, it was farce once Kyle Finnegan took over, and by the time he […]

Has Hao-Yu Lee secured a spot on the 2027 Tigers roster?
Amid the chaos of the 2026 Detroit Tigers season, we’ve also gotten a strong dose of the future. Kevin McGonigle is now the man in that dugout, and Max Clark is off to a nice start despite his youth. Eduardo Valencia, Ben Malgeri, and Brett Callahan have all shown some good things. The rookies are […]

Tigers try to tie Twins series with win on Tuesday
The Detroit Tigers dropped the series opener against the Minnesota Twins, 11-1, at Target Field on Monday night in a game that everyone wants to quickly forget. Jackson Jobe managed to escape trouble through the early innings, but it finally caught up with him in the fifth, when a three-run dinger opened the gates for […]
Twins trounce Tigers with homers aplenty
The Tigers went to Minnesota to open a three-game series with their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. They did nothing to assuage their fans’ fears on Monday night, dropping said series opener by a 11-1 score. Starting for the Tigers was Jackson Jobe, making his fifth start this year after recovering from Tommy John […]

John Peck to the main stage for his major league debut
Reports surfaced on Sunday that infield prospect John Peck would be promoted to Detroit to make his major league debut on the road against the Minnesota Twins. The Tigers seventh round pick back in 2023 out of Pepperdine University, the recently turned 24-year-old was always a quality defender, but over the past year he’s broken […]
Things the Detroit Tigers should do in September
Well, barring a real miracle, the Detroit Tigers 2026 season is a lost cause. After playing themselves back into contention by the middle of August, they’ve absolutely cratered since getting swept by the Chicago White Sox. A massive payroll expansion, multiple talented rookies added to the mix, Jackson Jobe’s return from Tommy John surgery, and […]
Drew Sommers has emerged as a high leverage arm for the Tigers
Very little has gone right for Detroit’s bullpen this year. The three veteran closing options have all underwhelmed, or in Will Vest’s suffered injuries, and many of the optionable depth arms they’ve relied on in the past have struggled, too. Amidst those struggles, one surprising candidate has emerged as perhaps AJ Hinch’s most reliable option: […]
Tigers hit the road to take on the Twins this week
The Detroit Tigers played things close with the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers for most of the weekend, but came away with just one win in the three-game series after a 6-1 defeat on Sunday afternoon. Framber Valdez gave his team five frames of one-run ball, but a hung changeup in the sixth broke a 1-1 […]
Izaac Pacheco homers twice, Jace Jung drives in five
Toledo Mud Hens 10, St. Paul Saints 6 (box) Toledo scored 10 runs across the fourth and fifth innings to secure a 4-2 series victory. Jace Jung delivered the biggest swing with his 20th home run of the season, a grand slam that gave him five RBI. Riley Greene started in left field for his […]
Tyler Glasnow stuffs the Tigers in a locker
The Tigers were in this one as long as their pitching held up, and that lasted about six innings. A good start from Framber Valdez got a bit spoiled at the end, and then the bullpen fell apart in the late innings. More to the point, the Tigers managed just two hits on the day […]

River Ryan is the Tigers’ X factor for the future
With the Tigers hopes for a wild card spot just about spent, it’s time to start looking a little further ahead. The Tigers do have some players bound to return from the injured list in September, and one of them in particular could have a huge impact on their future fortunes. Riley Greene is already […]
