Game 9 Preview: Tigers look to complete sweep of Cardinals
The Detroit Tigers have opened up their 2026 home schedule with a pair of wins against the St. Louis Cardinals and are looking to finish off the sweep on Sunday night in front of a national TV audience. Originally, Justin Verlander was supposed to make his Comerica Park debut in the finale of the three-game […]
How are the Detroit Tigers doing with ABS?
It’s 2026, which means baseball is partially governed by robots. More precisely, the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system is in place with the challenge system. Lots of ink, including our own, has been spilled on the new system; personally, I’m a fan of this intermediate step between letting CB Bucknor do whatever he wants and replacing […]
Malachi Witherspoon shines in debut, rough night for other Tigers affiliates
Syracuse Mets 9, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (box) Toledo and Syracuse traded runs over the first five innings before settling at a 7-7 tie in the fifth. The Mets took the lead for good in the sixth and added an insurance run in the eighth, eventually beating the Mud Hens 9-7. Joander Suarez didn’t give […]
Tigers 11, Cardinals 6: Hot bats overcome a Flaherty implosion
The Tigers made it 2-0 at home and 4-4 overall with a convincing show of power on Saturday. The pitching, particularly Jack Flaherty, was pretty sketchy, but four home runs from the Tigers set things right in a game that devolved into a slop fest in the bottom of the eighth and top of the […]

Organizational sweep as LHP Ben Jacobs shows out in pro debut for Lakeland
Toledo Mud Hens 7, Syracuse Mets 1 (box) Hens pitching was on point again against a good offense, and the Bats lit up Mets’ pitching again to take a 3-1 lead in the best of six series on Friday. Max Clark continues to rake in his first look at the Triple-A level. He still has […]
Game 8 Preview: Tigers look to clinch series against Cardinals
The Detroit Tigers were victorious in their 2026 home opener on Friday, snapping a four-game losing streak with a 4-0 win over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. They look to secure their second series win of the season on Saturday in another early duel starting at 1:10 p.m. ET. Next up in the rotation is […]
Tigers 4, Cardinals 0: A warm welcome home
Happy Opening Day, Detroit! Today’s home opener marked the warmest Opening Day ever at Comerica Park (70 degrees Farenheit at game-time), and the warmest Tigers Opening Day in general since 1991. The Tigers lineup also warmed up following Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to the Diamondbacks, and new Tigers ace Framber Valdez came through with six shutout […]

The Detroit Tigers 2026 draft bonus pool is announced
After three pretty successful drafts, the Detroit Tigers enter the 2026 edition of the amateur draft picking way down the board for the second straight year. It’s too early to go crazy over their last three first round picks, but so far Bryce Rainer, Jordan Yost, and Michael Oliveto look like one heck of a […]
Mud Hens bludgeon Jonah Tong and the Mets, Whitecaps win season opener
Toledo Mud Hens 17, Syracuse Mets 7 (box) The Mud Hens crushed the 46th ranked prospect in the game, right-hander Jonah Tong, with a furious barrage on Thursday that knocked Tong out of the game in the second inning. They poured it on against the Mets bullpen, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. Max […]
Game 7 Preview: Tigers host Cardinals for 2026 home opener
The Detroit Tigers open their 2026 home schedule on Friday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals after starting the season with just two wins in their first six games. That pair of victories came in the opening series against the San Diego Padres — the first two games of the campaign, to be exact — […]
Konnor Griffin’s reported deal sets parameters of a Kevin McGonigle extension
On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced they were calling up baseball’s consensus top prospect, shortstop and sometime center fielder, Konnor Griffin. The 19-year-old wasn’t promoted for Opening Day due to a combination of factors that had more to do with team control and leverage toward a contract, but his high strikeout rate in spring training […]
Tigers’ strengths and weaknesses were on display in opening road trip
For many years, fans of Midwest and northeast teams wondered why MLB didn’t schedule most early series in warmer weather. Now, for two seasons they’ve made it happen. Just like the 2025 season, when they opened against the Dodgers and the Mariners on the road, the Tigers opening road trip has ended with a 2-4 […]
Bless You Boys Book Club: Unhittable by Rob Friedman
There’s something a lot of the BYB writing crew have in common, something we think we share with a fair number of our regular site visitors: we love to read. Several of us even have real life jobs that are related to books in some capacity. So we thought it seemed like an ideal opportunity […]
Clark doubles twice, bullpen crumbles late in Hens’ loss
Mets 4, Mud Hens 2 (box) So far, the Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate has mirrored the big league club to a degree. Wenceel Pérez has the sole home run through five games. Of course that’s a lot more understandable when you’re playing in upstate New York this time of year. On the pitching side, the bullpen […]
Tigers 0, Diamondbacks 1: Tarik Skubal’s solid start squandered by silent bats
West Coast game times, we won’t miss you! The initial two series of the Tigers season have been rough for anyone with a strict bedtime, and the results have been more mixed than fans would have liked, but the Tigers took to the field on Wednesday hoping to keep the Diamondbacks from completing the series […]

Game 6 Preview: Tigers try to avoid sweep at Diamondbacks
After opening the 2026 campaign with a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres, the Detroit Tigers are in danger of getting swept in their second series of the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. The first two games have resulted in a 9-6 loss on Monday night and a 7-5 loss on Tuesday […]
Colt Keith is swinging harder than ever early this year
My love for Colt Keith knows no bounds. There’s no style of prospect I love more than a middle infielder with plus hit and power tools, which Keith was as he tore his way through the minor leagues. You know I love this guy: in the last month, I’ve written an article about how he […]
Toledo takes down Syracuse in series opener
Hens 5, Mets 1 (F/7) The Mud Hens came out on top in the first of six against the Syracuse Mets on Tuesday afternoon. The Hens pounced on the Mets in the top of the first and cruised to victory as the game was called in the seventh due to rain. Veteran Cubs’ closer Carl […]
Diamondbacks 7, Tigers 5: That escalated quickly
A night after a not-quite-comeback in Arizona on Monday, the Tigers were the ones with the comfortable lead for most of the game on Tuesday before it all went belly-up late in the game, ending up with a 7-5 loss. Making his season debut for the Tigers was Casey Mize, who had a generally solid […]

AJ Hinch moves Colt Keith and Kevin McGonigle up in the order
Kerry Carpenter has been in a pretty rough place this spring. After a fairly good, but again injury plagued 2025 season, the Tigers’ right fielder and designated hitter came into camp looking to put together a more consistent 2026 and hopefully finally banish the back and hamstring injuries that have nagged at him for much […]
