ST. PETERSBURG -- On getaway night, the Tigers couldn’t find a way to close out a sweep of the Rays. Instead, following a 7-5 defeat on Wednesday at Tropicana Field, Detroit was consoled by winning the road series and getting a much-needed off-day after a rigorous 14-day stretch. “We’re going

There is little that isn't impressive about Jackson Jobe. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder cuts an imposing figure atop the mound and that's before he even delivers a pitch. When Jobe does unleash his upper-90s heat, or a sweeping 70-grade slider or a changeup that drops off the table, he profiles as

ST. PETERSBURG -- Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal made it look easy Monday night. It was pitch-and-catch, a master class, as dominant of an early season performance that you could witness. After the Tigers wrapped up a 7-1 victory against the Rays at Tropicana Field, in which Skubal allowed just three

MINNEAPOLIS -- The last time Casey Mize left the mound in front of Twins fans, he got a standing ovation. That was in the final week of Spring Training, when Mize tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings in one of his final tuneups for his return to the Tigers’ rotation after

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Tigers lost their second infielder to injury in as many weeks with Gio Urshela’s exit from Friday’s 5-4 win against the Twins at Target Field. Urshela hobbled off the field after running out a groundout to second base to lead off the second inning. On Saturday, Detroit

DETROIT -- From his spot in center field, Parker Meadows saw fans leaving Comerica Park’s lower bowl in the ninth inning of a one-run game and wondered what was going on. “I started panicking when they said on the loudspeaker for everyone to take cover,” Meadows said. “I was like,

Tarik Skubal's ascendance to an MLB ace began on April 30, 2021. That day was the genesis of what's become one of baseball's most unhittable pitches: Skubal's changeup.

For a game that’s been around for so long, baseball still has a way of providing plays we’ve in all likelihood never seen before. The Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers Triple-A affiliate) had such a play against the Rochester Red Wings (Nationals) on Tuesday night. As Toledo’s starting pitcher Devin Sweet
