July 15, 2018: Tigers 6, Astros 3
The Tigers took a six-game losing streak into a meeting with their former ace, Justin Verlander. But Detroit responded with four homers off its ex-teammate, including one from his neighbor, John Hicks.

May 30, 2018: Tigers 6, Angels 1
Remember the Rally Goose? This was the game. Shortly after the bird’s wayward crash into a ribbon board and subsequent rescue, the Tigers came out of a rain delay to move ahead with five runs in the sixth inning after Shohei Ohtani and his triple-digit fastball left.

Aug. 21, 2019: Tigers 2, Astros 1
For the second time in as many seasons, the Tigers used the long ball to beat ex-teammate Justin Verlander in his new home park in Houston. John Hicks got his fellow Goochland native again, along with Ronny Rodríguez, before a crazy relay play in the ninth inning sealed a Detroit win.

Sept. 10, 2019: Tigers 12, Yankees 11
The Yankees hit six home runs off Tigers pitching, but Detroit answered with 16 hits, including Jordy Mercer’s walk-off single to end a back-and-forth affair that featured seven lead changes.

April 25, 2018: Tigers 13, Pirates 10
The Tigers and Pirates started off a doubleheader with a wild back-and-forth slugfest. Miguel Cabrera doubled three times, Jeimer Candelario scored five times and Nick Castellanos homered in a four-hit, four-RBI afternoon.

March 28, 2019: Tigers 2, Blue Jays 0 (10 innings)
The Tigers opened the 2019 season with a pitching duel that lasted into extra innings before Christin Stewart’s two-run homer accounted for all the offense. Jordan Zimmermann took a perfect game bid into the seventh inning, but Marcus Stroman was up to the challenge.

June 4, 2019: Tigers 9, Rays 6
After being diagnosed with chronic changes to his injured right knee, Miguel Cabrera returned to Detroit’s lineup and found the fountain of youth. His first-inning RBI double off reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell brought the crowd alive before his fifth-inning grand slam sent it to a roar.

May 2, 2018: Tigers 3, Rays 2 (12 innings)
Come for the nice play up the middle by shortstop Jose Iglesias in the third inning. Stay for the walk-off squeeze bunt that catcher John Hicks put down to win it.

Sept. 14, 2019: Tigers 8, Orioles 4
The Tigers were down to their last out before Victor Reyes hit a game-tying homer in the ninth. Then, John Hicks ended it with the Tigers’ first walk-off grand slam since Rajai Davis in 2014.

Sept. 7, 2018: Tigers 5, Cardinals 3
On a weekend when the Tigers celebrated the 50th anniversary of their 1968 World Series championship victory over the Cards, Jeimer Candelario crushed a 102-mph fastball from Jordan Hicks for a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth.

And here are some other games from around the league you might like:

Aug. 17, 2019: Brewers 15, Nationals 14
Christian Yelich homered -- No. 40 -- as part of a three-homer, four-run ninth inning for a 12-11 Brewers lead, only to see the Nationals come back to tie it up against Josh Hader. Yelich homered again in the 13th for a 13-12 lead, only to see the Nats come back again. Finally, in the 14th, the Brewers scored twice and this time held off another Nats surge.

June 27, 2019: Dodgers 12, Rockies 8
The Dodgers overcame a shaky Coors Field start from Walker Buehler (seven runs) with a six-homer onslaught -- two by Max Muncy -- for their 12th consecutive win over Colorado.

July 25, 2019: Orioles 10, Angels 8
The Orioles and Angels had been engaged in a marathon, 6-hour, 16-inning, back-and-forth affair when things went from simply weird to historic. That's because of who closed the game -- outfielder Stevie Wilkerson, who recorded a 1-2-3 bottom of the 16th throwing nothing but mid-50 mph floaters to record the first save by a position player in MLB history.

July 12, 2019: Rangers 9, Astros 8
The Rangers scored five runs in the last three innings to erase the Astros' 8-4 lead. The Rangers hit five home runs in this game, including three off Astros starter Gerrit Cole.

June 23, 2019: Pirates 11, Padres 10
Former manager Clint Hurdle called this “one of the best wins that I’ve watched in nine years here,” and it was a wild one. Down three in the ninth against a closer who hadn’t blown a save all season, the Pirates rallied to force extra innings. Down three again in the 11th, they battled back -- and then all of a sudden rookie shortstop Kevin Newman was at the plate, working a walk-off walk to cap the Bucs’ fourth straight win.
