Wins have been hard to come by for the Minnesota Twins this season, and especially difficult to earn against the Detroit Tigers in recent years.
Daniel Schlereth (left shoulder tendinitis) went on the 15-day disabled list May 7 after it was determined his injury occurred while he was pitching for the Tigers.
As a manager, it seems Jim Leyland is a pretty good psychologist.
Jose Valverde sustained a back injury trying to complete the ninth inning Tuesday and had to be taken out with two on and two out and Detroit holding a 10-6 lead.
The Tigers return home from their nine-game road trip to begin a five-game homestand at Comerica Park tomorrow night.
An eight-run sixth inning helped the Detroit Tigers defeat the Chicago White Sox 10-8 on Tuesday.
I understand that Tiger fans are disappointed with the start of the season, I am too.
Prince Fielder managed to break out of a career-worst slump, but he couldn't help his Detroit Tigers get any closer to ending theirs.
The Tigers have a different hero every day when they win and a new goat when they don't.
Prince Fielder lined a two-run double to deep center field in the first inning Monday for his first hit in 23 official at-bats and then singled his next two times up.
Lefty Drew Smyly had thrown just 69 pitches.
The Detroit Tigers let a lead slip away and lose to the Chicago White Sox 7-5 on Monday.
When Drew Smyly looks back on the landmark dates in the history of his life, I highly doubt that May 14th, 2012 will register (that is unless Mr. Smyly has some history on his agenda for tonight's start in Chicago).
A chance to face the Chicago White Sox couldn't come at a much better time for struggling Detroit Tigers slugger Prince Fielder.
It's a puzzle Jim Leyland says he can't figure out.
Big players come up big in big games, the cliche goes.
Andy Dirks ran his hitting streak to eight games Sunday with a single to center in the first inning.
The only time you would expect to see the names "Brandon Inge" and "Lou Gehrig" in the same sentence would be something to the effect that both men played Major League Baseball. And both were in the American League. But Inge now has the unlikely distinction of being the first player to have at least four rbi's in four games during a five-game stretch since Gehrig did it way back in 1931.
Justin Verlander pitched seven strong innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Oakland A's 3-1 on Sunday.
The A's opening-day starter scattered four hits in seven innings to quiet fears of another serious injury setback. McCarthy (3-3) had struck out 10 batters only twice before.
Coming off one of their best offensive performances of the season, the Tigers continue their four-game road set with the Oakland Athletics on Friday night.
While it might be a stretch to say that the Detroit and Oakland match-up was highly anticipated - eyes were on Brandon Inge just to see what he'd do at the plate.
Don't even worry about position on the field. It doesn't matter. When the lineup is posted from this point forward, Dirks should be in it. Every night.
When the team is struggling, though, waiting for Raburn to starting hitting again can be like waiting for the next flight after yours has been cancelled.
You want me to say it. I know you do. I'm essentially a trained seal, and this is about the time I'd be bellowing something about panic in a place called Tigertown.
