Royals 8, Tigers 0: Bullpen goes full meltdown in loss

This was a really good pitching duel until Tyler Holton crumbled to dust in the ninth.

This was a tense 1-0 game all afternoon, but the Tigers bullpen went full Chernobyl in the ninth inning to blow any chance of a comeback and then go on to turn this into a rout for Kansas City.

For seven innings, we got an excellent pitching duel between two of the highest spin breaking ball pitchers in the game. Reese Olson’s slider and Seth Lugo’s power...

Keider Montero struggled with his control in Game 2 on Wednesday, but the bullpen was nails and the offense did just enough to sweep the doubleheader.

Montero gave up a walk and a then allowed the runner to advance on a pickoff throw that went wild in the first inning, but he bounced back for a pair of strikeouts to escape. In the second...

Celebrate in Pizza Spear style with this new shirt from BreakingT

The vintage-inspired design is a charming ode to the Tigers’ home run tradition.

We love a good baseball tee, and more than that, we love a good tee that celebrates fun traditions. The fine folks at BreakingT have designed a new vintage-inspired tee that is an ode to the Tigers’ 2024 home run tradition: the pizza spear.

The pizza spear (which, in the true tradition of baseball, has its own sponsor, which is naturally Little Cesar’s), is a spear with three foam pizzas affixed to...

Discipline is the basis for a major breakout for Riley Greene this season

Photo by Duane Burleson/Getty Images

Greene is focused on driving the ball in the air and being more selective in what he swings at.

Don’t look now, but Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is healthy and on the cusp of a major breakout in the early going. The 23-year-old outfielder seems to be regarded as almost an afterthought around the league, but there’s a good chance they haven’t seen anything yet.

As a 21-year-old, Greene held his own better than fellow top pick Spencer...

It was a tight tilt tonight at the Trop, but a pair of late homers put the Detroiters over the top.

After an easy series-opening win on Monday night in St. Petersburg, this one had a little bit more drama: an early slim lead vanished, but a pair of late-inning home runs helped your Detroit Tigers come back to win 4-2 and ensure a series win.
