Detroit Tigers Recaps
Blue Jays 12, Tigers 2: Beat up and beat down blues
One big inning from the Blue Jays was all it took to take the first of three in Detroit.
Tigers 9, Athletics 0: We needed that
The Tigers avoided a sweep at the hands of a pretty lousy team.
Tigers 14, Rockies 9: A good old-fashioned mile-high slugfest
Detroit clubbed two grand slams and set a season-high for home runs and runs scored.
Tigers 4, Rockies 2 (F/10): Extra innings power from Zach McKinstry carries Detroit
The bullpen day went well, including Zach Logue’s debut, but it took a long time for the offense to break loose.
Rockies 8, Tigers 5: Detroit can’t catch up in Colorado
The Tigers were fighting back, but the bullpen gave up a three-run dagger to ruin it
Rangers 10, Tigers 2: Someone should have thrown in the towel
Joey Wentz got absolutely mauled by the American League’s best offense, and the Tigers phoned it in at the plate.
Tigers 7, Rangers 2: Cats persevere despite more injury woes
Matt Boyd and Will Vest got injured, Spencer Torkelson and Javier Báez did jack squat, and so the Tigers won anyway. Baseball.
Twins 6, Tigers 3 (F/10): Quiet bats and defensive mistakes cost the series
The offense had another feeble day at the dish, and a crucial error late allowed the Twins to seize control and win the series.
Twins 4, Tigers 1: Rough second inning dooms Detroit, Wentz
Fun fact: Minnesota had more ejections than Detroit had runs tonight!
Tigers 9, Royals 4: The bats break loose
Matt Boyd threw a solid game, and Zack Short, Javier Báez, and Eric Haase led the way offensively.
Tigers 6, Royals 4: Carpenter’s blast sparks late rally
A five run seventh inning gives Tigers a comeback win after being shutdown most of the night.
Tigers 6, Twins 4: Jason Foley to the rescue
What looked like a comfortable margin got unnervingly close as Alex Lange fell apart in the eighth.
Twins 2, Tigers 0: A good start squandered
Six strong innings from a surprising starter don’t count much when you can’t score a run.
Tigers 7, Twins 1: Báez, Vierling and the bullpen tame Twins
Javy Báez and Matt Vierling provided the power, and the bullpen mastered the Twins lineup without much issue.
Braves 6, Tigers 5 (Gm 2): Atlanta outslugs Detroit to sweep doubleheader
A slugfest broke out at Comerica Park, but the Braves are hard to beat that way, or any way.
Braves 10, Tigers 7 (Gm 1): Offense arrives early, but Braves better
Dingers flew from both teams, but the Tiger hurlers couldn’t keep Atlanta’s lineup down.

Yeah we didn’t expect the bullpen game to be the one the Tigers would break the losing streak on either.
Diamondbacks 7, Tigers 5: Bullpen blows lead to extend losing streak to nine games
The Tigers snatched defeat from the jaws of victory as they get swept in their third straight series.
Phillies 3, Tigers 2: Swept for the second series straight
The offense struggled badly again, and once they finally broke through their most dependable reliever blew the game anyway.
Phillies 1, Tigers 0: Brother, can you spare a run?
On the plus side, a bullpen day that could’ve gone terribly for the Tigers saw everybody pitch-in and do a decent job.
White Sox 2, Tigers 1 (F/10): A great Michael Lorenzen outing wasted
Dylan Cease was good, but the Tigers’ offense looks a lot weaker without Riley Greene.
White Sox 3, Tigers 0: Quiet bats squander Reese Olson’s fine major league debut
The rookie’s major league went very well, but the Tigers’ offense couldn’t get it done.

Texas 5, Detroit 0: A not-so-enjoyable holiday game
The Rangers spoiled our fun with a decisive victory.
White Sox 12, Tigers 3: Wentz battered, Englert bruised
The offense had some chances to break through, but the pitching staff couldn’t stop the White Sox all night.
Tigers 7, White Sox 2: Offense backs up Faedo’s career night
Who cares if he only has three pitches? Alex Faedo shoved against the White Sox Thursday night.
Tigers 6, Royals 4: That’s another series win
Riley Greene and Zack Short went deep, while Jonathan Schoop came up with his biggest knock in long time.
Royals 4, Tigers 1: Tigers threaten plenty, don’t score much
Detroit loaded the bases twice, and didn’t score either of those times. You don’t win too many games that way.

A tenth-innings bases loaded double from Báez bails out Tigers in KC after JBJ stole the show and nearly the win.
Nationals 6, Tigers 4: Candyman’s revenge
The Tigers had a ton of chances to take control of this game, but bad swings in key at-bats cost them dearly.

The Tigers got to Corbin early but couldn’t sustain the pressure as Faedo and the bullpen let the Nationals pull away late.
Tigers 8, Nationals 6: A no-no to oh no
That was too close for comfort, but the duo of Foley and Lange shut the door on a Nats comeback attempt.
