Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers continue to spiral, suffering a painful 3-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, which extends their miserable stretch to just one win in the last seven games. With a run differential of -13 in that span, the absence of Riley Greene looms large, as the team’s offense remains stagnant, averaging a mere 2.6 runs per game. Meanwhile, Tarik Skubal's return to Comerica Park is bittersweet, he arrives after an impressive 11-strikeout outing, but he will don a different jersey than the one that helped him develop into a promising pitcher. To add to the drama, the Reds have put Eugenio Suárez on waivers, presenting a tantalizing opportunity for the Tigers to revisit a past mistake. It's a chaotic time in Detroit, where every game feels like a step closer to rock bottom.

Unfortunately, they were stymied by some return-to-form pitching and just enough offence from the best team in the American League as they lost 3-0. Also, it’s really, really tough […]

ATLANTA -- When Tarik Skubal takes the mound on Friday night at Comerica Park, it will mark his 155th career Major League start. But for the 29-year-old left-hander, this one will feel fundamentally different than the first 154. For the first time in his professional career, Skubal will be Detroit's
