September 25, 2011 The Tigers got out the whoopin' sticks today and rode the longball to victory over Baltimore. Miguel Cabrera started the homer party with a 2-run shot in the first. Victor Martinez put the Tigers back in front with a 3-run blast in the 5th. Don Kelly also hit a 3-run homer in the 6th to put the Tigers ahead at the time 9-3.
September 23, 2011 When Miguel Cabrera blasted a long two-run homer in the first inning, it looked like it was going to be a good night for the Tigers. As it turned out, it was. It just took a bit longer than usual for the Tigers to get win #91 and keep pace with the Texas Rangers for a chance at home field advantage in the Divisional Playoffs.
September 22, 2011 The Tigers top pitching prospect, Jacob Turner still has much to learn about pitching in the big leagues. Turner made his 3rd M.L. start tonight and was hit hard and often. He left the game with no outs in the 4th and the Tigers trailing 5-0. He would not get saddled with the loss despite the rocky start. Al Alburquerque got the side out in the 4th, and the Tigers would tie the game at 5-5 in the 5th on Delmon Young's 3-run homer.
August 14, 2011 The Tigers have a scheduled day off on Thursday. For the first 8 innings today, it looked like they were taking today's game off. They couldn't hit when it counted, couldn't play defense (Raburn should donate his glove to someone who might learn how to use it), and didn't pitch very well. The Orioles, who own the worst record in baseball pounded Tiger starter Doug Fister for 8 runs. Finally, in the 9th inning, the Tigers showed some signs of life.
August 13, 2011 The last 8 wins for the Tigers have been of the 1-run variety. This one didn't start out very well for Max Scherzer and his Detroit teammates. Baltimore scored 5 runs in the second inning on a pair of home runs. Scherzer settled down after that and dominated the Orioles, racking up 10 strikeouts in 7 innings. The Tiger offense would respond with a single run in the 4th and then came up with a big two-out rally in the sixth.
August 12, 2011 The Tiger bats finally came to life, pounding out 15 hits tonight against Baltimore pitching. For some reason, the Tigers couldn't get many clutch hits and held on for dear life to win tonight's game 5-4. In addition to the 15 hits, the Tigers worked Oriole pitchers for 4 walks for a total of 19 baserunners.
April 8, 2011 The Tigers had the lead until the 7th inning last night. Too bad baseball games are nine innings. Baltimore came up with 5 runs in the 7th and beat the Tigers 9-5 continuing Detroit's road woes. The good news? Our home opener is today at Comerica Park.
April 6, 2011 The Detroit Tigers got their second win of the 2011 season tonight, beating the previously unbeaten Baltimore Orioles 7-3 behind the stellar pitching of Justin Verlander and the slugging of catcher Alex Avila
April 4, 2011 It was 78 degrees in Baltimore, but the Tiger hitters left their lumber in the icebox against the Orioles.
April 4, 2011 It wasn't pretty by any means. It was a win and hopefully the first of many for the Detroit Tigers.
