The Tigers had plenty of chances to win this one. But they didn't. Nelson Cruz hit a homer to tie it in the 7th at 3-3 off Max Scherzer then hit a walk-off grand slam to win it in the 11th off Ryan Perry. Final score: Rangers 7, Tigers 3. The Rangers now lead the American League Championship Series 2 games to none.

Rain interrupted Game 1 of the American League Championship Series between the Tigers and Texas Rangers. Game 2 was called off hours before it was scheduled to begin, and will be played tomorrow afternoon (weather permitting). The Rangers beat Detroit 3-2 in the first game which had nearly two hours worth of delays in the 5th inning. Max Scherzer will face the Rangers' Derek Holland in a game s

You had to stay up pretty late to see the end of this one. If you're a Tiger fan, you didn't like the final outcome as the Texas Rangers beat the Tigers in ALCS Game 1, 3-2. The Tigers and Rangers both have explosive offensive teams, but after Mother Nature caused both starting pitchers to exit this game early, the scoring came to a halt. Justin Verlander pitched just 4 innings and gave up all

This one was a nail-biter. The Tigers and Yankees in a winner-take-all deciding Game 5 of the American League Divisional Series. The Tigers got the lead early when Don Kelly and Delmon Young hit back-to-back solo homers in the first innning off Yankee rookie Ivan Nova. Doug Fister was under duress in most of the five innings he pitched for the Tigers, but left with Detroit leading 2-0. Read Mor

If you missed it the other day, the Detroit Free Press published masks for several Detroit Tigers players, as well as manager Jim Leyland. Just print the .pdf, follow the instructions, and transform yourself! It's perfect for watching game five tomorrow night, Halloween, or just impressing the boss. And guys, the Justin Verlander mask is sure to make you irresistible to the ladies!

The Tiger bats took the night off. Two of the balls that they hit hard were both caught by former Tiger centerfielder Curtis Granderson and both kept the Tigers from enjoying a big inning. Rick Porcello wasn't great, but kept his team in the game. In the 8th inning, the Yankee bats got it going and the Tiger bullpen fell apart. Phil Coke loaded the bases on three straight hits. He was replace

Justin Verlander is going to win the American League Cy Young award. He demonstrated tonight why he might also get the nod as A.L. MVP. Verlander fell behind early as the Yankees scored two runs right away in the first inning. He then got into his groove and put zeros on the scoreboard until his teammates could get him a lead. Verlander struck out 11 Yankee batters in 8 innings of work. The Y

Max Scherzer gave the Tigers the pitching lift that they needed on the front end of today's American Leauge Divisional Series game with the Yankees in New York. Scherzer was a little wild, but held the Bronx Bombers hitless through the first 5 innings. Miguel Cabrera reached out and poked an outside pitch over the ridiculously short right field fence at Yankee Stadium for a two-run homer in the

I really hate the rule that says that playoff games must be finished once they start. The Tigers could have used two more at-bats to potentially get back into tonight's game at Yankee Stadium. Instead, this game began in the bottom of the 2nd inning after last night's game was rained out. Doug Fister picked up where Justin Verlander left off last night, and kept the game close until the 6th inn

The Tigers and Yankees both sent their aces to the mound to start the American League Divisional Series, and both didn't get far before the rains came. Verlander pitched just one inning and gave up a run, while C.C. Sabbathia of the Yankees threw two innings and also surrendered one run. After the game went into rain delay, the stroms intensified and the game was called after more than an hour's

The Tigers needed to win tonight's game to have a chance at home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs. They also needed the Angels to beat the Rangers. They made good on the first part of the deal, even after falling behind 3-0 to the Indians. Rick Porcello pitched six decent innings tonight, giving up three runs on just five hits. The Tigers got one in the 4th, 2 more in the 6th

The Tigers have owned the Cleveland Indians in the second half of this season. That wouldn't change in tonight's game despite a 30 minute rain delay. Max Scherzer became the first 15-game winner for the Tigers not named Verlander since Kenny Rogers pitched for Detroit. Scherzer didn't have his best game, but his offense gave him enough backup to get the victory.
