May 25, 2011 They managed to get in a couple of innings in the game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Detroit Tigers this afternoon. Then the rains came. The rain is still falling, so the two teams will play a make-up game on Monday, June 13th at 7:05 pm at Comerica Park
May 24, 2011 Justin Verlander didn't have his "A" game tonight. The Tiger ace
gave up six runs in six innings and left the game trailing 6-5. His teammates bailed him out this time as Alex Avila hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 8th to give the Tigers a 7-6 victory.
May 23, 2011 The Tigers won for the second day in a row, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 6-3. Two Tigers who were in Toledo a couple of weeks ago made big contributions in the victory. Andy Dirks hit his first Major League home run in the 5th inning to tie the game up at 1-1.
May 22, 2011 The Tiger hitters continued to be underachievers, scoring only two runs in today's game with Pittsburgh. Rick Porcello made that work for a win as he pitched 8 innings of 1-hit shutout ball. Since this was an interleague game, pitchers get to hit in the National League parks and Porcello got his third career Major League hit as he beat out an infield single.
May 22, 2011 Max Scherzer wasn't exactly horrible, but he did suffer his first loss of the season as Pittsburgh beat Detroit 6-2. The main problem is that the Tiger bats remained silent for eight of the nine innings in last night's loss, which is the team's 5th in a row.
May 20, 2011 Brad Penny kept his team in the game for a few innings, but his control wasn't good tonight and he walked six batters, many of whom scored. It didn't really matter, as the Tigers could only cross the plate one time in a 10-1 thrashing by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
May 19, 2011 Justin Verlander pitched well enough to win. As usual, his team didn't give him much in the way of help. Verlander pitched eight innings, striking out nine batters and giving up three runs. The Tigers tied the game up in the eighth inning on back-to-back homers from Brennan Boesch and Miguel Cabrera, but couldn't deliver in the clutch when they had a great opportunity.
May 18, 2011 The Tigers had their chances. Phil Coke pitched his best game as a Tiger starter, throwing 7 shutout innings. The bullpen and the bats let him down
May 18, 2011 The second game between the Tigers and Blue Jays was rained out last night and will be made up on Monday, June 27th at Comerica park in Detroit. It's the second rainout in the last three games for the Tigers, who also had a game with the Royals washed out
May 16, 2011 It felt like April in the "D". Early April, when the temperatures were closer to 40 than 70, and the Tiger bats had yet to thaw. The Tigers managed to score a run in the first and Max Scherzer made that hold up through 7 innings before leaving with the game tied at 1-1, but then Joaquin Benoit came in to pitch in the 8th
May 16, 2011 The final game of the 3-game series between the Tigers and Kansas City Royals was rained out yesterday at Comerica Park in Detroit after the Tigers won the first two. That game has been re-scheduled for September 1st. Tonight, the Tigers will try to extend the win string to eight against the Toronto Blue Jays.
May 13, 2011 Justin Verlander flirted with history for six and 2/3rds innings. After throwing a no-hitter last Saturday in Toronto, Verlander held the Kansas City Royals hitless until deep into the sixth inning.
