May 11, 2011 The Tiger win streak is now at five games. Detroit took both games in this short series in Minnesota, hanging on to win today's contest 9-7. This one was back and forth for most of the game
May 11, 2011 The Tigers have had their troubles winning in Minnesota in recent history. They jumped on Twins pitcher Francisco Liriano early for 4 runs, then never let up for a 10-2 victory. Rick Porcello pitched 5 innings for his 3rd win which was interrupted by a 64 minute rain delay.
May 9, 2011 The Tigers took 3 out of 4 in Toronto after losing the opening game of this series on Friday night. This one wasn't pretty, but a win is a win and the Tigers came out on top of Toronto tonight 10-5.
May 8, 2011 Austin Jackson had another 3-hit day today. Yesterday, he had three more hits than the entire Blue Jay team, but it went unnoticed as Justin Verlander pitched a no-hitter. Today, Jackson's hits were hard to ignore. Especially his two-run homer to give Detroit the lead 4-2 in the 7th inning.
May 7, 2011 Justin Verlander had all of his pitches working today. The Tigers scored runs early and often, and the defense made some plays to help him to his second career no-hitter, just the 7th in Tiger history. It was almost a perfect game
May 6, 2011 The Tigers had a good thing going when they beat the Yankees 3 straight times to wrap up a home stand at Comerica Park. Winning on the road has been a problem in recent history for this team
May 5, 2011 The Tigers were trailing most of the way in this one against New York's A.J. Burnett. Detroit didn't even have a hit until the 6th inning.
May 4, 2011 Max Scherzer pitched 8 shutout innings and got some offensive help from Magglio Ordonez as the Tigers blanked the Yankees 4-0. The win is the second straight for the Tigers, after suffering through a 7 game losing streak.
May 3, 2011 Some of the players responsible for prolonging the Tiger 7-game losing streak finally helped to end it. Austin Jackson, Magglio Ordonez and Jose Valverde all made contributions in the 4-2 Tiger win over New York tonight at Comerica Park.
May 2, 2011 Justin Verlander didn't have his best command. But he pitched a gutsy 6 innings and only allowed 3 runs to the Yankees while striking out 8. He was still throwing 99 and 100 mph, 130 pitches into the game.
May 1, 2011 Tiger manager Jim Leyland said after today's 5-4 loss to Cleveland, "We're just not doing enough things to win." No kidding. The Tigers had a 2-0 lead in the early going and gave it back an inning later. They took a 3-2 lead in the top of the 8th before
May 1, 2011 This was a close game. A pitcher's duel. It took 13 innings, but the outcome was still a bitter one for Tiger fans as Cleveland wins in walkoff fashion again, this time 3-2.
