Tigers Beat White Sox With Pitching
Posted on 6 May 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
After Saturday's heartbreaker of a loss to the Chicago White Sox the Tigers needed to bounce back quickly. They did exactly that behind a solid pitching performance from Rick Porcello (3-2), and three solo home runs. The White Sox half of the first inning seemed to pick up where they left off yesterday when Adam Dunn hit another home run to right field. It was his ninth home run of the season,...

Posted on 4 May 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
Jhonny Peralta picked a great time to hit his first home run of the season. The Tigers shortstop fouled off three pitches from Chicago White Sox reliever Matt Thornton (1-1) before belting a game-winning two-run home run to right field. Most of the game was dominated by the pitching of starters Drew Smyly for the Tigers, and Jake Peavy for the White Sox. Smyly threw 99 pitches surrendering onl...

Tigers Win Nightcap
Posted on 21 Apr 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
It was not the prettiest of wins, but the Tigers will take it. After losing a combined 20-7 in the first two games of the series the Tigers scratched their way to a 3-2 victory Saturday night. Starter Justin Verlander (2-1) threw 115 pitches over just six innings of work, but only allowed one run and four hits. After five innings, and 101 pitches it appeared that Verlander's night was over, bu...

Tigers Re-Acquire Zach Miner From Royals For Cash
Posted on 20 Apr 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
The Tigers will be welcoming back an old friend this weekend. In exchange for cash considerations the Kansas City Royals have traded pitcher Zach Miner to the Tigers. The move on the surface appears to have more to do with pitching issues in the farm system, and less to do with the Tigers relief pitching woes. Miner will report to Double-A Erie this weekend. The Sea Wolves have used 15 pitcher...

Darvish Too Much For Tigers
Posted on 19 Apr 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
The Texas Rangers picked up where they left off last October with an absolute drubbing of the Tigers 10-3 tonight at Comerica Park. The Rangers had 19 hits and 6 walks with every Ranger batter getting at least one hit. Japanese import Yu Darvish stifled the Tigers bats for 6 1/3 innings allowing just two hits and one earned run. It was his longest outing of the season, and his best. Darvish th...

Gerald Laird (Yes, Gerald Laird) Helps Tigers Avoid Sweep
Posted on 16 Apr 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
When the Tigers re-signed Gerald Laird in the off-season it was to be the back-up to Alex Avila. Laird would spell Avila once a week, usually against left-handed pitching. He was not supposed to be the offensive spark ending losing streaks. On Sunday afternoon, Laird erupted at the plate, going 3-4 with a home run and double while helping the Tigers, and Rick Porcello beat the Chicago White So...

Sizemore Traded to Oakland
Posted on 29 May 2011 by Jeremy Klumpp.
This week the Tigers made a surprising move trading second baseman Scott Sizemore to the Oakland A’s for relief pitcher David Purcey. The deal comes less than a month after Sizemore was recalled from Toledo to replace Will Rhymes. Tigers management felt that Sizemore had his chances to earn the starting job at second, but never fully developed into the player they hoped he would. With Sizemor...

Dirks Could Mean Changing of Guard for Detroit
Posted on 21 May 2011 by Jeremy Klumpp.
The Sunday afternoon game between the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals was supposed to be the major league debut for outfielder Andy Dirks. Mother Nature had other ideas and the game was called due to rain. Dirks would have to wait one more day for his time to begin in the big leagues. In his major league debut on Monday night against the Toronto Blue Jays, Dirks went 1-2 with a walk. With...
