The Tigers right now are 25-13, which ties them with the defending-champion Los Angeles Dodgers for best record in Major League Baseball and puts them on pace for a franchise-reco

The Detroit Tigers have been one of the surprises of the MLB season, and now rank highly according to many expert's power rankings.

The Detroit Tigers are coming home from their longest road trip of the season just as they left: in first place. The Tigers (25-13) padded their division lead and their MLB-best run differential (+83) on a three-time-zone tour of the United States.

After a very successful road trip, the Detroit Tigers return home for the first time in almost two weeks to take on the Texas Rangers, beginning a three-game series on Friday night.

But the tired Tigers return to the Motor City after playing two in Colorado on Thursday. Tarik Skubal has lived up to his lofty expectations, allowing three runs in his past 30 innings. The Rangers’ Patrick Corbin went 33-70 for the Nats the past five years but is 2-1 this year. Play $50 on the Rangers.

Colt Keith homered among his two hits, Brewer Hicklen had his first two major league hits and the Detroit Tigers beat the Colorado Rockies 11-1 in Denver to sweep their doubleheader on Thursday.

Casey Mize struck out eight over six innings and got plenty of run support as the Tigers led 9-0 in a 10-2 victory.

Former Detroit Tigers World Series champion Don Lemon died Thursday at age 70, the Chet Lemon Foundation announced in an Instagram post.

Chet Lemon, a three-time All Star and World Series champion with the 1984 Detroit Tigers, has died at the age of 70.
