A pitcher whose cup of coffee with the Detroit Tigers in 1972 punctuated a decorated minor league career has died at age 77.

Top Detroit Tigers prospect Kevin McGonigle is hitting .275 with seven home runs, 18 walks and 14 strikeouts across 29 games in Double-A Erie.

The Detroit Tigers have a pitcher who has been thriving over the last few seasons. Tarik Skubal has emerged as one of the best pitchers in the game. But the discussion has changed, as some believe he is the best pitcher in MLB. The Tigers' ace has been dominant. Moreover, the Tigers' pitcher has been hard for every hitter to figure out.

Every playoff contender informed MLB insider Jim Bowden of their most underrated player, and this former Yankees infielder was selected for the Detroit Tigers.

The once-slipping Detroit Tigers extended their American League Central lead to 10 games after sweeping the Astros in three games at Comerica Park.

Bobby Witt Jr. logged an RBI single and Salvador Perez added a two-run double. Both hits came in the third inning. The Royals didn't score again until the ninth; Vinnie Pasquantino homered in his fifth consecutive game in the loss.

When Detroit Tigers infielder Andy Ibáñez made a throwing error to put two runners in scoring position during a recent start, Morton was the first to wash away the gaffe, pick up Ibáñez and get out of the inning unscathed with back-to-back strikeouts.

Right-handed reliever Tommy Kahnle — an 11-year MLB veteran whom the Tigers signed to a one-year, $7.75 million contract in January — is a microcosm of the struggles. The 36-year-old registered a dominant 1.
