The Detroit Tigers have been a massive success story this season, riding the high from their surprise run last year to World Series contention this year.

Led by a standout day and overall series from star shortstop Elly De La Cruz — going 7-of-14, three home runs, six RBI and seven runs — the Reds not only brought offensive flair, but took advantage of a flurry of mistakes from the Tigers.

Elly De La Cruz homered, scored three times and drove in three runs as the Cincinnati Reds rallied to beat the Detroit Tigers 8-4.

The Detroit Tigers have been able to power their way firmly to the top of the standings with a balance of strong pitching, hitting, and elite baserunning.

It's been a tremendous start to 2025 for the AL-leading Detroit Tigers. Here's how to watch the rest of their regular season.

The Detroit Tigers optioned Beau Brieske to Triple-A Toledo, less than 24 hours after the reliever allowed five runs in a 10-1 loss to the Orioles.

One can fairly ask if Max Clark’s inevitable move to Double A Erie has been softened or delayed by a relatively tepid past month at high-A West Michigan.
