PHOENIX -- This was the form that Casey Mize had been searching for all Spring Training. This was the frenetic Tigers offense that had erupted early on Opening Day in San Diego. This was the type of late lead the Tigers had built their bullpen to protect.

PHOENIX – What happens when a Major League team on a season-opening road trip shares a hotel with the NFL owners’ meetings? Two of Detroit’s most prominent sports figures finally get a chance to meet over coffee.

SAN DIEGO -- Kevin McGonigle should’ve been a nervous wreck Thursday morning. He’d been up late waiting for his parents to land from Philadelphia, flying cross country to see their son make his MLB debut. Like a kid on Christmas Eve, he had too much energy to sleep. As much

SAN DIEGO – How historic was Kevin McGonigle’s 4-for-5, two-double, two-RBI performance in his Major League debut? Only one Tiger in the franchise’s previous 125 seasons had posted a four-hit game in his first big league game. That was Billy Bean, who went 4-for-6 with two runs scored and an

SAN DIEGO – Rarely does a Major League manager get to tell a player he’s getting called up to the big leagues for his MLB debut. Usually, that falls upon a Minor League manager or player development director, because the player is being called up from an affiliate in the
