The Tigers splashed past the Cleveland Indians 11-7 on Wednesday night to complete a two-game sweep of the first-place Tribe. They waited out delays of one hour and 50 minutes to win it.
"(Verlander) hugged me for 10 minutes," manager Jim Leyland said about the decision to break his own rule of no pitcher staying in the game after a delay of more than an hour. This delay was an hour and two minutes.
With Alex Avila hitting .174, is this the beginning of a switch to Brayan Pena as the regular Tigers catcher? "I don’t want to indicate that Alex isn’t our catcher," manager Jim Leyland said. “He is our catcher."
Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter has decided to give more than he originally planned to the Oklahoma tornado relief fund. At first, it was going to be $1,000 per home run.
Miguel Cabrera, who homered again in the Tigers’ 5-1 victory over the Indians on Tuesday night, now has 195 round-trippers with Detroit, good for a 10th-place tie among the franchise’s career leaders.
When Justin Verlander struggled in unprecedented ways during his last start — namely, that seven-run third inning in Texas — he said he intended to fix the problem by getting back to basics. His first start since then is here, in Cleveland.
To honor U.S. veterans on Memorial Day, the Tigers will wear camouflage hats, and jerseys with camouflage numbers and the Old English "D" on Monday when they host the Pirates at Comerica Park.
Perfection, thy name is Miguel Cabrera’s swing. However, from the last out of the first inning to the final out of the eighth in the Tigers' 5-1 victory on Tuesday night over the Cleveland Indians, perfection could be found in the way Max Scherzer pitched.
If he doesn’t pull out of this spiral, and in a hurry, the Tigers will be left with no practical choice but to return Avila, 26, to Triple A Toledo for a head-clearing stint that might put him back on track.

A lot of fans were probably aghast when the Tigers made the decision to sign Jose Valverde to a speculative contract earlier this year. A deeper look at the early returns shows there may be storm clouds on the horizon.
Their last starts were not their best, especially Verlander’s. Pitchers can stub a toe, of course, but it’s unusual for so many of the Tigers’ starters to stub one at the same time.
Despite three home runs by the Tigers slugger — his ninth, 10th and 11th of the season — the Tigers lost 11-8 on Sunday night. Cabrera connected in the third, the fifth and the eighth inning — the second time in his career he’s hit three home runs in a game.
