Top Story
Sweep Within Reach as Tigers Face Rockies Series Finale
First pitch is 12:10 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at Comerica Park in Detroit. The early start is unusual for a Tigers home game and lines up with the Detroit Lions' season opener in the same city that afternoon. Colorado counters with right-hander Gabriel Hughes, who is 0-7 with a 5.81 ERA. The Rockies are 55-93 and losers of six straight, making them vulnerable as Detroit looks to finish strong.
Around the Club
Prospects — Right-hander River Ryan made his first start for Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Sept. 9, after he was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Tarik Skubal trade in early August. Ryan pitched two scoreless innings for the Mud Hens, allowing two hits. It appeared that Ryan could be trending toward an appearance with the Tigers at some point this season, but with the Tigers now out of playoff contention, it remains to be seen if he will pitch for Detroit in 2026.
Schedule — The Tigers defeated the Minnesota Twins 7-2 in a recent matchup, with Hao-Yu Lee going 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored.
Quick Hits
- The Tigers are 37-36 at home heading into today's game.
- Kevin McGonigle has been graduated as a prospect, but Max Clark looks to be a prospect that can impact the game in several ways, and Bryce Rainer and Josue Briceño are exciting bats.
- Tyler Holton tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Twins.
