Detroit Tigers sweep game series with 4-3 win over San Francisco Giants
Justyn-Henry Malloy hit a go-ahead single in a four-run fifth inning to help the Detroit Tigers rally to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Wednesday. The American League-leading Tigers swept the three-game series and closed their homestand with a four-game winning streak. Detroit generated all of its offense in the fifth with Colt Keith's two-run double and Malloy's two-out, two-run single. Brenan Hanifee (3-2) allowed one hit and struck out one in one inning. Tommy Kahnle picked up his seventh save after stranding two runners that he inherited with no outs in the eighth inning and pitching a perfect ninth. Landen Roupp (3-4) allowed four runs — one earned — on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over four innings. The Giants chased Jackson Jobe with two outs in the fifth inning, leading 3-0, but couldn't take advantage of additional scoring opportunities. LaMonte Wade had an RBI double to right in the second inning and Heliot Ramos hit a two-run homer in the fifth to give the Giants a 3-0 lead. San Francisco, which left 10 runners on base, has scored four or fewer runs in 11 straight games for the first time since early in the 2024 season. San Francisco's Mike Yastrzemski hit an inning-ending groundout in the eighth against Kahnle. The Tigers were a baseball-best 67-33 from Aug. 11 of last season through their win Tuesday night in the second game of the series against San Francisco. After San Francisco and Detroit have a day off on Thursday, Giants LHP Kyle Harrison (0-1, 3.86) is expected to be on the mound at Miami on Friday night while Tigers RHP Casey Mize (6-1, 2.45) is scheduled to start at Kansas City.

Detroit Tigers lead in 2-1 victory over Texas Rangers
Tarik Skubal struck out a season-high 12 and carried a perfect game into the sixth inning as the Detroit Tigers extended their winning streak to five games with a 2-1 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday night. Skubal (4-2), whose strikeout total was one shy of his career high, limited Texas to one run on two hits in seven innings. Tommy Kahnle pitched the eighth and Will Vest got the last three outs for his fourth save. Dillon Dingler drove in Detroit's first run with a double in the second inning. Colt Keith had two hits, scored a run and drove in a fourth-inning run for the Tigers, who have won eight of their last nine games. Rangers starter Patrick Corbin (2-2) gave up two runs and three hits while walking four and striking out three in seven innings. Sam Haggerty, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock earlier in the day, drove Texas' run with a single in the sixth inning. The Rangers have lost 12 of their last 16 games. The Rangers had runners on first and second with one out after Haggerty's run-scoring single. Skubal responded by striking out Wyatt Langford and retiring Jonah Heim on a fielder's choice. Skubal has struck out 50 batters over the last 37 innings while issuing just one walk. His strikeout total on Friday was the ninth time in his career he's reached double digits. Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom (2-1, 2.61 ERA) will seek his third straight victory in the second game of the three-game series on Saturday, while Tigers RHP Jack Flaherty (1-4, 3.79 ERA) will look to snap a four-game losing streak.

Detroit Tigers' Tommy Kahnle reflects on 10 years of MLB service time: 'It's an honor'
As a rookie in 2014, Detroit Tigers reliever Tommy Kahnle never imagined he'd reach 10 years of MLB service time. The milestone is considered the holy grail for players, fully vesting them in the pension plan. For Kahnle, it started to feel within reach when he received his gold card — an lifetime pass granting free admittance to any MLB regular-season game — after hitting eight years of service time. Advertisement "You're like, 'Oh, wow, only two years left,'" Kahnle said. BEAT WRITER RETURNS: Five Tigers takeaways from watching as new dad on paternity leave Detroit Tigers pitcher Tommy Kahnle (43) runs onto the field for ninth inning against Kansas City Royals at Comerica Park in Detroit on Thursday, April 17, 2025. On May 6, Kahnle's career clock struck 10 years. "It's been a long time," Kahnle said. He added: "Did I ever think I'd get to this point? Probably not." Fittingly, the Tigers were scheduled to play the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field — the site of Kahnle's MLB debut on April 3, 2014, as a member of the Rockies — but the first game of the series was postponed due to rain. That didn't stop the celebration. Buy our book: The epic 125-season history of the Tigers! Advertisement "The rain made us not play, but it doesn't take the day away from Tommy," said Tigers manager A.J. Hinch. "We had a little celebration inside during our mini workout. It's a huge accomplishment to stand this test of time." "It's an honor," Kahnle said. The 35-year-old has pitched in 11 MLB seasons for five teams: Rockies (2014-15), Chicago White Sox (2016-17), New York Yankees (2017-20, 2023-24), Los Angeles Dodgers (2022) and Tigers (2025). Over 402 games — all as a reliever — he owns a 3.38 ERA with 176 walks and 464 strikeouts across 386⅓ innings. The Yankees selected Kahnle — a native of upstate New York — in the fifth round of the 2010 MLB Draft out of Lynn University, then the Rockies scooped him up in the 2013 Rule 5 Draft. Advertisement The high point of his career was competing in the 2024 World Series, whereas the low point was undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in 2020. "That's what I've been searching for these last five, six years," Kahnle said of the World Series, which the Yankees lost to the Dodgers. "You really hone in on trying to win and get it done. Last year sucked, but it was also pretty awesome to get there." [ MUST LISTEN: Make "Days of Roar" your go-to Detroit Tigers podcast, available anywhere you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify) ] There are plenty of miles on his arm, but Kahnle still shows up to the ballpark with a youthful energy. Advertisement "It's kept me going," he said. Fewer than 10% of all MLB players reach 10 years of service time. And Kahnle is one of them. "Definitely pride," he said. "It's hard to get to this point. The amount of guys I played with through the minors and the majors, and then I'm the one that somehow managed to wiggle all the way here, it is crazy to think about. It's a cool moment."

Tigers Should Aggressively Pursue $81 Million Closer Ahead of Expected Playoff Run
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Detroit Tigers are becoming one of the stories to watch this season after an electric start. Through their first 35 games, the Tigers are 22-13 and hold the best record in the American League. Their rotation has been strong from top to bottom, and the offense is contributing consistently. Tommy Kahnle has done well at the back end of the bullpen, but the Tigers could certainly use an addition to complement him and trade for Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals. ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - APRIL 16: Ryan Helsley #56 of the St. Louis Cardinals throws against the Houston Astros during the ninth inning at Busch Stadium on April 16, 2025 in St Louis, Missouri. ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - APRIL 16: Ryan Helsley #56 of the St. Louis Cardinals throws against the Houston Astros during the ninth inning at Busch Stadium on April 16, 2025 in St Louis, our Zach Pressnell reported Monday afternoon, former baseball general manager Jim Bowden believes the Cardinals should look to move on from Helsley well before the trade deadline at the end of July. The Tigers know high-leverage relievers will have be in high demand at the deadline, and it would likely take a considerable deal for the Cardinals to trade with them. However, that doesn't mean the Tigers should use that as an excuse to back down. Here is what a potential trade could look like: Detroit Tigers acquire: RHP Ryan Helsley St. Louis Cardinals acquire: RHP Troy Melton (Tigers No. 10 prospect) and LHP Paul Wilson (Tigers No. 19 prospect) Melton would be the headliner going back to St. Louis in this trade. The 24-year-old right hander has recorded a 2.55 ERA in his first six starts at Double-A Erie as a member of the Tigers organization. He's likely to reach Triple-A later in the season and a trade to the Cardinals could expedite that process. As for Wilson, he's more of a developmental project in his second season of professional baseball. The 20-year-old lefty signed with the Tigers right out of high school, so he will need to work through the minor leagues at his own pace as he continues to grow as an athlete.
