Here's everything Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday, July 25 — before and after a 6-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park.

The Detroit Tigers have had a historic season so far, but they would love to soon forget the history they just made in Pittsburgh. The Pirates’ roster is built to record a stat like this. No team has hit Paul Skenes and being victim to Oneil Cruz’s insane athleticism can happen any night.

Detroit — It didn’t take much for the vibes to sour on Friday night at Comerica Park, as the Tigers began to crumble in the fourth inning, fell apart in the fifth and, for the 11th time in 12 games, lost another game.

In 2025, Detroit Tigers reliever Luke Jackson has posted a 4.11 ERA with 19 walks and 24 strikeouts across 35 innings in 39 games for the Texas Rangers.

The Tigers led the AL Central by seven games on Sept. 6, 2009, and proceeded to finish the year 11-15 while the Twins won 18 of 26. That forced a Game 163, where the Tigers appropriately blew a 10th-inning lead to ultimately lose in 12.

On Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners acquired Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, likely taking them out of the Eugenio Suarez sweepstakes. Multiple teams, including the Tigers, could emerge as serious suitors for Suarez before the 2025 MLB trade deadline.

The Detroit Tigers signed starter Alex Cobb — a 37-year-old who has pitched in 13 MLB season — to a one-year, $15 million contract in December 2024.
