'He's hit his way here': Malgeri's unlikely rise leads to Tigers debut.

Yankees even series, Malgeri gets two hits in debut.
A slim lead couldn’t hold up and the Tigers’ bats couldn’t answer with quite enough.

Yankees snap Tigers' four-game win streak: 'It's hard to be happy'.
It's hard to take solace in anything short of a win these days, given the deep hole the Tigers are trying to fight their way out of.
"Right now I'm pretty pissed off about it," said Casey Mize, who despite pitching another strong game found himself on the wrong end of a 4-3 loss to the East Division-leading New York Yankees at Comerica Park Tuesday night. "We have to win games. I always play that way. I always play for the box score and it's good for everyone to realize the box score does matter.

Detroit Tigers fall to Yankees in close game, ending winning streak.
It was a bad ending to a terrific start.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize generated an abundance of whiffs with his high-velocity fastball and wicked splitter in one of his best starts of an outstanding 2026 season, exemplified by a 2.95 ERA in 11 starts.
What went wrong?
The 29-year-old surrendered three runs during a sixth inning that ended early for him in the Tigers' 4-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday, June 23 – the second of three games in the series at Comerica Park – snapping the Tigers' four-game winning streak.

Are the Detroit Tigers pinch-hit happy?
There have been several games lately where the Detroit Tigers made some curious pinch-hit moves involving using Jahmai Jones as a substitute at the plate for Kerry Carpenter when facing left-handed pitching.
In general, righties do better against southpaws. And vice versa. But in Carpenter’s (LHH) case, he hits .182 against them while Jahmai Jones (RHH) hits .170. Last year, he was much better facing lefties.
If you look at the slash line, Carp’s numbers are close to double that of Jones’. He’s got one of the best slash lines on the team including an OPS of .779. Jones’ OPS is .460 which grades out as very poor.
A case in point is a game over the weekend when the Tigers did not have a runner until the 4th inning. The bases became loaded – all due to walks – and the opponents brought in a lefty. With 2 outs and the bases loaded, A. J. Hinch swapped out Carpenter for Jones who had a 1-for-22 record.
Unsurprisingly, he struck out and the Tigers didn’t score. It was a wasted opportunity.
Most MLB teams practice the lefty-righty approach in pinch hitting. But considering how poorly the Tigers are faring in this skill, how should they approach this strategy going forward?
Which option is the best one for them to use going forward?

What should the Tigers' pinch-hitting strategy be for the rest of the year?

1. Continue to use the standard lefty-righty match up.

2. Go with the player who has the best hitting stats.

3. Only pinch hit late in the game.

She purposely worded it "are the Tigers pinch-hit happy". She LOVES AJ. It should read, does AJ pinch hit too much? The answer is 100% yes.
