DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers certainly didn’t expect last December that they’d reach late August and free-agent signing Alex Cobb would yet to throw a pitch in the major leagues.

Cobb pitched three innings out of the bullpen for Triple-A Toledo at Rochester Tuesday night. He entered the game after starter Sawyer Gipson-Long and pitched scoreless and hitless innings in the sixth, seventh and eighth. He threw 36 pitches, 26 strikes and struck out the side in the seventh.

Gleyber Torres drew a 10th-inning walk to send home Wenceel Pérez and give the Detroit Tigers a 1-0 win over Houston on Tuesday night, the Astros third consecutive shutout loss. Pérez started the 10th as the automatic runner on second base and took third on Andy Ibáñez's fly to deep right.

On pace for their best win total in nearly 15 years, the Tigers’ revival has led to fans flocking to Comerica Park again to watch Detroit baseball. The Tigers (74-53) officially announced on Monday that the team surpassed their entire 2024 home attendance figure of 1,858,295 fans after getting through 64 home dates so far in 2025.

Detroit is in a good spot for a first-round bye, but there are still too many teams within shouting distance to fully relax. In the National League, the Brewers are a full five games ahead of the Tigers, while the Phillies, Cubs, and Dodgers are all within two games of Detroit.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty looked different against the Astros in his best start of the 2025 season, throwing seven scoreless innings.

The Detroit Tigers' special season continued on Tuesday night as they walked off the Houston Astros in the bottom of the 10th inning. It was the team's fourth shutout victory in their last seven games and preserved the best record in the American League.

Comerica Park celebrates its 25th anniversary with new additions to the Detroit Tigers' game day experience, including Zach Linfield as the new PA announcer. Linfield, a Michigan native and lifelong Tigers fan,
