Max Clark, the No. 7 overall prospect in baseball, continues to excel for the High-A West Michigan Whitecaps, hitting a big-time grand slam on Thursday night. The 20-year-old was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 draft out of the Indiana high school ranks.

ST. LOUIS – The Detroit Tigers hadn’t lost a series opener since Houston back in late April. They were 13-2 coming into their three-game series with the Cardinals. Now they’re 13-3, mostly thanks to Sonny Gray, who apparently likes to pitch against the Tigers, and stifled them as St. Louis won 11-4.

Detroit will travel home to host the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday, May 22, 2025. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. With the victory, the Tigers improved to 33-17 while putting the league on notice. For the first time since 2006, the 2025 ball club has the best record in the show through 50 games.

One reason why the Tigers are off to such a good start is that the offense has improved tremendously. Detroit was a great defensive team all of last season, but if often struggled to score runs. That hasn't been the case this season, but with a lineup dominated by lefties, it might be smart for the Tigers to acquire another right-handed bat.

Cleveland's relentless pressure created a four-run outburst that sealed a dominant shutout win against the Tigers.
