Jair Jurrjens is on the move again. He did not live up to the organization's expectations, and with this being a contract year, the Tigers decided to part ways with the young right-hander.

Jurrjens was decent in this second stint as a Tiger, but he required lots of run support and a deep bullpen to preserve his undefeated record.

Shields is safe for the short term; he has one remaining year on his contract following this season. It wouldn't surprise me if this trade benefited both teams. The Rays also acquired the struggling catching prospect, Robert Stewart.

James Shields' Tigers debut is this Saturday, at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He is 4th in the rotation.

Pistons fans can thank God for this victory tonight. Down 90-87, Jason Richardson was at the free throw line for Philly trying to ice the game. The first one was short; the second one bounced around and out, only to be rebounded by Kyle Singler.

With 1.3 seconds remaining, Singler took one step forward and launched the ball one-handedly over his right shoulder. Though this ball traveled nearly the entire length of the court, it got all net, and it sent the Pistons to overtime.

A new-found resolve gave the Pistons the strength to carry on through overtime. They won 103-96.

Games 53-55 vs. CLE

W: 2-1
Both the Tigers and Indians exchanged 1st inning runs. Ike Davis' home run in the 4th proved to be the difference. Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in the 9th for the save.

W: 5-4
The Tigers broke out in the 6th with a Mark Trumbo two RBI double and a JJ Hardy RBI single. The Indians rallied for two in the 7th, thanks to Ezequiel Carrerra (all 4 RBI), but they were stymied by Craig Kimbrel in the 9th.

W: 4-3
Josh Donald delivered what seemed to be the final blow in such a close game, with his solo homer in the 8th. However, the Tigers scored two runs on three doubles to walk off as winners.

The lefty curse continues, as Cole Hamels marks the 5th elite left-handed starter to leave the Tigers with less than one season under their belt. Hamels follows Gio Gonzalez, Ricky Romero, Jon Lester and CC Sabathia on this long, yet prestigious list.

This time, the new Tiger is Matt Cain, slightly more expensive than Hamels. However, he is a year younger (and also not a lefty...). Cain will assume the second spot in the rotation behind Justin Verlander. In addition to that, Cain will seek to rectify his 4.27 ERA.

Games 49-52 vs. OAK

W: 11-1
Though nowhere near the most runs scored in a game this season, Detroit had one of its best offensive games yet. Tom Milone was gone after only 3 2/3 IP. Ryan Braun went 2-3 with 2BB, 3B, HR, 4 R, 5 RBI.

W: 16-0
Doug Fister threw a complete game one-hit shutout of the As, striking out 10. Every Tiger had at least one hit and at least one run scored. Brett Lawrie homered and hit two doubles. JJ Hardy homered twice.

W: 5-1
Nursing a sore calf, Ryan Braun was not in the lineup. The Tigers got ahold of Brett Anderson early, scoring all five runs in the 2nd. JJ Hardy hit a three-run home run and Adam Jones hit a two-run home run to cap off the inning. Justin Verlander pitched a complete game, despite giving up the solo home run to Michael Taylor.

W: 4-2
The A's struck first in another weak Cole Hamels start, but the Tigers took the lead for good in the 5th with help from David Freese and JJ Hardy who doubled. Ryan Braun sat out yet another game. He will return late in this week.

As expected, the Tigers have named a new hitting coach, pitching coach, and scout.

Don Baylor, Andrew Dutra, and Clint Ransom, respectively, will join the team in these roles (effective immediately).

The Tigers fired their A-affiliate manager and replaced him with former San Diego Padres manager Bud Black.

Black was fired after a slow start to what is now the 2013 season. In a division where it is becoming increasingly harder to get ahead, the Padres decided that Bud Black would not be of help in that endeavor.

Despite his desire to return to the Major League circuit as soon as possible, Black accepted the three year deal with the Class A Lakeland Flying Tigers. The organization hopes that a higher quality staff will eventually turn into an acceleration of potential for our prospects.

Black will inherit a sub-.500 team that is in striking distance of the co-division leaders.

In other news, the organization hopes to upgrade at hitting coach, pitching coach, and training. They expect to fill those positions by hiring those on the rebound, like Bud Black.

Games 47 and 48 @ SEA

W: 5-3
The Tigers get most of the scoring done early, thanks to back-to-back homers from Brett Lawrie and Miguel Cabrera in a new, shuffled lineup. Casper Wells homered against his former team. However, Detroit's late insurance run came as a result of Wellington Castillo's RBI double in the top of the 9th. Craig Kimbrel saved the game.

W: 8-3
Mike Carp homered twice, but many of the Tigers responded with offense themselves. Ike Davis went 4-5, driving in three, only lacking the triple for the cycle. Miguel Cabrera homered yet again; he leads the majors in RBI. Brian McCann chipped in with 2 RBI as well; he's had a quiet stint with the Tigers so far.

The bullpen was solid again pitching three innings of relief behind Johnny Cueto. Collectively, they only allowed four hits and struck out six.
