After a dominant 2024 season, Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal has won the AL Cy Young award, Major League Baseball announced on Sunday evening. Skubal received all 30 first-place votes.

The left-handed pitcher led all American League pitchers in earned run average (2.39), wins (18) and strikeouts (228), considered the Triple Crown of pitching. Skubal started 31 games for the Tigers this past season, posting an 18-4 record while throwing 192.0 innings and posting a WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched). In his age-28 season, Skubal also earned his first All-Star appearance earlier this summer, being one of two Tigers invited to the Midsummer classic (Riley Greene).

Skubal led all Tigers in Fangraphs Wins Above Replacement (6.4), a key piece on a Detroit team that made an improbable run. On August 11, the Tigers were eight games under .500 (55-63) and had a 0.2 percent chance of making the playoffs on Fangraphs. From there, the Gritty Tigers got hot, winning 31 of their final 44 games to earn a Wild Card spot in the Playoffs.

Once in the postseason, Skubal and the 6-seed Tigers proceeded to sweep the 3-seed Houston Astros in the Wild Card round before falling to the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Divisional Series in five games. In his first postseason, Skubal pitched in three games, posting a 1-1 record while recording a 2.37 ERA, allowing 13 hits and five runs and striking out 20 batters.

Skubal is the third Tigers player to win the award this century, joining Justin Verlander (2011) and Max Scherzer (2013). He's the fifth player to win the award in franchise history, along with Willie Hernndez (1984) and Denny McLain (1968 & 1969)

Hailing from Seattle University, Skubal was drafted by the Tigers in the ninth round of the 2018 MLB June Amateur Draft. Skubal made his Major League debut in the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season. In five seasons, Skubal has posted a 41-31 record, a 3.37 ERA, and 648 strikeouts in 571.1 innings pitched.

Skubal is set to make $11,200,000 in 2025, and barring a new contract with the Tigers, he's set to become a free agent in 2027 when he turns 30.

All non-national Detroit Tigers games for the 2025 season will be broadcast on Fanduel Sports Network Detroit, the team and Diamond Sports Group announced.

This is part of a new linear and digital rights agreement, where Diamond will continue to be the exclusive local broadcast partner for the Detroit Tigers.

Last month, Diamond Sports Group, which owns the regional sports network, said it will drop several MLB teams who have contracts for the 2025 season, including the Tigers. This meant that the Tigers were technically without a broadcast partner for a little over six weeks.

In other words, everything will function as it did last season: pre-game coverage, in-game broadcasts and post-game coverage will be carried on Fanduel Sports Network, previously known as Bally Sports Detroit. Pistons and Red Wings games are broadcast on the same network. No matter what, the play-by-play broadcast will be handled by Jason Benetti, who is employed by the Tigers.

Details about how much the Tigers and Diamond Sports Group are making as part of this partnership were not disclosed to the media.

"We are excited to renew our longstanding partnership with the Tigers and to continue delivering broadcasts to passionate fans across Michigan," said David Preschlack, CEO of Diamond, in a statement. "Through comprehensive linear and digital offerings, our renewed partnership ensures that Tigers games reach fans across a variety of platforms, keeping them connected to the team they love."

Gas prices in the state of Michigan are up nine cents this week after last week's lowest prices since February, according to the latest data from AAA Michigan.

Michigan drivers are paying an average of $3.13 per gallon for regular unleaded fuel. That price is 21 cents lower than this time last month, and 18 cents less than this time last year.

Drivers are paying an average of $46 for a 15-gallon tank of gasoline, a discount of about $12 from 2023's highest price last August.

"Michigan gas prices continue the up and down rollercoaster, with the state average rising nine cents from last week," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA-The Auto Club Group. "If demand continues to increase, alongside tight gasoline stocks, then pump prices may continue to increase."

Most expensive gas price averages:  Jackson ($3.19), Ann Arbor ($3.18), Grand Rapids ($3.17) Least expensive gas price averages: Traverse City ($3.00), Marquette ($3.04), Saginaw ($3.09)

The Detroit Lions will be without linebacker Alex Anzalone for the next 6-8 weeks after the defender broke his forearm in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Head Coach Dan Campbell told the media after the victory.

Anzalone has been one of the Lions' captains since coming to Detroit in 2021. He's appeared in 55 games for the Lions over the past four seasons, and in eight games this season, Anzalone has made 51 tackles, six tackles for a loss, four quarterback hits, four passes defensed and 1.0 sacks, all while handling a lot of the communication for the defense.

Anzalone isn't the only Lions linebacker recovering from injuries. The Lions have been without Derrick Barnes for almost two months now, after undergoing surgery to repair MCL and PCL tears. It's unclear when Barnes will be able to return to the field for Detroit.

After Sunday's 52-6 win, the Lions improve to 9-1, their best record through 10 games since 1934. They head to Indianapolis to take on Anthony Richardson and the Colts a week from today.

A 43-year-old Erie woman was killed after being struck by three separate cars in Bedford Township, and the Monroe County Sheriff's Office is searching for the driver of the first vehicle that struck her.

This happened around Midnight on Sunday morning on Smith Road, west of Telegraph Road, in Bedford Township.

Authorities tell us Erika Todd was walking eastbound near the shoulder of Smith Road when she was struck by a vehicle of unknown make and model. The driver of that vehicle fled the scene, and Todd fell between the east and westbound lanes of travel.

Todd was struck twice more after that; once by the driver of a Honda Accord heading westbound, and once by Nissan Sentra heading eastbound.

The woman struck was pronounced dead at the scene, while the drivers and passenger involved in those two crashes were not injured and released by police.

Police say that alcohol and speed are unknown factors regarding the initial crash. That crash remains under investigation by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Traffic Services Division. Anyone with info in regards to that first vehicle is asked to called the department at 734-240-7548, or call into Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SpeakUp

Three Michigan State Police Troopers were injured in a freeway crash that happened early Wednesday morning.

Police say in a post on X that it happened around 12:45 a.m. on I-94 near Trumbull.

Authorities say that a 32-year-old Harper Woods man in a Chevy Malbu was heading west on I-94 and did not move over for troopers blocking the right lane of the highway for a separate crash. The driver proceeded to strike the rear driver side of a patrol car before rear ending a second patrol car.

All three troopers were transported to a local hospital and have been released after being treated for minor injuries.

The driver was arrested for impaired driving, as the investigation will be submitted to the Wayne County Prosecutor for review. Westbound I-94 was closed at M-10 while investigators worked this scene, but that portion of the freeway has since been re-opened.

We often talk about risky driving behaviors being the cause of most traffic crashes here in Michigan. said F/Lt. Mike Shaw in the social media post. This driver decided not only to not move over for emergency vehicles, but drive impaired as well. We are fortunate that these troopers were not seriously hurt.

A man who was previously reported missing has died after drowning in Anchor Bay, the St. Clair County Sheriff announced.

This happened Monday evening, as family members called police to report a 78-year-old missing man last seen around 4:30 p.m.

First responders went to his address on Anchor Bay Drive and found a broken dock board, along with other evidence that he may have entered the water.

Divers with the county entered the water and were able to find man quickly. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Clay Township Police Department is investigating the incident further.

Drownings are an especially tragic event, for the victim, their family, and the responders," said Sheriff Mat King via press release. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims family during this time."

, earlier this year. His hit single "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," achieved 6X RIAA- platinum certification, has spent the most amount of time at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this year. That song has accumulated over a billion streams across digital streaming platforms, and made Shaboozey the first-ever Black artist to simultaneously top Billboard's Hot Country Songs and the Top Hot 100.

A Roseville woman died in a crash involving two vehicles in Sterling Heights over the weekend, police tell us.

It happened on Saturday, Nov. 9, around 4:15 p.m. on Utica Road near Forester Street.

Investigators say the driver of a blue hatchback-style vehicle was heading west on Utica Road when they crossed the center line. The driver of a black sport utility vehicle heading west hit the blue vehicle head-on.

The driver of the blue hatchback, a 75-year-old Roseville woman, died at the scene after sustaining injuries at the scene. The occupants of the black vehicle suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene.

Authorities say that alcohol and/or drugs do not appear to be contributing factors in the crash. Police say that anyone who may have witnessed this crash is encouraged to contact the Traffic Safety Bureau at 586-446-2920 with any information.

A 7-year-old boy has died and his 5-year-old sibling has been hospitalized after a drunk driving crash on Detroit's east side.

The three-vehicle crash happened on Saturday, Nov. 9, at the corner of E 7 Mile & Mound.

Police say that the at-fault driver, a 25-year-old man who does not live in Detroit, initially fled the scene, but was arrested when he returned to the scene two hours later.

"Suspect blew a double digit BAC into a breathalyzer," said Deputy Chief Franklin Hayes. "Alcohol was a contributing factor."

Police told us last night that the 5-year-old hospitalized is in critical condition. Investigators are submitting findings to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office to determine charges for the driver.

"Uber. a designated driver, drink responsibly, rideshare, or just don't drink. but for you to partake and then get behind the wheel of one of these machines, it is not okay, it is not acceptable, and we will absolutely hold you accountable," Franklin said. "Our city deserves better, and the privilege of driving, if you put others lives at risk in the city of Detroit, we will hold you accountable."

Two people are dead and another has been hospitalized after a crash involving two cars on Detroit's east side.

It happened around 3 a.m. at the corner of Mount Elliot Street and E. Forest Avenue.

A spokesperson with the Detroit Police Department tells us that the drivers of a Ford Fusion and Chrysler 300 collided with each other.

The driver of the Ford Fusion was ejected from the vehicle, while the other passenger was trapped in the vehicle as it caught on fire. The driver and the passenger, both woman whose ages were not disclosed, were pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Chrysler 300 was hospitalized from the crash and taken to the hospital. His condition is unknown at this time.

Alcohol is believed to be a factor in this crash.

A Westland man was arrested yesterday after trying to get into the U.S. Capitol with a flare gun, a torch lighter and bottles of fuel.

28-year-old Austin Olson has been charged with Possession of a Prohibited Weapon, Unlawful Activities and Disorderly Conduct.

According to United States Capitol Police, the man walked into the Capitol Visitor Center around 12:30 p.m. on Election Day. He was ordered to put his jacket and bag through the X-Ray machine, when officers discovered the items on his person in a hand search. They also say the man smelled as if he had doused his clothes with fueil.

Authorities say that the man also had a manifesto and a letter to congress, with the latter of which being focused on the man's opinions about the Middle East.

The CVC was closed after this incident, with public tours stopped for the rest of the day.

Investigators with Capitol Police say they tracked the man's prior movements, and knew he traveled to Washington, D.C., earlier in the week. They found his vehicle at a nearby intersection, but it was cleared by a K9 unit.

If our officers did not stop this man, yesterday would have been a very different story than this one, said U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger via press release. All of our employees continue to work, together, around the clock during this heightened security environment.
