It was a day of standout performances across the Detroit Tigers' farm system, with big swings and strong debuts making headlines. Let's break down the action from Wednesday, April 29, 2026.

Triple-A Toledo: Mud Hens 3, Clippers 1
Dylan File was in control from the start, blanking Columbus over six innings despite just two strikeouts. The Hens' offense got going in the third inning when Max Burt singled, swiped second, and scored on a Ben Malgeri double. Singles from Max Clark and Gage Workman pushed the lead to 2-0. Burt later doubled and scored on another Malgeri single in the seventh to make it 3-0. Matt Seelinger handled the seventh but allowed a run in the eighth, before Tyler Mattison—fresh off a stint in Erie—cleaned up and locked down the ninth for his first save. The series continues with a 6:35 p.m. ET start.

Double-A Erie: SeaWolves 5, Senators 0
Lefty Carlos Peña spun another gem, while shortstop John Peck continued his hot streak at the plate. The SeaWolves jumped out early in the first inning: Seth Stephenson reached on an error, stole second, and scored on a Thayron Liranzo groundout. Then Brett Callahan drew a walk and came home on Peck's fourth homer of the season—a two-run blast to right-center that gave Erie a 3-0 lead. Peña worked through a jam in the third after a walk and a throwing error from Peck, but Ethan Anderson lined out to third to end the threat. Izaac Pacheco launched a solo shot in the fourth—a 110-mph missile over the right-field wall—and Peyton Graham later singled, stole second, and scored on an E.J. Exposito double to make it 5-0. Peña allowed a leadoff double in the fifth but got a groundout to keep the shutout intact.

With Peck heating up and Peña dealing, Erie is building momentum. Keep an eye on these rising stars as they make their mark in the Tigers' system.
