9/02/24 Tigers player of month is unsung utility man who just wrapped up incredible August. At the beginning of August, it wasn't clear whether infielder Zach McKinstry would keep his roster spot, given the roster upheaval of the trade deadline and the promotion of several young players. A month later, McKinstry is not only still here, he's the hottest hitter on the team. The 29-year-old utility man was named the Detroit Tigers' player of the month after a sizzling August in which he hit .368 in 73 plate appearances, including a career-best 11-game hitting streak from Aug. 17-31. McKinstry had seven doubles, a triple, a homer and seven runs batted in.

7/14/24 Tigers rally in ninth again to top Dodgers, take series. The atmosphere inside the Tigers' clubhouse at Target Field on the Fourth of July was funereal. Since that day, the Tigers swept the Reds in Cincinnati, took three of four from American League Central Division-leading Cleveland and, after a second straight rousing ninth-inning rally, won two of three from the National League West-leading Dodgers. Down 3-2 in the ninth Sunday, Zach McKinstry led off with a triple against right-hander Yohan Ramirez. Justyn-Henry Malloy singled in the tying run and then Ramirez misplayed two bunts.

7/13/24 Tigers share MLB draft stories: 'Five minutes after I got drafted, my dad and I went out to play golf'. The draft has changed a lot in recent years. It's not hard to find players in the Detroit Tigers clubhouse who were drafted in rounds that no longer exist. Infielder Zach McKinstry notes with pride that he was the 1,001st player drafted in 2016. A few lockers away from him sits left-handed pitcher Joey Wentz, who was drafted 961 spots ahead of him eight years ago.

6/25/24 Bryce Harper reacts to Phillies pulling off feat not seen in 95 years. Prior to Monday, the last time a 1-3-5 triple play occurred in Major League Baseball, Babe Ruth was still six years away from playing his final season. With the Tigers down 4-0, Zach McKinstry started it off in the third frame with a single to center off of Phillies starter Aaron Nola. Carson Kelly then followed that up with a single of his own to move McKinstry to third base. Matt Vierling tried to make things happen but hit a liner that went straight to Nola's glove.

6/24/24 Phillies turn rare 1-3-5 triple play against Tigers, 1st since 1929. The Philadelphia Phillies turned a rare 1-3-5 triple play to snuff out a possible Detroit Tigers. Trailing 4-0, the Tigers had a chance to get something going when Zach McKinstry and Carson Kelly hit back-to-back singles to start the third inning, putting runners on the corners. Matt Vierling hit a broken-bat liner back to Aaron Nola, who tossed to Bryce Harper to double Kelly off first. McKinstry had never stopped running, so Harper flipped to Alec Bohm to finish the triple play. Major League Baseball says it's the first 1-3-5 triple play in the majors since the Tigers turned one against the Red Sox on July 11, 1929.

6/07/24 Versatility continues serving North Side grad McKinstry well in Detroit. No matter where he's played or lived, giving back has always been in Zach McKinstry's DNA. Holding the camp at Northside Park, a spot he and his brother both know well from growing up nearby, makes complete sense. “Everywhere I go, I try to leave a little bit of that imprint and give back to that next generation of players and young athletes in the Fort Wayne area, not only baseball but also played football and basketball, soccer,” McKinstry said.

4/13/24 McKinstry commits 3-run E, then allows 3-run HR. Third baseman Zach McKinstry accounted for six runs allowed in a bizarre 12th inning, as the Detroit Tigers dropped a lengthy 11-5 decision to the Minnesota Twins in the opening game of a doubleheader on Saturday. Already leading 5-4 in the 13th, the Twins took advantage of a based-loaded walk, and a three-run error by McKinstry at third, when Ryan Jeffers hit a grounder that went through his legs. Then, needing pitchers on a long day in which his club had already used five, Detroit manager AJ Hinch called on McKinstry to take the mound and help the Tigers get out of the inning.
