• The Tigers' 6–0 record to begin the season is their best start since 1985, and is tied for the second-best start to a season in franchise history.[74]
• The Tigers went 30 ​²⁄₃ innings without allowing a walk, from the eighth inning on April 12 against the Cleveland Indians until the second inning on April 17 against the Chicago White Sox. This was their longest stretch without allowing a walk since 1914.[75]
• On August 19, the Tigers compiled at least 19 hits in consecutive games for the fourth time in franchise history, and the first time since June 30, 1935.[76]
• On September 22, the Tigers came within two outs of a combined no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox, before allowing a triple to Tyler Saladino.[77]

All-Stars

The Tigers sent four players to the 2015 All-Star Game. First baseman Miguel Cabrera was voted in as the starter at first base in the fan voting, while shortstop José Iglesias, outfielder J. D. Martinez and pitcher David Price were selected as reserves in the player voting. Cabrera did not participate in the All-Star game due to a left calf strain.[78] The Tigers had a chance to send a fifth player to the All-Star Game this season, as outfielder Yoenis Céspedes was one of the five finalists for the AL in the All-Star Final Vote, but he was beaten out by Mike Moustakas of the Kansas City Royals.[79][80]

Price became the winning pitcher of the game, marking the second consecutive All-Star game that featured a Tiger as the winning pitcher, following Max Scherzer who won in 2014.[81]
