July 18 in Tigers and mlb history:

1902: The Detroit Tigers loaned Harry Arndt and Sport McAllister to the Baltimore Orioles.

1906: Ty Cobb, suffering from stomach cramps, leaves the Tigers and returns to Detroit. He will undergo an operation for ulcers, and be out of the lineup until September.

1921: Babe Ruth hits the 139th home run of his career, passing Roger Connor to become baseball's all-time home run leader. The blast off Bert Cole at Navin Field in Detroit, MI is estimated by some to have traveled upwards of 575 feet, the longest in major league history.

1927: The greatest of the Detroit Tigers now with the Philadelphia A's, Ty Cobb makes his 4,000th hit ironically a double off Sam Gibson of Detroit. Detroit wins 5 - 3 over Lefty Grove.

1930: The Chicago White Sox selected Bob Fothergill off waivers from the Detroit Tigers.

1947: Freddie Hutchinson of the Tigers shuts out the Yankees 8 - 0, stopping their winning streak at 19.

1959: The Tigers drop game one to the Orioles 5 - 2, their 13th loss in 15 games, then win the nitecap 2 - 0, despite getting just two hits off Hoyt Wilhelm. Hoyt allows two singles, but his knuckler proves elusive to Joe Ginsberg, who allows four passed balls to tie the American League record held by Gus Triandos and two others. O's catchers Ginsberg and Triandos will set the modern major-league record for passed balls this season with 49.

1961: A day after the Georgia Peach passed away, at Busch Stadium Bill White ties Ty Cobb's 49-year old record by collecting 14 hits in consecutive doubleheaders as the Cardinal first baseman goes 3 for 4 in both games of a doubleheader sweep over the Cubs. Yesterday, the future National League president had gone 8 for 10 in twin bill action also against Chicago.

1970: San Francisco's Willie Mays, at the age of 39, strokes a single off Montreal's Mike Wegener for his 3,000th hit. Mays' safety comes in his 2,639th game and he joins Hank Aaron, who stroked his 3,000th a month earlier. Aaron's was hit in his 2,460th game. The Giants coast to a 10 - 1 victory.

1990: Arbitrator George Nicolau rules in favor of the Players Association saying that the 26 major league owners colluded and were aware of a databank that detailed 1987 salary offers. The owners will be forced to pay significant damages to the affected players.

1994: The Major League Baseball Players Association rejects the owners' salary cap proposal as baseball moves a step closer to a strike.

1997: The Mariners, seeking pitching help, trade Scott Sanders (3-6) and two minor leaguers (pitcher Dean Crow and 3B Carlos Villalobos) to the Detroit Tigers for right-handers Omar Olivares (5-6) and Felipe Lira (5-7).

1998: The Oakland Athletics traded a player to be named later to the Detroit Tigers for Bip Roberts. The Oakland Athletics sent Jason Wood (July 18, 1998) to the Detroit Tigers to complete the trade.

1999: On Yogi Berra Day at Yankee Stadium, David Cone becomes the 16th pitcher in major league history and the third Yankee to toss a perfect game, beating the Expos, 6 - 0. In pre-game ceremonies, Don Larsen throws out the ceremonial first pitch to Yogi, commemorating his 1956 World Series perfect game. Coincidentally, these are the only two perfect games ever pitched in interleague games.

2000: The Tigers purchase veteran 1B Hal Morris from the Reds.

2001: In response to the grievance filed by the umpires earlier in the week, the commissioner's office announces pitch counts will not be used as an evaluation technique.

2001: Players notify stadium security when a fan, reaching for a foul ball, drops and then retrieves a gun on the field at Comerica Park. It turns out to be a Glock pistol belonging to an embarrassed off-duty three-year veteran of the Detroit Police Department, who had his weapon fall out of its holster as he went for the ball.

Boyd looking to execute in rematch with royals.
Tigers official site

Three things to know about this game
Tigers outfielder J.D. Martinez has pounded lefties this season, entering the series 18-for-36 with six home runs against southpaws in 2017. Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain is 5-for-14 against Boyd with three doubles, a home run and five RBIs.

The Royals' bullpen features three former Tigers in Al Alburquerque, Neftali Feliz and Joakim Soria. Alburquerque spent five seasons in Detroit, while Feliz and Soria both spent time as the closer in 2015.

Burns, called up Monday from Triple-A Omaha, has only put in two plate appearances for Kansas City this year. But the outfielder can fly when given the opportunity. On Sept. 19, 2016, Burns busted down the line in just 3.75 seconds on a play against the White Sox. That was the second-fastest home-to-first time tracked by Statcast on any individual non-bunt play last season.
