Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

DODGERS DON'T SCARE JUSTIN VERLANDER.
Verlander allowed just two hits over eight innings to beat the 87-34 Dodgers on Sunday.
The last pitcher to give up no more than two hits while throwing at least eight innings in a win over an opponent that was at least 50 games over .500 was the Expos' Bob Sebra over the 103-53 Mets on Sept. 30, 1986.
The last pitcher to do that to beat a team at least 53 games over .500 was the St. Louis Browns' General Al Crowder against the 96-42 Philadelphia Athletics on Sept. 16, 1929.
(Elias Sports Bureau)
 
August 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905: Umpire John Sheridan forfeits a game to Washington in the 11th when the Tigers refuse to resume play after a lengthy dispute. Washington is ahead 2 - 1 at the time of the forfeiture.

1915: In the 2nd inning of game one of a doubleheader versus Detroit, the crowd sees the Senators score a run with no times at bat, the only time it's ever happened. Chick Gandil and Merito Acosta walk; Rip Williams sacrifices, and George McBride hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Gandil, and the Tigers catch Acosta off second base when OF Bobby Veach throws to Ossie Vitt. Washington's Walter Johnson goes on to win and snap the Tigers' 9-game win streak.

1931: Newark (International) purchased George Quellich from the Detroit Tigers.

1933: Hank Greenberg has the first of 35 multi-home run games. He also gets the first of his six career walk-off home runs.

1934: Rudy York makes his big league debut with the Tigers.

1939: The Detroit Tigers purchased Clay Smith from the Cleveland Indians.

1946: Clubs approve a change to a 168-game schedule, but they will rescind the decision at another meeting on September 16. Television is first recognized, with clubs given rights to their own games. Players jumping to outlaw leagues will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement for five years.

1965: Juan Marichal thinks Johnny Roseboro throws too close to his head returning the ball to Sandy Koufax and attacks the Dodger catcher with his bat. The Los Angeles backstop suffers cuts on the head during the 14-minute brawl.

1968: Jim Merritt loses his shutout in the 9th inning when Mickey Mantle parks a pinch homer at the Metrodome. The Twins win, 3 - 1.
Mick's homer ties him with Jimmie Foxx for 3rd place on the all-time list.

1972: The Tigers and A’s have another brawl, setting up bad blood in that year’s ALCS showdown between them.

1974: Before a crowd of 35,866, the largest in 18 years at Fenway Park, the Red Sox turn back the A's, 3 - 0. Luis Tiant wins his 20th for Boston this year. Boston (70-54) now leads the American League East by seven games.

1978: Ron LeFlore swipes his 27th consecutive base as Detroit beats the Twins 7 - 3. He began the streak on July 16.

1985: The Detroit Tigers released Doug Bair.

1997: The Tigers pound the Brewers 16 - 1, with the aid of 23 hits and an 11-run 7th inning. Bobby Higginson gets five hits for Detroit, while Travis Fryman and Tony Clark drive in four runs apiece.

2002: As part of a 3-team trade: The Oakland Athletics sent a player to be named later, Franklyn German and Carlos Pena to the Detroit Tigers.
The New York Yankees sent Jason Arnold (minors), John-Ford Griffin and Ted Lilly to the Oakland Athletics.
The Detroit Tigers sent Jeff Weaver to the New York Yankees. The Detroit Tigers sent cash to the Oakland Athletics.
The Oakland Athletics sent Jeremy Bonderman (August 22, 2002) to the Detroit Tigers to complete the trade.

2011: Detroit's Justin Verlander continues his dominance on the mound, earning his major league-leading 19th win in the Tigers' 5 - 2 victory over the Rays. It is his 7th consecutive winning start. Alex Avila, hitting .424 in August, hits a two-run homer off Jeff Niemann in the 2nd to send the Tigers on their way.

Three things to know about this game
It has been an up-and-down season for Tanaka, who is 3-3 with a 3.00 ERA over his last nine starts and has recorded at least eight strikeouts in six of his last 11 efforts.

Boyd has had Todd Frazier's number over the course of their previous meetings. The veteran infielder has managed just one hit in 15 at-bats (.067) against Boyd, though that one hit was a homer on April 28 of this season, when Frazier was playing for the White Sox.

Despite signing a five-year, $86 million deal prior to this season, Aroldis Chapman has been bounced from his role as the Yankees' closer, with manager Joe Girardi saying that he will divide the ninth inning between Dellin Betances and David Robertson based upon matchups.

Notable
Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge leads the AL with 37 home runs.
The Yankees have the third-lowest ERA in the AL at 3.84.

Boyd has struggled recently, giving up 11 runs (10 earned) in has past three appearances (two starts), spanning 11 innings.
Boyd allowed four runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings in his only other start against the Yankees.

Tanaka is making his first start since Aug. 9. He was on the 10-day disabled list with shoulder inflammation.

Tanaka faced the Tigers on Aug. 2, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits in six innings. He struck out seven.
Tanaka is 0-3 with a 4.56 ERA in four starts against Detroit. Notable Tigers vs Tanaka: Miguel Cabrera (2 x 10), Ian Kinsler (2 x 11, 1 HR), Victor Martinez (3 x 10, 1 HR).
