Boxscore.

from the Tigers official site

Brad Penny threw first-pitch strikes to just five of the 26 Tampa Bay Rays he faced on Tuesday. He pitched his first four innings nearly even on balls and strikes, and he had a half-dozen 2-0 counts. And yet, at the end of the night, Penny outpitched David Price. This was a steal of a win.

August 24 in Tigers history :

1909: At Detroit, A's catcher Paddy Livingston throws out Ty Cobb trying to steal third base during an intentional walk to Sam Crawford. Cobb intentional spikes 3B Frank Baker on his bare hand during the play, prompting howls of protest from the Athletics. The Tigers win 7 - 6, and A's manager Connie Mack will complain to Ban Johnson about Cobb's dirty play. Cobb gets a warning from the American League president.

1914: In the second game of a twinbill at Washington, Detroit's Hooks Dauss and four Nats pitchers combine to plunk a record seven batters, a major-league record that will remain unmatched until 1971. Hooks hits three while Jim Shaw, Jack Bentley, Harry Harper, and Jim Stevens hit four.
The Tigers win, 11 - 0 and take the opener as well 3 - 1.

1938 - Virgil Trucks strikes out his 418th batter - the highest season total in organized ball this century - for Andalusia in an Alabama-Florida League game. By 1941 he will join the Tigers and throw two No-hitters in 1952.

1940: In the Tigers' 12 - 1 victory at Fenway Park, Red Sox outfielder Ted Williams pitches the last two innings against Detroit, allowing one run on three hits.

1976: At Tiger Stadium, Bill Freehan hits his 200th and final home run in a loss to the White Sox. The Detroit catcher will finish his career with 100 homers hit at home with the other 100 dingers hit on the road.

Tigers Notebook : Leyland's faith in rest of Tigers bullpen pays off.
from the detnews


Tigers relievers have flourished, as the numbers prove. In their last 18 games, a stretch that began Aug. 4, the bullpen has a 1.55 ERA.


The Tigers are also handling their road responsibilities in grand fashion. They're 15-8 in their last 23 games away from Comerica Park.
