Around the A.L.
Detroit Tigers.
Torii Hunter was hit by a pitch on his elbow last night and he's not playing today. He'll also miss Friday and Saturday's games for family-related reasons. If Alex Avila doesn't turn things around at the plate one has to wonder if the team will make a trade or Brayan Pena will get increased playing time.

Jim Leyland on coach's decision to send runner: 'I'm sure Tommy would like to have that one back'.

Leyland's got alot of nerve to say that about Brookens, after all the years of f'k ups and buffoonery that lamont pulled as the third base coach.

Pirates 1 - Tigers 0 (11; box): Scoreless into the 11th, for the second time in 3 days, both landing in Pittsburgh?s win column. Russell Martin?s long fly ended what seemed inevitable once the bases were full of Bucs and no outs. Luke Putkonen took the loss in his 2nd inning of work. Vin Mazzaro stranded 2 from Locke?s jam with big outs in the 6th, then stranded his own after being cornered with 1 down in the 7th. He?s left all 9 inherited this year, and is yet another Bucco reliever with a microscopic ERA.

No bad innings for Doug Fister this outing: 12 Ks, 1 walk in 7 scoreless. But no run support, either, matched against Jeff Locke (now 2.25 ERA in 11 starts). They got 4 straight hits in the 5th, the last by Fister (now 4-13 career), but one was out trying to score in that sequence, and the next two grounded out harmlessly. Detroit had 3 hits with RISP, but none got the job done.

Fister?s 80 Game Score was the 6th at that level for Detroit this year, with at least one for all 5 starters. The total matches the Dodgers and Cards; no other team has more than 3. Four of those Tiger gems came in the last 10 games, but the last 2 earned no decision.

Pirates are 19-8 in May and 20-9 at home. They have the 2nd-best record in baseball, and Detroit won the pennant last year. But the park was about half full as Pittsburgh clinched this series.
Bucs lefty Tony Watson celebrated his 28th birthday with a hitless 8th, snapping an 11-game hit streak.
Prince Fielder went 0-2 with RISP, and a single for 5 overall, his 19th straight homerless game and his BA down to .270. He?s on pace for 28 HRs, threatening his 6-year streak of 30+. He just made it last year, with 2 in the last 5 games.
These were the only 1-0 games this year going at least 10 full innings.

May 31 in Tigers and mlb history:

1917 - Ty Cobb collects three hits and starts what will be a 35-game hitting streak, the second longest of his storied career. Cobb hits .383 and wins his 10th batting title in 1917. In all, he will have five hitting streaks of 20 games or more in his 24-year career.

1927 - There is an unassisted triple play for the second consecutive day in the major leagues. During the 9th inning of a game at Tiger Stadium, Detroit first baseman Johnny Neun completes the rare play by catching a Homer Summa line drive, tagging Charlie Jamieson between first and second, and then touching second before Glenn Myatt can return. Detroit beats the Indians, 1 - 0.

1944 - Al Unser hits his only home run of the season, a pinch-hit grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 6 - 2.

1976 - Mark Fidrych pitches an 11-inning complete game and defeats the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-4. The victory is the third of the year for Fidrych, who goes on to win Rookie of the Year honors in the American League.

1983 - American League President Lee MacPhail suspends Yankees owner George Steinbrenner for one week, citing "repeated problems" with the outspoken owner's public criticism of umpires. Steinbrenner, who was fined $50,000 by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn during spring training for berating some National League umpires, cannot attend games or be in his Yankee Stadium office during the suspension.

2010: The Tigers designate pitcher Dontrelle Willis for assignment. He seemed to have turned a corner in his comeback bid when he made the Tigers' starting rotation out of spring training, but has only won one game all season. This may not yet be the end of the line for the gregarious lefthander, though, as both the Diamondbacks and Marlins have shown interest in acquiring his services. On June 1st, Willis will be traded to Arizona for P Billy Buckner.

League avg is 67 runs in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings. Tigers have 55. 581 PA is little above avg. I'm leaning toward coincidence.

WHY? #Tigers lead the AL in runs per game, but at the bottom in OPS, Avg, Runs, etc in 7th, 8th and 9th innings. Any logical reason
