July 25 in Tigers history:

1908: With the Highlanders leading the Tigers 3 - 2 in the 8th, Detroit scores two runs on a Ty Cobb triple. With lefty Claude Rossman the next hitter, New York's new manager Kid Elberfeld moves righty pitcher Jack Chesbro to 1B and replaces him with first baseman Hal Chase. Chase allows a fly ball that scores Cobb, then goes back to 1B and Chesbro resumes his spot on the mound. It is Chase's only pitching appearance as the Tigers win, 5 - 3.

1959: Against Detroit, Yankee first baseman Moose Skowron reaching for a wide throw, collides with Tiger runner Coot Veal. Skowron's arm is broken in two places and he is out for the rest of the season. Marv Throneberry will fill in at 1B. The Yanks win, 9 - 8, when Yogi Berra hits a home run in the 9th with Mickey Mantle on. Prior to the Yogi home run, Bobby Richardson and Fritz Brickell hit their first major league homers for New York. Berra's home run erases five Yankee errors, three by 3B Hector Lopez.

1967: Race riots in Detroit force postponement of a Tigers-Orioles game. The games scheduled for the 26th and 27th are shifted to Baltimore.

1999: The Tigers defeat the Red Sox, 9 - 1, as 1B Tony Clark homers from both sides of the plate for the second time this season.

Tigers have faced 3 straight left-handed starters, and in these 3 matchups, have collected a total of 8 extra-base hits vs the starter.

Late-inning successes of Benoit, Smyly have lessened need for #Tigers go seek out a "proven closer," but the continued failures of the rest of the bullpen, forcing those two to be used constantly, is why the #Tigers are still actively seeking bullpen help.
If you want Benoit, Smyly avail. to pitch meaningful innings for #Tigers in Oct., you can't be forced to pitch them meaningless inn. in July.
Benoit said in KC he had stopped throwing in bullpen in middle innings to save his arm, be available to pitch more days

Leyland: "I don't (expletive) around in ballparks where it goes out like a (expletive) ping-ping ball."

Jackson improves vs. lefties, but not stealing much.
Austin Jackson has looked good to Tigers manager Jim Leyland against the White Sox left-handers at the plate this week. The next order of business is getting Jackson comfortable on the basepaths.

"I think he's been a little reluctant because of his hamstring," Leyland said. "I think at this point he would have been going a little bit more. But I think he's more conscious of it."
The Tigers in Spring Training said they hoped Jackson would steal more bases -- he stole 12 in 137 games last year -- but Jackson missed about a month this year with a strained left hamstring.

Only two players in the Majors -- St. Louis' Matt Carpenter and Atlanta's Andrelton Simmons -- have more than 200 at-bats in the leadoff spot this year and fewer than six stolen bases. Jackson has six swipes and 294 at-bats in the top spot.

But Jackson has hit lefties hard this week, and southpaws have given him great trouble this year. He entered this week's series with a .159 average against southpaws and has a hit in the past two games against Chicago's lefty starters, including a home run Wednesday against John Danks. And some of the balls he's hit hard are not reflected in the box score.
"He's swung the bat good," Leyland said. "He's a big key for us."

Tigers struggling to get through ninth with big leads.
The Tigers have had their share of trouble in the ninth inning this year. But their difficulties this week haven't been blown saves.

Manager Jim Leyland called it "unacceptable" that the Tigers haven't been able to easily get through the ninth inning of games that are by and large out of reach. The last two games against the White Sox, he's been forced to bring in closer Joaquin Benoit in non-save situations because other relievers have run into trouble.

And, as Leyland put it in not-so-gentle terms, he doesn't like to fool around in a ballpark like U.S. Cellular Field, where the ball can fly out at any moment.
"The last couple days, our bullpen, as it turned out they really did the job, but they didn't do the job," Leyland said.

Phil Coke and Bruce Rondon combined to pitch a one-run ninth on Monday. Al Alburquerque pitched a spotless eighth but ran into trouble in the ninth on Tuesday, forcing Leyland to go to Benoit with a six-run lead. He gave up a two-run double -- both runs were charged to Aburquerque -- for the final four-run margin.

On Wednesday, Luke Putkonen and Coke combined to allow a home run and single in the ninth before Benoit was brought in with a four-run lead.

Because he had to come in for the ninth in Tuesday and Wednesday's games, Benoit was unavailable to pitch on Thursday, regardless of the circumstances.

"Those consequences of the last couple nights put us in a little bit of a bind," Leyland said. "That's something that has to be addressed. ... I'm not upset about it, it's just a common fact. If we have to use our closer with five-, six-run leads in the ninth inning, we've got problems. That should not happen."
