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

August 5 in Tigers and mlb history:

1929 - Despite three triples by Charlie Gehringer, the Senators overwhelm the Tigers 21 - 5. Sam Rice and Buddy Myer each have four hits and four runs as every hitter in the lineup hits a safety.

1931 - Detroit P Tommy Bridges has a brush with baseball immortality when he retires the first 26 Washington Senators to face him, before surrendering a hit to pinch hitter Dave Harris. The Tigers win the game 13 - 0. Charlie Gehringer has 4 hits with 2 rbi, CF John Stone and RF Earl Webb have 2 hits each and 5 RBI between them. But Tommy Bridges also with 2 hits and rbi, is the pitching star here as he also struck out 7 senators.

1942 - White Sox 1B Don Kolloway's 2-out steal of home in the 5th inning is the only run of the game against Tiger lefty Hal Newhouser. Sore-armed Thornton Lee is the winner. There are seven games played today, and five end in shutouts.

1959 - Mickey Mantle breaks up a scoreless pitching duel between Detroit's Don Mossi and Bobby Shantz by belting an 8th-inning homer with one on. New York wins at home 3 - 0.

1964: After weeks of negotiating, Ford Frick tells the league presidents and club owners he will not run for another term as commissioner.

1972 - Tiger shortstop Ed Brinkman commits an error, ending his major league record of 72 games and 331 total chances without making a misplay.

1986 - After Detroit wins the opener 6 - 5, game two starts off with Detroit's first two hitters - Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell - belting homers off Cleveland's Jose Roman. It is the 3rd time in a month this has occurred. Whitaker hits another as Detroit wins the shootout 11 - 9.

2001 - Detroit falls to Oakland by a score of 5 - 1. In doing so, the Tigers tie a major league record by scoring only one run in their 5th consecutive game. The last of the seven teams who did so were the 1968 Los Angeles Dodgers.

2002 - In a make-up game against the Angels, the Tigers host "Silent Night". The fans hear no electronic, video and commercial enhancements during Detroit's 6 - 3 loss to Anaheim at Comerica Park.

Tigers 3 - White Sox 2 (12 inn.) ? Miguel Cabrera sat out his 4th straight start, but his pinch-hit started the winning rally. Austin Jackson bunted the pinch-runner to 2nd, and Torii Hunter singled him home, then was showered with affection. Detroit has won 8 in a row, their best in 2 seasons, with a quality start each game, totaling 56 IP with a 1.12 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. Chicago?s free-fall reached 10 straight losses, as bad as any one-season streak they?ve had since 1956. (The ChiSox had 10-game skids in 1976 and 1968.)

Drew Smyly came on in the 8th to get Rick Porcello out of a jam, whiffing Adam Dunn (then 3-3 with a HR) to leave the tying run at 3rd. But Paul Konerko cracked Smyly?s 2nd pitch of the 9th into the bullpen, the first run to cross in the southpaw?s last 14 appearances, and the 2nd HR he?s yielded in 62 IP this year.

Porcello allowed Dunn?s monster home run ? Jackson gave it a courtesy jog, but there was no doubt about the first HR in 8 games off a Detroit SP ? but he scattered 7 other hits and one walk in his 7.2 IP, and was in line to win his 5th straight start. Sox rookie Andre Rienzo made his 2nd start and carried a 1-0 lead to the 7th, bidding for his first win, but he walked the first two before Alex Avila?s tying double (Detroit?s only extra-base hit). Jose Iglesias (0-5) failed to bring in the runner from 3rd, but Ramon Santiago?s flyout did the trick. After Chicago leveled, Jose Veras came on for his first high-leverage work as a Tiger, and got 6 outs from 6 batters. Dylan Axelrod suffered his 2nd walk-off loss of the week.
?Prince Fielder went 0-5 with his 18th GDP, and his BA fell to .260, his lowest since the opening week.
?Just when you thought he was ?- for good: Adam Dunn?s last 48 games have a .308 BA, .410 OBP, 13 HRs and 36 RBI.
