Tigers extend winning streak to 10 / Verlander wins matchup of Justins /
Miguel Cabrera to 100 RBIs.
Justin Verlander out-pitched Justin Masterson and Miguel Cabrera drove in his 100th run of the season in Detroit's 5-1 win in Cleveland on Tuesday. That extended the Tigers' winning streak to 10 games, during which they've allowed only 13 runs. Detroit is the first major-league team to allow fewer than 15 runs during a 10-game winning streak since Billy Martin's Athletics gave up 13 runs over 10 straight wins in April 1981.

Verlander and Masterson have now started against each other five times, all since the start of the 2010 season; Verlander is 4-1 in those games and Masterson is 1-3.

Cabrera is the sixth player in major-league history to reach triple digits in RBIs in 10 (or more) successive seasons, joining Jimmie Foxx (13, 1929-41), Lou Gehrig (13, 1926-38), Alex Rodriguez (13, 1998-2010), Al Simmons (11, 1924-34) and Albert Pujols (10, 2001-10).

August 7 in Tigers and mlb history:

1952 - Umpire Bill McGowan is suspended indefinitely by the American League. In a game in St. Louis, McGowan had thrown out Tiger P Billy Hoeft, who had been heckling him from the dugout. When St. Louis writers, who have had a stormy relationship over the years with the veteran McGowan, ask him to identify the player, the umpire refuses, then adds an obscene gesture. The writers' complaint results in a suspension.

1955 - After a 12-17 record in July, the Yankees are in a 4-team race. Tiger Frank Lary beats New York 4 - 2 in game one, and New York then earns a critical 3 - 2 10th-inning win on a Mickey Mantle homer off Babe Birrer.

1978 - Eddie Mathews, Addie Joss, and Larry MacPhail are inducted at Cooperstown.

1985 - A five-year agreement between the union and owners, which includes salary arbitration eligibility increasing from two years to three years, ends the two-day mid-season players' strike. The season will resume tomorrow.

2002: In a historic move, major league baseball players end their long-held opposition to mandatory drug testing by agreeing to be tested for illegal steroids beginning in 2003.

MLB Notebook: Pitching key for streaking Tigers.
Justin Verlander's big night continues Detroit hurlers' 10-game run of dominance.

In a summer that has been notable for streaks, it takes something special for any single sustained performance to catch the viewer's eye. With what the Tigers' pitchers have done over their past 10 games, they certainly can make a claim on that end.

During its 10-game winning streak, Detroit's pitching staff owns a 1.16 ERA, having allowed 13 runs (12 earned) in 93 innings. This most recent run of excellence represents the ninth time in the live-ball era a Tigers club has had a winning streak reach double digits. Of the nine, the 1.16 team ERA in this one is the second lowest, behind only the 1.10 ERA posted during 10 straight wins in September 1949.

Tuesday, Justin Verlander threw eight innings of one-run ball, Miguel Cabrera doubled in a run, and the Tigers topped the Indians, 5-1. Over the past five seasons, Verlander has had 24 games in which he's finished an outing with at least eight innings pitched and no more than one run allowed. Those 24 since 2009 are the sixth most in the Majors for this span, behind the totals from Felix Hernandez (42), Cliff Lee (37), Clayton Kershaw (27), Roy Halladay (26) and Cole Hamels (25).

Cabrera, with his RBI double, reached 100 RBIs for the 10th time in his 11-season career. He is the third player to have at least 100 RBIs in 10 of his first 11 seasons, with Albert Pujols also doing it in 10 of 11. Al Simmons opened his career with at least 100 in each of his first 11 years.
With 1,223 career RBIs, Cabrera is currently tied with Jeff Bagwell for the sixth most in history for any player through his first 11 seasons. He is also the fourth player in history to have 10 seasons with 100 or more RBIs through his age-30 season, with no player having more. The other three: Jimmie Foxx, Alex Rodriguez and Pujols. Cabrera currently owns the seventh-most RBIs for any player through his age-30 season. Pujols had the sixth most, with 1,230.
Among all players in history through their age-30 season, Cabrera is third in doubles, ninth in extra-base hits and seventh in total bases.

[kalinecountry]

Ten wins in a row for the Tigers, their 4th-best streak in the live-ball era. The three longer streaks came in years they reached the World (?68 win, ?34 loss) or reached the ALCS (2011 loss). They had two 9-win streaks in ?84, another Series win.

Ten straight quality starts in the streak, and totals of 13 runs and 56 hits allowed. Two runs or less in the last 7 wins, their best such streak (win or lose) since 1988; it ties their best live-ball streak for wins, from April 1982, and ties the best such win streak by any team since the 2002 D-backs had 8 behind Johnson, Schillling and Batista.

Don Kelly collects 3 hits for the 6th time in his 6 seasons, and hits just his third 3-run HR. The last one was June 9, off Masterson, breaking a 1-all tie in the 6th in a 4-1 win. Masterson has allowed just 11 HRs in 164 IP, but five of them plated 3 runs or more.

Justin Verlander gets his 12th win, and his 77 Game Score is his best in 10 starts. He?s 9th on Detroit?s career wins list with 136, closing in on Wild Bill Donovan. For the expansion era, he?s just tied Mike Mussina for #29 in wins through age 30.

The Tribe are 3-11 against Detroit, which directly accounts for their 5-game deficit in the AL Central.
