August 26 in Tigers history:

1923 - Ty Cobb hits his 46th and final inside-the-park home run.

1957 - Yankee-killer Frank Lary stops New York as Detroit wins 5 - 2. RF Al Kaline is the hitting star with his 17th homerun, a three run bomb to deep leftfield.

1966: Detroit's Earl Wilson, winner of six straight, hits an 8th-inning homer to give himself a 5 - 3 lead over New York. But the Yankees batting against reliever Hank Aguirre in the 9th, tally one run on a Clete Boyer single, and win it 6 - 5, when Mickey Mantle clouts a pinch homer just over a leaping Al Kaline in RF. The win still leaves New York (57-72) in last place.

1984 - In Anaheim, the Tigers use the long ball to beat the Angels 12 - 6. Kirk Gibson has two homers and four runs scored, Marty Castillo hits a homer and scores three times, and Chet Lemon belts the first grand slam of his career. Tommy John goes just 2 2/3 inning in losing to Milt Wilcox (15-7). Detroit leads the AL East by 12 games.
