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

I am not poor, by any means. However, I bring bottled water to the game. I eat before or after the game, elsewhere. I buy my Tigers apparel at places like Meijer.

I refuse to support lavish lifestyles of those associated with the four major sports.

Hoping to keep hitting, Avila grows out hair.
DETROIT -- Alex Avila tried growing out his beard the last few years. Now, he's looking for good luck by growing out his hair.

It's hard to see under his helmet and mask, but he's growing a pretty decent head of hair. He hasn't cut it since he came back from his first stint on the disabled list at the beginning of July. The way he hit upon his return, he didn't want to risk it. Now, he's debating whether to grow it out for the rest of the season.

It's something new, he said.

Avila was back in the starting lineup Friday after going 0-for-1 as a pinch-hitter in Thursday's ninth-inning comeback. He entered Friday's series opener against Cleveland batting an even .200 on the season, but .247 with four home runs and 25 RBIs in 28 games since returning from the DL in July.

Comeback vs. A's among Leyland's favorite wins.
DETROIT -- Jim Leyland has a World Series ring thanks to a walk-off hit from Edgar Renteria in 1997. He has an American League championship ring thanks to a walk-off homer from Magglio Ordonez in 2006. He has a lot of dramatic victories mixed in.

Thursday's 7-6 comeback win against Oakland ranks pretty high on his list.

"That will go down as one of my favorite wins of all time," Leyland said Friday, a day after Torii Hunter delivered a three-run walk-off homer. "That was exciting. It didn't look too good for the old home team."

It wasn't just the turnaround in the game, however, that made it one of his favorites. It was the way his team responded after being roughed up for 3 1/2 games in the series against the A's, down 6-1 after five innings Thursday before rallying to avoid a sweep.

"The way we got our butts kicked for three days, it looked like we were going to get our butts kicked again," Leyland said. "I think that says a lot for your team when you just got your fanny beat and you could've said, 'You know what, it just wasn't our four days. We'll take our beating and try to get ready for Cleveland.'

"But they didn't do that. They hung in there and played it out and played nine innings and pulled a game out that we probably shouldn't have won. That was a very impressive game to me. You could tell on the bench, too, the guys were into it. Nobody gave up. Nobody thought we didn't have a chance."

The five-run comeback was the biggest of the season for Detroit. The four-run ninth inning tied their season best from Aug. 5 in Cleveland.

Putkonen makes quick impact after promotion.
DETROIT -- Luke Putkonen began Thursday heading north on Interstate 75 from Toledo, Ohio, called back to the big leagues as a fresh reliever after the A's had battered Detroit's bullpen.

"We're not looking to have this situation," manager Jim Leyland said the night before, "but you never know."

By the end of the day, Putkonen was pitching. By the end of the game, he was a huge reason the Tigers were able to come back and win.

Putkonen replaced Max Scherzer in the sixth and racked up four strikeouts over two scoreless innings. He pounded the strike zone with his mid-90s fastball to go with a curveball and changeup he commanded.

It was one of his better outings of the year, and it came on a day when he really didn't have time to think about the hitters he'd be facing.

"I just wanted to come in and put up a couple zeros," Putkonen said afterward.

It marked the second time this season Putkonen has delivered two or more scoreless innings, both in late-inning victories. He pitched 2 1/3 hitless innings with four strikeouts May 2 in Houston, where his extra-inning work allowed Detroit to pull ahead in the 14th inning.

Quick hits;
? Major League Baseball reversed a scoring decision from last week, turning a Brian Dozier error from an Aug. 21 game against Minnesota into a Prince Fielder infield single.

? Phil Coke has six scoreless innings with nine strikeouts at Triple-A Toledo after another scoreless appearance for the Mud Hens on Thursday. Coke is eligible to be recalled on Saturday, though the Tigers could wait until rosters expand on Sunday and still have him eligible for the postseason if they use an injury exemption.
 
Trainer called on to look at Octavio Dotel after 14 pitches (7 balls, 7 strikes), BB & 1B (and 2-0 count on batter.
