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

September 7 in Tigers and mlb history:

1950 - Tiger OF Hoot Evers hits for the cycle, adds another triple, and knocks in six runs in a 13 - 13, 10-inning tie with Cleveland. The game, ended because of darkness, leaves Detroit in first place by a few percentage points ahead of New York. Al Rosen and Bob Feller both hit early 2-run homers as the Indians blow three leads in the game.

1971: Jim Northrup goes 5 for 5 with two home runs in a 3 - 2, 11-inning Tiger win over Washington.

1984: Down 4 - 0 in the 8th, the Tigers score four runs - three on a homer by Kirk Gibson - to tie the Blue Jays in Toronto. In the 10th, Dave Bergman cracks a 3-run homer and the Tigers win 7 - 4. Willie Hernandez (9-2) wins with three innings of shutout relief.

1993: Detroit C Chad Kreuter homers from both sides of the plate in the Tigers' 10 - 6 win over California. He is the second Tiger this year to perform the feat, joining Mickey Tettleton, who did so on May 7th.

1997: The major league mark for the most combined strikeouts in a game is tied when 33 players whiff during a 15-inning, 5 - 4, Angel victory over the Tigers.

2002: The Tigers defeat the Yankees 2 - 1. Detroit 1B Eric Munson hits a home run in his first major league at bat.

2007: Curtis Granderson of the Tigers hits his 20th home run. That gives him 20 or more doubles, triples, home runs and stolen bases on the season. The only prior players to do that in major league history were Frank Schulte (1911) and Willie Mays (1957). He will be joined by the Phillies' Jimmy Rollins in a few days.

2011: Justin Verlander allows a pair of homers to the Indians' Shelley Duncan, but his teammates pick him up as they rally for an 8 - 6 win, his 22nd of the season. A grand slam by Victor Martinez highlights a 5-run 7th inning push by the Tigers. Jose Valverde records his 42nd save of the year.

Tigers 16 - Royals 2 ? In their first game since a beat-down in Beantown, Detroit bounced back with 26 hits, one shy of their searchable high, set in K.C. in 2004. Two 5-run innings felled Big-Game James Shields, who was rocked by 14 hits in just 3.2 innings ? the most allowed by anyone since last June 28, when Shields also gave 14 to the Tigers. By the 5th inning, #8 batter Omar Infante already had 4 hits, and every Tiger had a knock and a run scored. Infante set new highs with 5 hits and 6 RBI, Andy Dirks with 5 hits and 4 runs.
?In the 2004 game, Infante batted 9th and went 4-for-4 with 3 doubles.

Shields zipped past the Bigs the first time around but found trouble down under, as the 6th through 9th hitters all reached and scored in the 2nd. Miguel Cabrera capped the 5-run frame with his first RBI since August 26. (Chris Davis heard the news and immediately homered.) Six hits off Shields that inning, and 3 more to start off the 3rd with bags full ? but Andy Dirks got picked off 3rd base for the 1st out, and the next two went down swinging. Oy!
?Infante?s on pace to fall short of qualifying, but his .328 average would rank 3rd in the AL.
?The last time Tigers teammates had 5+ hits in a game, Bobby Veach was involved.
?Anibal Sanchez gave 1 run in 7 IP, retaining the AL ERA lead at 2.61. Sanchez has allowed 4 total runs in 5 career starts against K.C., but he?s had two 1-0 losses in their park ? the only such games in his career.
?Detroit?s other 27-hit outburst was a crafty 18-hit CG by Elam Vangilder over Ruth, Gehrig & Co
