September 15 in Tigers and mlb history:

1901: The Detroit Tigers roll over Cleveland behind Ed Siever with what was the most lopsided score in American League history 21 - 0 -- (equaled on August 13, 1939) -- until the Cleveland Indians beat the New York Yankees 22 - 0 on August 31, 2004 at Yankee Stadium. Detroit pounds out 24 hits off rookie Jack Bracken as Pop Dillon leads the way with four hits. The game is mercifully called after 7 1/2 innings to allow Cleveland to catch a train. Bracken's ERA is not helped by this outing and he will end this season, his only one in the majors, with a 6.21 mark, the highest in the deadball era.

1950: For a ML-record sixth time, Johnny Mize hits three home runs in one game, but the Yankees lose 9 - 7 at Detroit. Mize matches Babe Ruth's mark of doing it in both leagues, but the Babe only had two three-homer games. With the victory, the Tigers recapture first place from New York.

1952: In a Cold War move, the Russians decry the American game of baseball by citing their own game of "lapka" as being the progenitor of baseball. They call American players "slaves." The State Department links the Soviet claim as the founders of baseball as part of its "Hate America" campaign.

1961: The Yankees set a new American League record for most homers in a season as they split a doubleheader in Detroit, winning 11 - 1 and losing 4 - 2. Circuit blows by Bill Skowron and Yogi Berra in the opener help Whitey Ford win his 24th and increase New York's homer total to 222. This breaks the old mark set by the 1947 Giants and tied by the 1956 Reds. Norm Cash and Steve Boros homer in the nitecap to back Ron Kline's 7-hitter.

1969: Denny McLain records his 9th shutout, a Tiger record, beating New York, 2 - 0 at Yankee Stadium.

2000: The Tigers outlast the Red Sox, 7 - 6. The two teams combine to use a league record-tying 42 players in the contest.

Tigers' offense struggling to score recently.
DETROIT -- The Tigers have been held to three runs or fewer in eight of their 12 games this month. In four of those eight games, Detroit has outhit its opponent. While it's an oddity, it raises some concern, as the Tigers make their push for the postseason.

"Some of that, overall, is our lack of speed," manager Jim Leyland said. "There was the game in Pittsburgh, when we got four hits in one inning and didn't score a run. So some of it depends who is on the bases and stuff like that, that's some of it. Some of it is the pitching like [Royals starter Ervin] Santana was [on Saturday] night."

The Tigers have been shut out 10 times this season, after being blanked only two times last year. Entering Sunday's game against the Royals, the Tigers have hit five home runs in September, which ranks last in the Majors. Alex Avila added to that total with a homer in the second inning of Sunday's game.
"That's why I said all along we normally score when we hit doubles and hit it over the fence," Leyland said.

Peralta getting in work in left field.
DETROIT -- Shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who is nearing the end of his 50-game suspension, has been fielding balls in left field during early work prior to a few games this week.
The Tigers haven't announced whether Peralta will return to the team once his suspension ends, but he will likely report to the instructional league at the Tigers' Spring Training facility in Lakeland, Fla., at some point in the near future. Workouts there begin on Sept. 19, with games beginning Sept. 23.

For now, Peralta is allowed to work out with the Tigers until the gates open, and then he can watch the game from the clubhouse.
"He hits and works out with [outfield coach Tom Brookens]," manager Jim Leyland said. "He's doing OK. You can't really simulate game stuff."

With no Minor League affiliates playing, the Tigers might have Peralta play the position during an early batting practice so that he can learn to read the flight of the ball off the bat.

"We know he can catch a fly ball," Leyland said. "But getting it off the bat with the ball sinking, sailing or carrying over your head or something, you never know how that's going to work."
Peralta's suspension will end just before the final regular-season series, which is in Miami from Sept. 27-29.

Pregame;
Iglesias gets Sunday off to rest aching legs.
DETROIT -- Shortstop Jose Iglesias wasn't in the lineup against the Royals on Sunday, as he got a day off to rest shin splints in both legs.
Iglesias was forced out of a game early and missed two games last week due to the ailment. Ramon Santiago filled in for Iglesias at shortstop.

"[Our trainers] say there's things when they just ache and stuff. It was probably something that is not really going to get better until the wintertime," manager Jim Leyland said. "I played an extra left-handed hitter today to give him a little blow on his legs."

Although Iglesias may be dealing with some soreness in his legs, it hasn't affected his range in the field or on the basepaths, as he beat out a bunt single in the sixth inning on Saturday.
"I don't really understand when a guy has shin splints, I'm talking about from a medical standpoint, how a guy can run that fast," Leyland said. "But [the trainers] say he can."
