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

Miggy sets postseason record for reaching base.
DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera's health has left him limited at the plate for a while. Even at less than full strength, however, he has reached a postseason record.

With his sixth-inning single against A's starter Dan Straily in Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday, Cabrera reached base safely in his 28th consecutive postseason game, pushing him past the previous postseason record set by Philadelphia's Chase Utley from 2007-2009.

Cabrera has reached base safely in every postseason game he has played as a Tiger. Before that, he had a 15-game streak with the then-Florida Marlins in 2003.

The only two playoff games in which Cabrera has not reached base are his first, Game 1 of the 2003 NL Division Series against San Francisco, and his last that year, Game 6 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium.

October 9 in Tigers history:

1910 - Nap Lajoie, in a batting race with Ty Cobb, collects eight hits for Cleveland in a season-ending doubleheader with the St. Louis Browns. The hits were somewhat tainted, however, as St. Louis third baseman Red Corriden played back while Lajoie bunted safely six times.

1934 - The St. Louis Cardinals' Dizzy Dean blanks the Detroit Tigers, 11 - 0, in Game Seven of the World Series.

1984 - The Detroit Tigers win the World Series opener as Jack Morris pitches a complete game 3 - 2 victory over San Diego. Larry Herndon's two-run home run in the 5th inning provides the winning margin.

2012: The Athletics avoid elimination with a 2 - 0 win over the Tigers in Game 3 of the ALDS. Brett Anderson pitches 6 shutout innings in returning to the mound after a twenty-day injury layoff, setting the tone for Oakland. Coco Crisp scores a run in the 1st and DH Seth Smith homers off Anibal Sanchez in the 5th for the only runs of the game.
