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

Justin Verlander is 2nd pitcher in MLB history with 10+ K and 0 Runs allowed in back-to-back postseason games (Koufax in 1965).
 
October 11 in Tigers history:

1911 - Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers and Wildfire Schulte of the Chicago Cubs win the newly established Chalmers Awards, which go to the league's most valuable players. Cobb batted .420 with an American League-leading 127 RBI. Cobb led the league in nearly every offensive category; runs 147, hits 248, doubles 47, triples 24, stolen bases 83, slugging .621, ops 1.088, ops+ 196, and total bases 367. Cobb just finished second in homeruns to homerun baker.
While Schulte led the National League with 21 home runs and 107 RBI.
Using a point system - 8 for a first-place vote, seven for second, and so on - the eight voting writers give Cobb the maximum 64 points. Winners receive Chalmers automobiles.

1973 The Tigers hire Ralph Houk to be their manager.

2011: The Tigers win Game 3 of the ALCS, 5 - 2 over Texas, but still trail the Rangers, 2 games to 1. Doug Fister allows a 1st-inning run, but then settles down, not giving up another score until the 8th. But by that time, Detroit has put five runs across the plate, on solo homers by Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta off Colby Lewis, another by Miguel Cabrera off Koji Uehara, and a two-run single by Austin Jackson.
