June 8 in Tigers and mlb history:

1978 - In the 12th round of the amateur draft, the Detroit Tigers select Michigan State?s Kirk Gibson. Gibson starred in football and only played baseball for one year in college, but he announces his attention to focus on baseball.

1983 - Lou Whitaker has a career high 11 total bases as he gets two doubles, a triple, and a home run. He thus misses the cycle by a single in the Tigers 6 - 3 win over boston.

2001: Damion Easley becomes the 9th Detroit Tigers player to hit for the cycle, and the first since 1993 when Travis Fryman accomplished the feat. Detroit beats Milwaukee 9 - 4.

Tigers 8 - Red Sox 6 ? All night, it seemed like one big hit for either side could have ignited a blowout. But that hit never came, and Detroit held on for a close win. Jon Lester and Max Scherzer combined for 11 IP, 23 hits and 9 runs, but Max spaced ?em just a little better, for his first win in four starts. Lester?s 12 hits tied his one-time career high, in his shortest stint since last August, and third game ever with no strikeouts.

Two-out doubles in the 1st by Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez led to 2 runs, starting a skein of four straight scoring frames that built a 5-1 lead. Scherzer raced through the order once, but Dustin Pedroia snapped the string of 9 straight outs with his first long one in 23 games. Shortstop Eugenio Suarez, making his first start, answered with his first homer, but Max began to bog down. Boston collected 9 hits plus a walk from the 5th through 7th (seven 2-out hits), driving Scherzer out after 115 pitches, but only tallied once per frame. The Bengals kept up their attack, despite no breakthrough bash ? Miggy finished with 3 knocks (2 doubles), Nick Castellanos the same with his 5th HR ? and the home nine led 8-4 after eight.

But no situation is safe for Joe Nathan these days. The floundering closer threw 28 pitches before his first swing-and-miss, yielding 4 hits and 2 runs, before Stephen Drew?s flyout stranded the last two Bostons.

Detroit hit .239 in 17 games between Sox meetings, but 29 safeties in the first two games of this set left them at .351 and 5-0 against Boston this year.

Since swatting a career-high 21 HRs in 2011, Pedroia?s slugging marks have shrunk from .474 to .449, .415 and .373 before tonight. Boston led the majors in SLG last year, down to 12th in the AL this year.

Suarez is the 4th to start at SS for Detroit this year. That position produced an MLB-worst .492 OPS, one HR and 6 extra-base hits in Detroit?s first 57 games.
Miggy vs. Lester: 14 for 27, 9 walks, 3 Ks.
