June 11 in Tigers and mlb history:

1904: At Detroit? the Tigers beat the Senators? 8 - 3? behind Wild Bill Donovan. Donovan? batting 8th? hits a two-run homer? while his teammate Ed Gremminger clubs his only homer of the year? reportedly the first homer in 7 years to be hit over the fence.

1925: In pre-game ceremonies? the World Series flag is raised in Washington. Then Ty Cobb drives in 2 runs in the 1st inning off Walter Johnson to lead the Tigers to a 7 - 4 win.

1954: The Tigers hit 6 home runs in a game against the Athletics? winning 16 - 5? to get them back to the .500 level. Both 3B Ray Boone and teammate Al Kaline hit grand slams. For Kaline? he becomes the youngest player to hit a grandslam since Joe Dimaggio, and is one of 3 grand slams he will hit in his career.

1961: At Tiger Stadium, Norm Cash becomes the first Detroit player to hit a fair ball over the right field roof.

1994 - Detroit defeats California by a score of 11 - 5 as OF Kirk Gibson drives home 7 of the runs on a pair of homers.

2011: The Tigers catch the Indians atop the AL Central with an 8 - 1 win over Seattle. Max Scherzer picks up his 8th win, tied for the AL lead, defeating Michael Pineda.
