July 1 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911: Ty Cobb, who had an infield single off Earl Hamilton in his last game on June 29th, repeats by beating out another infield hit against the St. Louis lefty. Again Detroit wins, this time 8 - 0.

1936: Detroit collects 25 hits off three White Sox pitchers. Included in the pounding are
4 hit games each from 2B Charlie Gehringer, LF Goose Goslin, and RF Gee Walker who had 7 rbi in 21 - 7 win. Tommy Bridges is the complete game pitcher.

1945 - Away from the game for four years, Hank Greenberg makes a dramatic return in front of an emotional crowd of 47,700 at Briggs Stadium as he homers off Charlie Gassaway in his first game following being released from the Armed Forces. Hammerin Hank's round-tripper helps the first-place Tigers beat the A's 9 - 5.

1970: The return of Denny McLain following his suspension is witnessed by a gathering of 53,863 fans and 71 writers. He is knocked out of the box in the 6th inning, but the Tigers rally to beat the Yankees in the 11th 6 - 5.

1973 - Mickey Lolich hurls his 35th shutout for Detroit, breaking the franchise record previously held by George Mullin. Lolich twirls a masterful four-hitter in blanking the Baltimore Orioles, 1-0 at Tiger Stadium in a game that takes less than two hours to complete.

1997 - at Tiger Stadium: During the course of two games, June 30 and today, against the New York Mets, Bobby Higginson hits home runs in four consecutive official at-bats tying a big-league mark.

Tigers 5 - Athletics 4 ? Not quite the ?ultimate slam? ? there was just one out, and one strike, when Rajai Davis caught a hanging slider from Sean Doolittle, and turned a 4-1 deficit to stunning victory.

The joyful disbelief on Rajai?s face as he reached first said all you need to know about how devastating Doolittle has been on batters this year. But his blown save on Saturday was a recent sign that ? twenty-six straight scoreless innings aside ? he?s still just human, after all. Another was the walk that set the stage for Davis, after two piddling hits and an easy punch-out: Austin Jackson fouled off three 2-and-2 offers, then took two straight balls ? the lefty?s first walk in five weeks, and second of the year. In 27 prior at-bats that reached a 2-2 count, Doolittle had allowed a single and no walks, with 14 Ks.

Still another reminder that sudden reversals do happen was on deck while Davis batted: Ian Kinsler hit a 3-run homer Saturday with two out in the 9th, dodging a 2-1 loss.

Doolittle did have one other disaster this year, right before his scoreless streak: Tied 8th in Houston, four batters faced, four hits, all scored. And Mike Trout got him for a tying two-run homer in the 9th, back on April 15.
Phil Coke, my favorite target, kept Detroit?s ship from sinking utterly in the 8th, after the A?s had cracked a 1-1 tie with three runs, and Joba Chamberlain foundered. Coke came in with two on and no outs, and got two grounders for three outs.
There?s just one Tigers walk-off from 3 runs down in the database ? the only one for any team with two outs and two strikes: in 1988, Alan Trammell off Cecilio Guante.
Scott Kazmir tamed the Tigers for five innings, but a hip condition forced him out mid-batter in the 6th, lead run on second, after Miggy?s homer tied it. Dan Otero cleaned that up.
So, what?s the story behind Otero? Waived twice in two days last March, he now has a 2.30-ish ERA in over 100 career innings. Super ground-ball rate, but doesn?t seem to be a submariner.
For Tigers fans, nothing that comes before October can erase the sting of last year?s ALCS stunners. But doing this, to this team, while the champs were getting humbled in Chicago ? that?ll hold us through the next slump, at least.

Miggy needs 21 homers to become the 8th player in ML history to hit 400 homeruns in age 31 year.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/play-index/share.cgi?id=lu6tF
7 players.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cabremi01.shtml
Miggy.

Miggy now tied for 66th place with 379 homeruns with Tony Perez and Orlando Cepeda.

The 21 homeruns would move Miggy's 241 past Whitaker 244, Fielder 245, + tie Willie Horton at 262 for 4th most Tigers history
