September 17 in Tigers and mlb history:

1910: Detroit pitcher Ed Summers, a notoriously poor hitter, bounces two home runs into the stands in a 10 - 3 victory over the A's. The two homers, both off Harry Krause, will comprise his career total.

1920: The Tigers' Bobby Veach and the Giants' George Burns hit for the cycle, the first time it has happened twice on the same day. It will be 88 years until the feat is duplicated by Adri?n Beltre and Stephen Drew. Veach has his cycle in the Tigers 14 - 13 win over boston and knocks in 6 runs. Ty Cobb has 4 walks and scores 4 runs.

1934 - The Yankees reach Detroit for a last-chance series and lose the opener, as veteran Al Crowder beats Lefty Gomez with a 3 - 0 shutout.

1958 - Despite a wind blowing in at Briggs Stadium, Mickey Mantle poles a Jim Bunning pitch down the right field line over the roof onto Trumbull Avenue, some 500 feet away. The 2-run homer is all that Bunning allows as the Tigers win 5 - 2. Reno Bertoia playing 3B for the Tigers is the hitting star with 2 homeruns.

1968: Detroit clinches the American League pennant with a 2 - 1 win over the Yankees. Detroit is ahead 1 - 0 when Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey phones Tiger general manager Jim Campbell with the news that the Sox have beaten the Orioles, clinching the pennant for the Tigers. Campbell keeps the score off the radio and the scoreboard, fearing the news will send fans rampaging onto the field. Don Wert singles home PH Al Kaline who walked earlier in the inning with the winner in the 9th and the fans tear down the left field screen.

2. Joe Nathan is starting to remind of 2009 Brad Lidge. Remember that year? Lidge was horrendous all season with the Phillies, going 0-8 with a 7.21 ERA and 11 home runs and 34 walks in just 58⅔ innings, and yet, Charlie Manuel stuck with him as closer all season and the Phillies still managed to reach the World Series. Manuel's loyalty finally burned him in Game 4, when Lidge entered in the ninth of a 4-4 tie and gave up three runs.

What does that have to do with Nathan? He hasn't been quite as bad as Lidge but inspires the same level of confidence in Tigers fans right now. After J.D. Martinez hit a dramatic three-run homer in the top of the ninth off Glen Perkins to give the Tigers a 3-2 lead over the Twins, Nathan coughed it up by allowing the Twins to score twice. It wasn't all his fault, although he did get the rally started with a one-out walk to Trevor Plouffe. Kurt Suzuki hit a liner to shallow left-center on which Ezequiel Carrera appeared to get a slow read and missed the diving catch. (Would Austin Jackson have made the play?) The winning run then scored with two outs on Aaron Hicks' infield chopper up the middle. Nathan is 4-4 with a 5.10 ERA and seven blown saves. Again, not quite as bad as Lidge, but still the symbol of a shaky Detroit bullpen.
