April 30 in Tigers and mlb history:
1922 - Charlie Robertson of the Chicago White Sox pitches a 2 - 0 perfect game against the Detroit Tigers.
1946 - Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians strikes out 11 and pitches his second of three career no-hitters, his first since returning from a three-and-a-half year stint in World War II. Feller defeats the New York Yankees, 1 - 0.
1952 - Ted Williams plays his final game before leaving for military duty inKorea. In his last at-bat on "Ted Williams Day" at Fenway Park, he blasts a game-winning, two-run home run against Dizzy Trout of the Detroit Tigers. The home run gives the Red Sox a 5 - 3 victory.
1967 - Steve Barber and Stu Miller of the Baltimore Orioles combine on a no-hitter, but still lose the game to the Detroit Tigers, 2 - 1. A wild Barber gives up 10 walks in eight and one-third innings before giving way to Miller, who pitches one-third of an inning.
2005: Major league players are asked by Commissioner Bud Selig to agree to a 50-game suspension for the first offense, a 100-game suspension for the second offense and a lifelong ban after the third offense for the use of steroids. In addition to the harsher "three-strike" rule, the commissioner is also seeking a ban on amphetamines.
2010: Scott Sizemore and Brennan Boesch both hit their first major league home run in the 4th inning as Detroit beats theAngels, 10 - 6. Another rookie, Austin Jackson, goes 5 for 5 for Detroit. Sizemore's dinger follows one by Gerald Laird, while Boesch's is a grand slam during the 8-run inning.
