May 13 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911: Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers hits his first grand slam. After six innings, Detroit leads the Boston Red Sox, 10 - 1. Boston comes back to win the game, 13 - 11 in 10 innings.

1955 - At Yankee Stadium, Mickey Mantle hits home runs from both sides of the plate for the first time in his major league career. The New York Yankees slugger finishes the game with three home runs - two left-handed and one right-handed - and drives in all of his team's runs in a 5 - 2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Whitey Ford is the winning pitcher and Steve Gromek the loser.

1958: Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals collects his 3,000th career hit with a pinch double off Chicago Cubs pitcher Moe Drabowsky at Wrigley Field. The Cardinals win.

1993 - George Brett of the Kansas City Royals hits his 300th career home run in the 6th inning of a 7 - 3 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Brett is only the 6th major league player with at least 3,000 hits and 300 home runs.

2011: Justin Verlander does his best Johnny Vander Meer imitation in his first start since pitching the second no-hitter of his career on May 8th, but comes up short. The Tigers ace is still masterful, though, keeping the Royals hitless until Melky Cabrera's two-out triple in the 6th. He ends up allowing two hits in 8 innings in a 3 - 1 win.
