June 7 in Tigers and mlb history:

1908 - The Detroit Tigers turn a triple play against the Boston Red Sox for the second day in a row, but Boston wins. The two tri-killings in two games is a unique major league record.

2004 - The Tigers draft Justin Verlander in the first round of the amateur draft. A pitcher from Old Dominion, Verlander signs a deal with the Tigers in October and makes his first big league start the following July. By 2006 Verlander is contributing to the Tigers and helping them to the American League pennant. Verlander had a year for the ages in 2011 with a 24 and 5 record, while leading the league in Strikeouts, earned run average, and several other pitching categories.
