August 2 in Tigers and mlb history:

1907: Senators rookie Walter Johnson makes his major league debut, losing to the Tigers, 3 - 2. Ty Cobb gets the first hit off the future Hall of Famer with a bunt single.

1929: The A's spot the Tigers six runs in the 1st inning, then rally to win, 11 - 10. Harry Heilmann has four hits, including two homers, for the losers, as do Marty McManus and Dale Alexander. The Tigers outhit the A's, 13-10. The A's victory increases their American League lead to 11 1/2 games over the Yankees

1942: At Detroit, the Tigers sweep a pair from the Red Sox, 8 - 4 and 6 - 2, to knock Boston out of 2nd place. Dizzy Trout wins the opener, helping himself with a 3-run home run. Virgil Trucks wins the nitecap, giving up a 9th-inning home run to Ted Williams. Along with Jim Tabor, CF Dom DiMaggio has a homer in the opener, then adds an unassisted double play in the nitecap.

1959: Jim Bunning of the Tigers pitches the only "perfect" inning of the last four decades, striking out three Red Sox on nine pitches. Bunning wins, 3 - 0. The last American League hurler to strike out the side on nine pitches was Lefty Grove, in 1928.

1964: Detroit P Larry Sherry suffers a fractured left foot when struck by a liner off the bat of Leon Wagner in Cleveland's doubleheader sweep. Sherry will be out for rest of the year.

1972: The Tigers purchase P Woodie Fryman from the Phillies. In two days, the Bengals will purchase C Duke Sims from the Dodgers. Fryman, just 4-10 for Philadelphia, will go 10-3 for Detroit, while Sims will hit .316 in 38 games. The two veterans will spark Detroit to the American League Eastern Division title.

1992 - Rollie Fingers, Bill McGowan, Hal Newhouser and Tom Seaver are inducted in the Hall of Fame.

2014 - The Tigers score in all eight innings in which they come to bat in defeating the Rockies, 11 - 5. The last major league team to do this was the Yankees in 2006. It's a first in Tigers history, at least since 1912, as inning-by-inning scores are not available for all games before that date.
