Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

August 30 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905 - Making his Major League debut, Ty Cobb doubles off Highlander Jack Chesbro in a 5 - 3 Tiger victory at Detroit's Bennett Park.

1950: The Tigers drop out of first place for the first time since June 10 when they split a pair with the Senators, losing 3 - 2 in 11 innings, then taking the nitecap, 10 - 8.

1968 - In the showdown in Detroit, 53,575 fans cheer as P Earl Wilson pitches a 4-hit 9 - 1 victory over 2nd-place Baltimore. Wilson adds four RBIs on two hits, including his 5th home run of the year. RF Jim Northrup, and 3B Don Wert has 2 rbi.

1995: Tiger teammates Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell tie an American League record by playing in their 1,914th game together, a 10 - 7 loss to the White Sox. The record was set by Kansas City's George Brett and Frank White. The Tigers teammates will finish their great careers playing 1,918 games together.

2002 - After marathon negotiation sessions to avoid a players' strike just hours away, Bud Selig announces the players union and owners have reached a settlement on a new four-year Collective Bargaining Agreement without the need for a work stoppage. The new agreement, called "historic" by the Commissioner, gives the owners the economic restraints they wanted as the players are assured no teams will be contracted until the 2007 season, with a revenue-sharing plan to be gradually implemented during the span of the contract.

Near no-hitter shows Justin Verlander can still dominate, but for how long? from August 27.
SportsIllustrated

Justin Verlander now has 6 career starts in which he didn't allow a hit through 7 innings. Most in MLB this century.

With the shutout, Justin Verlander lowers his ERA in his last 4 starts to 0.31 (1 ER on 12 hits in 29 IP).

Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez are the only active pitchers to lose 2 no-hit bids in the 9th inning.

Active pitchers to throw 4 shutouts allowing 0 hits or 1 hit:
Anibal S?nchez
Matt Cain
Justin Verlander
