September 21 in Tigers and mlb history:

1908: Detroit takes two at St. Louis. With two weeks to go, 3 1/2 games separate four teams.

1922 - The American League reinstates the MVP award, last given in 1914, appointing a committee of one writer from each city, headed by I.E. Sanborn of the Chicago Tribune. As a player-manager, Ty Cobb is not eligible, and the trophy goes to George Sisler. The National League will pick up the idea two years later.

1935: The Detroit Tigers clinch the pennant with a double win over the St. Louis Browns, winning 6 - 2 and 2 - 0. Elden Auker wins the nitecap with a complete game shutout, while Tommy Bridges takes the opener. The Tigers will coast the rest of the way, going 1-6, while the Yankees go 6-1.

1940 - With the Tigers, Indians, and Yankees neck-and-neck, the Tigers boost their lead to 2 games, as Schoolboy Rowe shuts out Cleveland, 5 - 0. Rowe, seemingly washed up after anchoring the staff through Tiger championships in the mid-1930s, will finish at 16-3.

1972: The American League East is in a virtual tie as Detroit's Joe Coleman posts his 18th win, a critical 10 - 3 defeat of first-place Boston. Coleman strikes out 10 and knocks in three runs.

Matchup:

Chicago White Sox (70-78) vs. Detroit Tigers (69-79).

Time/TV/radio: First of a four-game series and day-night doubleheader, 1:08 p.m., Comerica Park, FSD, WXYT-FM (97.1; click here for radio affiliates).

First-pitch weather forecast: Sunny, 69 degrees, 0% chance of rain (hour-by-hour updates).

Scheduled starting pitchers: RHP Jeff Samardzjia (9-13, 5.27 ERA) vs. LHP Kyle Ryan (2-3, 5.32 ERA).

The lineup: To be posted later today.

It's a bit odd to have a non-holiday Monday afternoon game at this point of the season. But Game 1 of 2 today is a makeup from the June 27 rainout. Both teams bring plenty of disappointment into this series as many expected Chicago and Detroit to challenge for the AL Central Division. Alas, they are battling to stay out of the division basement. Ryan comes out of the bullpen to start this afternoon. It's just his seventh start of the year, but he pitched well in a start against Chicago on June 5, giving up just two earned runs on three hits over seven innings.
