All-Star game vote.

STILL NO TIGERS POISED FOR ALL-STAR START
In the AL's fourth ballot update, 1B Miguel Cabrera remains the closest to earning a starting spot among Detroit players. Still, he's nearly 700,000 votes behind the ballot stuffing Royals' Eric Hoghead Hosmer:
Miguel Cabrera - No. 2 first baseman
Ian Kinsler - No. 5 second baseman
Nick Castellanos - No. 5 third baseman
Victor Martinez - No. 4 designated hitter
J.D. Martinez (on DL) - No. 15 outfielder

Outfielder Justin Upton Finally Enjoying Big Moments with Detroit Tigers in June.

ARE JUSTIN UPTON'S STRUGGLES BEHIND HIM?
Upton has been much better at the plate this month, homering five times -- including twice on Monday -- compared to three times between April and May.

Justin Upton is heating up. Upton was the guy who broke the Mariners' hearts with his game-winning home run, his second of the game and his fourth career walk-off blast. He had three home runs and 11 RBIs entering June but now has four homers in four games and 20 RBIs this month. His strikeout rate has dropped from 38 percent in April to 35 percent in May to 25 percent in June. Hey, good things can happen when you make more contact!

June 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1909: The Detroit Tigers Baseball Club buys the rest of the vacant Bennett Field grounds as the site for a new ball park.

1912: Ty Cobb gets pinch hit for in an unusual scenario. With two outs in the 9th, and the Tigers down 11 - 3, Cobb is nowhere to be found, and George Mullin substitutes and flies out to end the game. It turns out Cobb is in the clubhouse showering.

1934 - Detroit takes over first place, beating Washington, 11 - 3, dislodging the Yankees who lose, 4 - 1, to Cleveland.

2009: Donald Fehr announces his retirement as head of the Major League Baseball Players Association after 25 years. He was in charge during the 1994 strike and the relative labor peace that followed. His resignation will be effective in March 2010, when the union's general counsel, Michael Weiner, takes over.

2013 - Max Scherzer improves his record to 11-0 with a 10 - 3 Tigers win over the Red Sox. Roger Clemens, in 1997, was the last pitcher to reach that mark.
