July 29 in Tigers and mlb history:
1910 - White Sox OF Patsy Dougherty breaks up Detroit's Ed Summers's no-hitter The Tigers and Summers win it 1 - 0. It is the fourth time in his 10-year career that the .284 hitter has ruined someone's no-hitter.
1974 - Detroit hits four home runs in the first inning in an 8 - 2 win over the Indians. Al Kaline, Bill Freehan and Mickey Stanley hit consecutive home runs off Fritz Peterson, and Ed Brinkman adds another later in the inning, off Steve Kline.
1986 - Sparky Anderson, the first manager to win the World Series in each league, also becomes the first manager to win 600 games in both the National and American Leagues when his Tigers beat the Brewers 9 - 5. Sparky will manage the Tigers for 17 years total and become the All-Time winningest manager in the Tigers franchise with 1,331 Wins.
2007: Major League Baseball sets a single-day attendance record as 717,478 fans show up for 17 games. It easily breaks the 640,412 record set on July 3, 1999.
