August 7 in Tigers and mlb history:

1952 - Umpire Bill McGowan is suspended indefinitely by the American League. In a game in St. Louis, McGowan had thrown out Tiger P Billy Hoeft, who had been heckling him from the dugout. When St. Louis writers, who have had a stormy relationship over the years with the veteran McGowan, ask him to identify the player, the umpire refuses, then adds an obscene gesture. The writers' complaint results in a suspension.

1955 - After a 12-17 record in July, the Yankees are in a 4-team race. Tiger Frank Lary beats New York 4 - 2 in game one, and New York then earns a critical 3 - 2 10th-inning win on a Mickey Mantle homer off Babe Birrer.

1978 - Eddie Mathews, Addie Joss, and Larry MacPhail are inducted at Cooperstown.

1985 - A five-year agreement between the union and owners, which includes salary arbitration eligibility increasing from two years to three years, ends the two-day mid-season players' strike. The season will resume tomorrow.

2002: In a historic move, major league baseball players end their long-held opposition to mandatory drug testing by agreeing to be tested for illegal steroids beginning in 2003.

August 7 in Tigers and mlb history.
 
The Tigers have placed both 3B Nick Castellanos (hand) and P Jordan Zimmermann (neck) on the 15-day disabled list.

Team has recalled both 3B Casey McGehee and reliever Kyle Ryan from Triple A Toledo and is scheduled to place reliever Bruce Rondon on the paternity list on Monday.

Daniel Norris to start on Tuesday. A lot of moving parts for the Tigers right now....

August 8 in Tigers and mlb history:

1903: Furious when an old black ball is put into play when Cleveland is at bat in the last of the 11th and his objections are ignored by umpire Tom Connolly? Naps manager Nap Lajoie hurls the ball over the grandstand? suffering the loss of the game to Detroit by forfeit. Detroit was leading 6 - 5.

1920: Detroit Tigers pitcher Howard Ehmke wins the American League's shortest game ever when he defeats the New York Yankees 1 - 0, in one hour and thirteen minutes. With no outs and two on in the 5th inning? the Yanks fail to capitalize as Ping Bodie falls for the hidden ball trick applied by 2B Ralph Young.

1945 - A line drive of the bat of Hank Greenberg fractures the skull of pitcher Jim Wilson, resulting in two hours of surgery. Wilson will recover and pitch in the majors until 1958.

1991 - The Detroit Tigers fan a team record 21 times in a 14-inning 4 - 0 win over the Blue Jays. Mark Salas hits a 3-run pinch homer off Tom Henke in the top of the 14th. Mickey Tettleton follows one out later with another homer. Starters Bill Gullickson and Tom Candiotti match zeroes for 7 innings.

2001: Tigers P Nate Cornejo makes his major league debut against Rangers P Joaquin Benoit. It is the first time since August 21? 1990? that both starting pitchers are making their big league debuts. The Tigers tie a modern record by scoring 13 runs in the 9th inning to snap a 6 - 6 tie and roll 19 - 6. Damion Easley gets 6 hits? including 2 in the 9th? to tie an American League and team record? last done by Ty Cobb. The winning pitcher is former Ranger Danny Patterson? who faces one batter in the 8th.

2004: The Red Sox defeat the Tigers 11 - 9? despite 7 Detroit home runs. Tim Wakefield records the win for Boston despite tying a major league record by allowing 6 of the homers. Wakefield is the 6th modern pitcher to yield 6 round-trippers? but the first since Philadelphia's George Caster did so 64 years ago against the Red Sox. The last pitcher to give up 6 homers and still win the game was Brooklyn's Hollis Thurston in 1932.

2005: The Tigers defeat the Blue Jays 9 - 8? in 12 innings despite getting outhit 20 to 15. DH Rondell White, and RF Magglio Ordonez both have 2 rbi. SS Carlos Guillen hits a homerun.

2013 - Detroit wins its 12th straight game, 10 - 3 over Cleveland, completing a four-game sweep of its closest rivals in the AL Central. Max Scherzer improves to 17-1. The last pitcher to have such a mark was Roger Clemens in 2001, and only two others, Don Newcombe (1955) and Roy Face (1959), who both had records of 18-1 at one point, have done it since Rube Marquard started the 1912 season 19-0.
