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

J.D. Martinez was considered for AL Player of the Week, according to MLB release, but the award goes to Yankees rookie catcher Gary Sanchez.
 
JUSTIN UPTON COMES UP CLUTCH TWICE.
Upton hit a pair of three-run home runs, both coming with two outs, in the Tigers' win on Sunday.
He's the first Detroit player to do that twice in the same game in over 24 years, since Cecil Fielder did it against the Indians on July 31, 1992, per the Elias Sports Bureau.
 
August 23 in Tigers and mlb history:

1916: Ty Cobb goes from first to third on a teammate's single to LF, then swipes home when A's 3B Charlie Pick holds the ball. Detroit wins 10 - 3.

1962: Steve Boros matches the American League record for most errors in an inning by a 3B with 4, but Detroit beats Cleveland 8 - 5 as Al Kaline hits two home runs.
