Detroit Tigers Gameday: Will Matt Boyd stay sharp against Twins?
Mlive

Matt Boyd has been very good since joining the Tigers' starting rotation in July. In seven starts and one relief appearance since, he's 4-0 with a 2.06 ERA.

Tyler Duffey is 2-1 with a 4.32 ERA in his past three starts.

J.D. Martinez has a 13-game hitting streak, during which he's hit .453 with five homers and 10 RBIs.

On unwanted day off, Ian Kinsler focusing on mechanics, pitch selection.
Mlive

Ausmus ultimately decided to overrule Kinsler and give him a day off on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins. This won't be an extended layoff like the one given to left fielder Justin Upton last week. But, as with Upton, Aumsus is trying to jolt Kinsler out of a slump.

"He wants to be in there. I told him to take the day," Ausmus said. "I don't even care if he touches a bat today."

After going 0-for-5 Tuesday night, Kinsler is hitless in his last 15 at-bats. Going back further, he is 1-for-29 and, over 13 games, 5-for-51. His batting average has dropped 20 points, from .295 to .275.

But his slump might be less serious than Upton's because Kinsler has struck out so rarely. Kinsler is putting balls in play, just getting fewer hits.
Part of the reason is hitting too many pop ups and fly balls and not enough line drives.

When will Jordan Zimmermann and Mike Pelfrey be back? A rehab timeline.
Mlive

Zimmermann will make his first rehabilitation start at Triple-A Toledo on Friday. If he makes two more rehab starts after that, which is the current plan, he'll be ready to start in Detroit on Sept. 10.

Pelfrey, who threw a simulated game Wednesday at Target Field, is on the same track, just a few days behind. His speculative return to Detroit would be on Sept. 13.

(Toledo's season ends on Sept. 5, but rehab starts could also be taken at Class A West Michigan, even in the Midwest League playoffs).

August 25 in Tigers and mlb history:

1913: Ty Cobb swipes home in the 5th inning to help the Tigers edge the Senators 6 - 5.

1930 - Tommy Bridges walks 12 Brownies, but Detroit still beats St. Louis 7 - 5.

1934 - Schoolboy Rowe, Detroit's sensational rookie P, defeats the Senators 4 - 2, for his 16th win in a row tying the American League record held by Walter Johnson, Joe Wood, and Lefty Grove.

1945 - The Tigers' Joe Hoover will swipe only 19 bases in his career, but the most valuable one comes today. On the front end of a 3rd-inning double steal, Hoover steals home against the Browns for the game's only run.

1952: Tiger Virgil Trucks (5-14) throws the second of his two no-hitters this season blanking the Yankees 1 - 0. Phil Rizzuto's third inning at-bat is quickly scored as an error but is changed to a hit only to be reversed again in the sixth inning making the no-hitter a bit controversial.

1961: Jim Bunning (15-9) allows just two hits while blanking the Senators 6 - 0, in a game called after eight innings because of rain. The win keeps the Tigers two games ahead of the Yankees.

1966: The owners approve a 55 percent raise in contributions to the players' pension fund. It will come from television, World Series, and All-Star Game money. Some money will also go to pay the salary of the Players' Association executive director.

1968: The Tigers ahead 5 - 0 fail to score with two on in the 4th inning when the Yanks bring in Rocky Colavito to pitch. The 35-year-old slugger retires Al Kaline and Willie Horton and tosses 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief to earn the win. In Rocky's only other appearance in 1958, he also faced Kaline, and the victory by a non-pitcher will be the last this century. Bill Robinson and Bobby Cox crash successive homers to tie the score and, after a walk, Rocky comes around to score the winning run. In the 8th Yankees reliever Lindy McDaniel ties the American League record for consecutive batters retired by setting down the first Tiger he faces, giving him 32 straight batters retired over four appearances. New York sweeps, winning 6 - 5 and then topping Mickey Lolich 5 - 4. The four losses in New York leaves the Tigers just five games ahead of the Orioles.

1978: Major League umpires stage a one-day strike in defiance of their contract, in order to gain recognition for their union as their bargaining agent with Major League Baseball. Semipro and amateur umps are pressed into service until a restraining order forces the strikers to return. The umpires will walk out again at the beginning of the 1979 season.
