May 2 in Tigers and mlb history:

1909: Honus Wagner steals his way around the bases in the 1st inning of a game against the Cubs. It is the fourth time he steals second base, third and home in a same inning, a National League record. The record holder in the American League is Ty Cobb, who will pull the trick four times between 1909 and 1924. No player in major league history has ever accomplished this feat in each league, and only two more have accomplished the feat twice during their careers: Max Carey (NL) and Jackie Tavener (AL).

1920: The first game in the history of the Negro National League is played. The Indianapolis ABCs host the Chicago American Giants, managed by Rube Foster. The ABCs, featuring Oscar Charleston, win the game 4 - 2.

1923: Walter Johnson records his first shutout of the season and the 100th of his major league record 113 career shutouts as the Washington Senators defeat the New York Yankees, 3 - 0. Yankees shortstop Everett Scott receives a medal from the American League for playing in his 1,000th consecutive game.

1939: Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees does not play against the Detroit Tigers at Briggs Stadium, ending at 2,130 his streak of consecutive games played. An ailing Gehrig removes himself from the lineup, telling his manager Joe McCarthy that he cannot play because of continuing weakness. Doctors will later diagnose Gehrig with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a fatal disease that affects the muscles. Gehrig will never play again.

1943: Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Schoolboy Rowe pinch hits with the bases loaded in the 6th inning and cracks a grand slam off the Boston Braves' Al Javery to break a tie. The Phillies win, 6 - 5, but it takes them 12 innings. For Rowe, it is his second career grand slam. He hit one in 1939 while with Detroit, as he is the only pitcher in major league history to hit a grand slam in each league. Rowe will finish the season with a .306 batting average as a pinch hitter.

1959: The Detroit Tigers traded Billy Hoeft to the Boston Red Sox for Ted Lepcio and Dave Sisler.

1997: The Detroit Tigers selected Kevin Jarvis off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds.

2013: The Detroit Tigers released John Lindsey.

2013: The Tigers score four times in the 13th inning to defeat the Astros, 7 - 3. Austin Jackson leads off the inning with a double off Dallas Keuchel and takes third on a ground out; Astros manager Bo Porter orders that sluggers Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder be issued intentional Walks, but light-hitting Don Kelly comes through with a single to open the floodgates; Matt Tuiasosopo follows with a two-run double. Luke Putkonen, called up from AAA earlier in the day, earns his first big league win for Detroit.

2014: The Detroit Tigers signed Joel Hanrahan as a free agent.
