Rangers 5 - Tigers 3: Lackluster effort can’t stop streaking Texas.
Daniel Norris wasn’t any good either.

May 20 in Tigers and mlb history:

1912: The Detroit Tigers currently are on strike to protest the suspension of Ty Cobb for attacking a fan. Today, American League President Ban Johnson threatens all the Tiger players with lifetime suspensions if they don?t return to play. In reply, Cobb asks his teammates to end their strike.

1921: Hal Newhouser is born in Detroit, Michigan. In 1939, Newhouser will make his major league debut for his hometown team, the Detroit Tigers. A left-handed pitcher, he will win 207 games over a 17-year career and will gain Hall of Fame honors in 1992.

1947: The Detroit Tigers traded Birdie Tebbetts to the Boston Red Sox for Hal Wagner.

1959: The Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 13 - 6, to put New York in last place for the first time in 19 years.

1971: Martin Dihigo dies in Cienfuegos, Cuba, at the age of 65. Over the course of his career, Dihigo made seamless transitions between all nine positions and played in several countries. As a hitter, he won both batting average and home run titles; as a pitcher, he won more than 250 games and once defeated Satchel Paige while touring Cuba. He will be elected to the American Hall of Fame in 1977 and also was or will be voted into the Cuban, Mexican and Latin American Baseball Hall of Fame.

1983: Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Steve Carlton passes Walter Johnson to move into second place on the all-timestrikeout list. Carlton's four strikeouts put him at 3,511, just 10 behind Nolan Ryan of the Houston Astros. Ryan had bettered Johnson's record earlier in the month.

2012: Max Scherzer strikes out 15 batters in 7 innings to lead the Tigers to a 4 - 3 win over the Pirates. The strikeouts are one shy of the club record of 16, held by Mickey Lolich, and are the highest total in the major leagues so far this season.

2012: Mike Hessman of the Toledo Mud Hens connects for his 400th minor league homer, against Scott Diamond of the Rochester Red Wings in an International League contest.
Hessman is only the 8th player to reach the mark, and the 4th to do it entirely in U.S.-based leagues, as the top four minor league home run hitters of all time all spent the bulk of their career in Mexico.

Tigers today: Justin Verlander trying to snap Rangers' 10-game streak.
Mlive

Notable
The Texas Rangers have now won 10 in a row, the fourth-longest streak in club history and the longest since 2010.
The Rangers have a seven-game winning streak at Comerica Park dating back to Aug. 21, 2015. They've also won nine of their last ten games here. During that span, they've outscored the Tigers 63-27.

On Thursday, J.D. Martinez and Victor Martinez both hit home runs against the Orioles, a feat they've now accomplished 16 times. Only two pairs of teammates who shared the same last name have done so more often: Andruw and Chipper Jones (59 times), and Brooks and Frank Robinson (24 times).

Justin Verlander has faced Shin-Soo Choo more often than any other batter on the Rangers and has held him to a .224 average (13-for-58). Choo has two home runs but has struck out 24 times.
Mike Napoli has fared better, going 11-for-38 with three home runs.
Rougned Odor (0-for-11) is still looking for his first career hit against Verlander.

Griffin has generally fared well against Tigers hitters, although the big exception is Miguel Cabrera, who is expected to return today. Cabrera is 6-for-14 with two home runs in his career against Griffin.
