Detnews

Collins has been in a deep funk, both offensively and in the field.
In his last 20 games, including a three-strikeout performance in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the White Sox in Game 1 of a doubleheader,
Collins is 5-for-61 (0.81) with 30 strikeouts. He followed an 0-for-30 skid with a 2-for-26 slide and is hitting .200 on the season.
 
May 28 in Tigers and mlb history:

1930: Grover Cleveland Alexander of the Philadelphia Phillies makes his last major league appearance, giving up two hits and two runs in relief in the Boston Braves' 5 - 1 victory. The Phillies release the 43-year-old veteran a few hours after the game.
In a 20-season career, Alexander posted a 373-208 record with 2,198 strikeouts and a 2.56 ERA. He will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1938.

1951: After going 0 for 12 since his debut, Giants rookie Willie Mays gets his first hit, a 450-foot home run off Braves left-hander Warren Spahn.

1956: Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Dale Long hits a home run in his eighth consecutive game, setting a major league record. This mark will be later tied by Don Mattingly and Ken Griffey, Jr.

1957: With a unanimous vote, National League owners grant permission to both the Dodgers and Giants to relocate their clubs to the West Coast if they so desire.

1959: The Milwaukee Braves traded Earl Hersh and Joe Lonnett to the Detroit Tigers for Alfred Paschal (minors) and Charlie Lau.
Alfred Paschal (minors), Earl Hersh and Charlie Lau returned to original teams on May 28, 1959. Joe Lonnett refused to report to his new team.

1968: American League owners agree to divide the circuit into two divisions and reduce its schedule to 156 games. The following divisional alignment is set for the 1969 season: Eastern Division: Baltimore Orioles,Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees,Washington Senators. Western Division: California Angels, Chicago White Sox, Kansas City Royals, Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics, Seattle Pilots.

1971: The Detroit Tigers released Dave Boswell.

1980: The Detroit Tigers purchased Mike Macha from the Toronto Blue Jays.

1982: Lou Whitaker has the first of nine career multi-home run games.

1990: The Detroit Tigers signed Jody Davis as a free agent.

1995: At Tiger Stadium, the Chicago White Sox (five) and Detroit Tigers (seven) combine to set a major-league record 12 home runs, with Chicago winning the 14 - 12 slugfest.

2010: The Tigers fail to take advantage of a three-home run performance by Miguel Cabrera, falling, 5 - 4, to Ben Sheets and the Oakland Athletics. Reliever Ryan Perry is the loser.

Zim looking to bounce back in series finale.
Tigers official site

The Tigers' offense has been quiet since arriving in Chicago, in part because Detroit has struggled to make contact.
The Tigers struck out a combined 42 times through the first three games of the series, including eight times in the final three innings of Saturday's first game.

The offensive struggles have also applied when the Tigers have been able to get men on base, as they stranded 32 runners through the series' first three games.
The first leg of Saturday's doubleheader saw the Tigers walk nine times while still being shut out, the second-largest figure in franchise history and highest total since June 19, 1977.
The Tigers had the bases loaded in each of the first three games of the series, and didn't produce any runs until Saturday's two-run seventh inning.
