July 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1910: Cy Young at age 43, wins his 500th game 5 - 4, over Washington in 11 innings.

1912: Ty Cobb strokes seven hits in a doubleheader to give him a major-league record of 14 in two consecutive twin bills against the Athletics. Bill White will tie Cobb in 1961. Cobb also pummeled the A's for seven hits on the 17th on his way to collecting an incredible 68 hits for the month, a Major League record.

1930: The Detroit Tigers traded cash and a player to be named to Toronto (International) for Guy Cantrell.

1936: 17-year-old Iowa farm boy Bob Feller makes his major league debut, pitching one inning of relief against the Senators in Washington, D.C. The hard-throwing kid allows no hits and no runs, striking out none, and walks two batters.

1950: At Fenway Park Vern Stephens crashes a 3-run home run in the 1st off Fred Hutchinson. Detroit wins 9 - 5, with a little help in the 9th from umpire Jim Boyer. Boyer calls time just before pinch-hitter Tom Wright triples to CF. In his do-over, Wright grounds out.

1977: At Yankee Stadium, the National League scores four times in the opening inning off Jim Palmer, en route to a 7 - 5 All-Star Game victory. Don Sutton, hurling three scoreless innings, is named the game's MVP.

1991: Detroit pounds Kansas City 17 - 0, to give Bill Gullickson an easy win over Tom Gordon. It is the worst loss in franchise history for KC, and a reversal of the match-up of July 14th between the same two starters.
That day, the Royals routed the Bengals, 18 - 4.

1993: The Detroit Tigers released Mark Grater.

2014: The Detroit Tigers released Ronny Paulino.

Verlander seeking continued success vs. royals.
Tigers official site

Verlander has more wins against the Royals than any other team in the majors. He is 23-10 with a 3.19 ERA in 43 career starts against Kansas City.
Some notable Royals against Verlander: Alex Gordon .196 (18 for 92, 3 HRs), Eric Hosmer .268 (22 for 82, 2 HRs), Salvador Perez .414 (24 for 58, 2 HRs).

Hammel is 3-2 with a 3.83 ERA in his last eight starts.
The Tigers have beaten up on Hammel in his career and this season. Hammel has an 8.02 ERA in 33 2/3 career innings against Detroit. In his one start against the Tigers this season, he allowed four runs on four hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Some notable Tigers against Hammel: Justin Upton .216 (8 for 37, 2 HRs), Miguel Cabrera .429 (6 for 14), Ian Kinsler (3 for 6, 1 HR).

Three things to know about this game
As always, Verlander will be careful pitching to Salvador Perez, who has a career .414 average against Verlander with two home runs and 16 RBIs. Another Royal who has had some success against Verlander is rookie Jorge Bonifacio, who is 4-for-7(.571) off him.
Verlander has thrown 21.8 percent of his pitches on the upper edge of the strike zone or above it this season, according to Statcast's detailed zone. That's the fourth-highest rate among pitchers with at least 1,500 total pitches, and opponents have gone 6-for-55 (.109) with 24 strikeouts in those areas.
