May 7 in Tigers history:

2011: Justin Verlander pitches the second no-hitter in the majors in less than a week, when the Tigers shut down the Blue Jays 9 - 0. Retiring 22 straight batters, only an 8th-inning walk to J.P. Arencibia, who is then erased in a double play keeps Verlander from a perfect game. Verlander becomes the 28th pitcher in major league history with two no-hitters.

Tigers option Villarreal to call up Fister.
from Jason Beck

The fact that the Tigers sent out Villarreal instead of rookie right-hander Luke Putkonen is a little bit of a surprise, given that Putkonen has only one appearance since the Tigers purchased his contract over a week ago.
