May 13 in Tigers history;
1911: Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers hits his first grand slam. After six innings, Detroit leads the Boston Red Sox, 10 - 1. Boston comes back to win the game in 10 innings.
2011: Justin Verlander does his best Johnny Vander Meer imitation in his first start since pitching the second no-hitter of his career on May 8, but comes up short. The Tigers ace is still masterful, though, keeping the Royals hitless until Melky Cabrera's two-out triple in the 6th. He ends up allowing two hits in 8 innings in a 3 - 1 win.
