May 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1906 - Rube Waddell's no-hitter is broken up by Ty Cobb's bunt single.

1963 - Bill Bruton of the Detroit Tigers ties a major league record by collecting four doubles in one game. Curiously, Bruton will total only 21 doubles on the season.

1968 - After hitting 10 home runs in six consecutive games, establishing a new major league record, Frank Howard of the Washington Senators is stopped by Detroit Tigers pitcher Earl Wilson, who defeats the Senators, 5 - 4 in the first game of a doubleheader.
In the second game, Al Kaline hits a two-run homer off Washington's Steve Jones to become the Tigers' all-time home run leader surpassing Hank Greenberg. Detroit wins 7 - 0, completing a sweep.
1968 - Al Kaline breaks the Tigers all-time home run record when he belts his 307th. Kaline hits the homer when he pinch-hits for Gates Brown in the sixth inning, surpassing Hank Greenberg’s franchise mark.

1979 - After a bitter six-week strike, the major league umpires return to work. During the work stoppage, the men in blue were replaced by amateur and minor league arbiters.

Curve helps Verlander nearly make history.

from espn

hitters were 3-36 (.083) with 21 strikeouts this season after being down 0-2 to Verlander. It was the only hit he allowed.
Verlander joins an exclusive club of pitchers to throw shutouts allowing one hit or fewer with at least 12 strikeouts in interleague play. The only other time it was done? In 2007, by Justin Verlander.
According to Elias, Verlander is only the second Tigers pitcher to toss a shutout in which he gave up no more than one hit and fanned 12 or more hitters. Hall of Famer Jim Bunning did it for Detroit against the Boston Red Sox in 1958.

@Tigers 6, Pirates 0: Conditions were good for a Verlander no-hit bid ? he was at home, where his opponents have a .226 career BA (.240 away); Pittsburgh came in hitting .221; and just like last year?s May no-no, Detroit was scuffling along a couple of games under .500. He could smell it in the 8th, when he whiffed the side with a some 99-mph readings. But with 2 outs to go and a 1-2 count, Josh Harrison ? the Pirate least likely to strike out this year ? broke it up with a fine defensive swing.
Verlander fanned 12. Harrison was the only one he never got.
He didn?t get a Tigers-record 3rd no-hitter, but he did tie his career best with a 95 Game Score set in his 2007 no-hitter.
