May 23 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911: Detroit beats Washington's Walter Johnson? 9 - 8. Detroit loads the bases in the 8th inning for Ty Cobb? already 3 for 4 with 3 stolen bases? and Johnson? in relief of Dolly Gray? walks him to force in what will be the winning run.

1961: Norm Cash? Steve Boros? and Dick Brown hit consecutive homers for the Tigers in a 5 - 2 win over Minnesota.

1969: Mickey Lolich sets a Detroit record with 16 strikeouts while defeating Andy Messersmith and the Angels, 6 - 3. Mickey Stanley's grand slam is the difference. Lolich's mark breaks the record of 15 set by Paul Foytack in 1956.

1971 - With 53?337 on hand, Mickey Lolich and Les Cain? with 3 innings from Joe Niekro? notch shutouts as the Tigers sweep a doubleheader from the Senators, 5 - 0 and 11 - 0. The loser in the opener is Denny McLain? making his first appearance in Detroit since being traded. Al Kaline and Norm Cash each hit two-run homers off Denny? with Cash adding another pair? one with the sacks full? in the nitecap.

1980: Five hours after the midnight deadline, Major League players and owners avert a strike by announcing a new four-year basic agreement. The new deal raises the minimum salary from $21,000 to $30,000 and increases the clubs' contributions to the players' pension fund, but the major issue of free agent compensation remains unresolved.

1984: At Anaheim? 41?205 watch as Dan Petry and the Tigers clip the Angels? 4 - 2? to run Detroit's record to 34-5. Detroit has now won 16 straight on the road to tie the American League record of the 1912 Senators. The win goes to Petry. The losing pitcher is reliever Frank LaCorte? who takes his last major league loss when he gives up a two-run homer in the 7th to Lance Parrish.

Tigers Notebook: Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson remains on the mend.
from the detnews

"He grinds out all his at-bats," Leyland said about Boesch's determination to get past his early woes. "He gives you everything he's got. He's always ready, always into it.
"He'll make an easy out once in a while and chase a bad pitch once in a while, but he'll be all right."

You got to be kidding....grinds out at-bats??? Boesch?? is Leyland on drugs or smoking something besides marlboros. Boesch, 4 at bats, 7/8 pitches.

If Jackson isn?t ready by then, they could put him on the 15-day disabled list, backdate the move eight days to his original injury last Wednesday, and then potentially just lose him for another week.
