Detroit Tigers f'd and stifled by umpires, ejections to Jim Leyland, Gene Lamont, in 7-4 loss to Boston Red Sox.
from Mlive

Bill Welke, a Michigan native, is the brother of Tim Welke, an umpire who was at center of a blown call in an April 22 game when he allowed the decisive run to score in the 10th inning of a Tigers loss to Texas, on a bunt which struck batter Alberto Gonzalez in the field of play.

Porcello sporting leg bruise, still on track to start Friday.
Rick Porcello has a good-sized bruise on his left leg from the Joe Mauer comebacker, but that's about the extent of his damage from what he admitted was an interesting Sunday outing. He has no after-effects from catching a cleat and slipping off the mound at Minnesota, either.

Porcello is scheduled to start off the Tigers' upcoming homestand Friday night against the Yankees, and he hopes Sunday's effort was a building block.

"I was able to keep us in the game," he said.
Porcello gave up three runs on nine hits over six innings, with three walks and two strikeouts. It marked his first quality start in four outings. It also marked his best ratio of groundouts (13) to flyouts (10) in five outings since May 1. By comparison, he had twice as many flyouts (12) than groundouts (six) in his previous start at Cleveland last week.

May 29 in Tigers and mlb history:

In using this argument, the court rules that baseball is not subject to antitrust laws nor to standard interstate commerce regulations.

1922: The Browns top Detroit 9 - 6? paced by Ken Williams' grand slam in the 3rd inning. Harry Heilmann and Ty Cobb get into an argument with the umpires and will be suspended? missing tomorrow's twinbill.

1929: Detroit's George Uhle notches his 9th consecutive win of the year? beating the Browns? 7 - 6. Marty McManus has 3 hits? including a home run and double for the Tigers.

1965: Mickey Lolich's 10-inning win is Detroit's 2nd straight two-hit 1 - 0 win against Cleveland.

1987: In the Tigers' 15 - 7 win over the Twins? the two teams combine for 8 homers. Tom Brookens has a grand slam for the winners. Matt Nokes playing DH-C and Pat Sheridan in RF
