June 21 in Tigers and mlb history:

1936: Detroit Tigers player manager Mickey Cochrane checks out of the hospital and goes to a Wyoming ranch to recover his health.

1938 - Red Sox 3B Pinky Higgins extends his consecutive hit string to 12 with eight hits in a doubleheader split with Detroit. He is 4 for 4 in each game, a Boston win in the opener. Detroit wins the nitecap 5 - 4, with Rudy York catching both games. Tomorrow, Pinky will strike out against Vern Kennedy in his first at-bat, ending the streak.

1958: Frank Lary pitches his third straight shutout, beating the Yankees' Duke Maas 1 - 0. Al Kaline throws out Maas trying to score at the plate and hits his 7th home run to extend his hitting streak to 18 games.

1964: On Father's Day at Shea Stadium, Ex-Tigers pitcher Jim Bunning fans 10, drives in two runs, and pitches the first perfect game (excluding Don Larsen's 1956 World Series effort and Harvey Haddix's 1959 extra-inning loss) since Charlie Robertson's on April 30, 1922. Philadelphia beats the Mets, 6 - 0. Bunning also becomes the first pitcher to win no-hitters in both leagues, and Gus Triandos becomes the first catcher to catch a no-hitter in each league. Bunning throws just 90 pitches in winning his second no-hitter. The next time Bunning faces the Mets he will shut them out.

1969: Willie Horton powers two homers, one a grand slam, and drives in six runs to lead the Tigers to a 9 - 5 win over the visiting Senators. Mickey Lolich (8-1) is the winner, allowing just four hits.

1970 - Cleveland wins the first game against Detroit, but Detroit's Cesar Gutierrez then goes 7 for 7 with six singles and a double to tie a record set in 1892, in a 12-inning 9 - 8 nitecap win. Mickey Stanley's home run wins it for the Tigers. Gutierrez, wearing #7, starts the game hitting .218, and was 0 for 18 before today. Gutierrez will collect just seven hits in all of 1971, and 128 hits for his career.

1988 - With two outs in the 9th inning, Detroit Tigers SS Alan Trammell blasts a grand slam to give the Tigers a 7 - 6 win over the New York Yankees.

1997: The host Detroit Tigers blast the Boston Red Sox, 15 - 4. The Sox, trailing by 12 runs, try OF Darren Bragg at 3B, and put IF Mike Benjamin on the mound for the 9th. Benjamin retires all three batters he faces, the only one of five Sox hurlers to do so.

To clarify, Avila's coming up from Toledo Thurday. Holaday will either stay here, if Laird hits DL, or go to Toledo if he does not.

"You know, I don't think it was a case of bad hitting tonight," Leyland said. "(Westbrook) was terrific. He had a good sinker, good velocity, and went to some breaking stuff later. He was terrific."
BS.
