June 23 in Tigers history:

1915: For the 5th time this month, and 6th time this year, Ty Cobb steals home, doing it in a 4 - 2 Tiger win over the St. Louis Browns. Cobb scores another run when Sam Crawford hits back to Browns P Grover Lowdermilk, who somersaults after catching the grounder and sits on the mound holding the ball. Cobb scores all the way from second base on the play.

1927: With the help of a 3rd-inning triple play, the Tigers down the White Sox, 6 - 5, in 11 innings. Ted Lyons loses again, to reliever Earl Whitehill.

1940: Bobo Newsom wins his 9th in a row, stopping the Yankees on four hits. The Tigers move to a game and a half in back of the first-place Indians.

1950: Eleven home runs - a major league record - drive in all the runs scored in a 10 - 9 Tiger win over the Yankees before 51,000 Detroit fans. Detroit has four home runs in the 4th inning as Dizzy Trout, Jerry Priddy, Vic Wertz and Hoot Evers connect. Pitcher Trout's home run, off Tommy Byrne, is his second lifetime grand slam. Evers hits another home run, an inside-the-park 2-run game winner in the 9th off Joe Page to win it. For New York, Hank Bauer connects for two homers, including one in the 4th inning. Joe DiMaggio, Jerry Coleman, Yogi Berra and pinch hitter Tommy Henrich also belt round trippers. It is the first time that nine different players connect for homers in a game.

1998: The Athletics acquire IF-OF Bip Roberts from the Tigers in exchange for a player to be named.

Fielder unfazed by boos from Bucs faithful.
When Prince Fielder dug into the batter's box at PNC Park in the first inning of Friday night's game against the Pirates, it was the first time he had done so in a Tigers uniform.

The burly first baseman went 0-for-4 in Detroit's 4-1 loss, and each time he strode to the plate, he was met with a chorus of hearty boos from the Pittsburgh faithful.
He was neither surprised by the boos nor bothered by them.
"I'm frustrated we lost," Fielder said before Saturday's game. "I don't play for myself."

Fielder built up the bad blood by roundly pounding the Pirates during his time with the Brewers. Going into Saturday's game, Fielder was averaging a home run every 13 at-bats against the Bucs, better than anyone else in the league.
Fielder has faced the Pirates 102 times in his career, with a .280 average, 77 RBIs, 14 doubles, one triple and 28 home runs.

One of those homers came earlier this season at Comerica Park. In three games against the Pirates in that May series, Fielder went 5-for-13 with three RBIs.
"I don't play for their team," he said. "They should boo me."

Since 2006 the Tigers are 80-44 in Interleague Play. Their .645 winning percentage ties them with the Angels for the second-best mark across baseball in that stretch.
Only Boston's .661 winning percentage is higher.

Entering Saturday's game, Austin Jackson's .406 on-base percentage is second among American League leadoff hitters. His .317 batting average ranks third, and his .536 slugging percentage ranks fourth.

June 24 in Tigers history:

1950: Art Houtteman pitches Detroit to a 4 - 1 win over the Yankees. Yogi Berra's homer is the only Yankee score, as New York loses its 4th straight and 8th in 12 games. Detroit now leads the American League by three games.

1955 - In an 18 - 7 loss to the Tigers, Senator 18-year old rookie third baseman Harmon Killebrew hits his first major league home run off Billy Hoeft.

1962: A marathon between the Tigers and Yankees concludes in the 22nd inning when Jack Reed's home run - his only one in the big leagues - gives New York and Jim Bouton a 9 - 7 victory. Reed replaced Joe Pepitone in the 13th. For the Tigers, Phil Regan takes the loss and Rocky Colavito has seven hits. Bobby Richardson ties a mark by going to the plate 11 times. At an even seven hours, the game is the slowest extra-inning contest in league history and it is the longest game in innings in Yankee history.

1968 - Detroit RF Jim Northrup becomes the 6th American League player to hit two grand slams in one game, connecting in the 5th inning off Eddie Fisher and in the 6th off Billy Rohr, as the Tigers bomb Cleveland, 14 - 3. Denny McLain is the victor. First baseman Willie Smith pitches the last three innings, walking just one and allowing one hit and no runs. Detroit's Don Wert is taken to the hospital following a 6th inning beaning which shatters his batting helmet. He will miss just a few games.

1984: After missing two starts, Jack Morris (12-3) stops the Brewers, 7 - 1. Ruppert Jones and Lance Parrish hit homers for the Tigers, who have drawn 165,000 fans for the 4-game series with Milwaukee. Detroit now leads the AL East by 8 1/2 games.

1998: The Indians trade OF Geronimo Berroa to the Tigers for P Tim Worrell and minor league OF Dave Roberts.

2000: The Tigers trim the Indians 14 - 8, in the second game of a day-night doubleheader behind OF Bobby Higginson's three home runs and six RBIs. The Indians take the first game.
