August 20 in Tigers and mlb history:

1923 - A four-piece bat used by Babe Ruth is banned by American League president Ban Johnson because of the glue used on it. A protest is made against the Browns' Ken Williams for using a bat with a wooden plug in it. Johnson rules that all bats must be one piece with nothing added except tape extending to 18 inches up the handle.

1945: Detroit's Hal Newhouser shuts out the A's, 4 - 0, for his 20th win of the year. Hank Greenberg has his 15-game hitting streak stopped, but Roy Cullenbine and Doc Cramer add home runs.

1962: The Tigers remain three games behind New York by sweeping a pair from the visiting Red Sox 6 - 1 and 7 - 6.

1965: Detroit All-Star SS Dick McAuliffe is lost for the season with a broken bone in his left hand suffered diving into first base, as the 3rd-place Tigers sweep a doubleheader at Boston. The Tigers win 2 - 0 and 3 - 2.

1972: The Angels score nine runs in the 4th inning but Detroit counters with eight runs in the 6th to win the wild affair, 11 - 9. Aurelio Rodriguez touches off the comeback with a double and ends the scoring with another extra base hit, a 3-run homer. In between are six singles and a sac fly.

1980: Tom Brookens, the Tigers' number-8 hitter, goes 5 for 5 with a triple and a home run and also starts a triple play in an 8 - 6 win over Milwaukee.

1986: Tigers Walt Terrell is one out away from a no-hitter when Wally Joyner doubles. Terrell settles for a one-hit 3 - 0 win over the Angels.

2008: The World Umpires Association and Major League Baseball sign an agreement allowing the use of instant replay, with hopes that it will be in place by next August. WUA president John Hirschbeck says he told his members it would be a tool to help make sure they got the calls correct.

2011: After a stint with the AAA Toledo Mud Hens and exactly one month after having been designated for assignment, Brandon Inge is back in the Tigers' line-up and homers in his first at-bat and doubles in a run his next time up as Detroit defeats Cleveland, 10 - 1, increasing its lead in the AL Central to 3 games.

The Tigers are working on a pair of interesting distinctions. Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder have a chance to be the first teammates to start all 162 games since the Rangers' Mark Teixeira and Michael Young in 2006, and Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer have a chance to be the first teammates to strike out 240-plus since Kerry Wood and Mark Prior with the 2003 Cubs. ?
