September 15 in Tigers history:

1901: The Detroit Tigers roll over Cleveland behind Ed Siever with what was the most lopsided score in American League history 21 - 0 -- (equaled on August 13, 1939) -- until the Cleveland Indians beat the New York Yankees 22 - 0 on August 31, 2004 at Yankee Stadium. Detroit pounds out 24 hits off rookie Jack Bracken as Pop Dillon leads the way with four hits. The game is mercifully called after 7 1/2 innings to allow Cleveland to catch a train. Bracken's ERA is not helped by this outing and he will end this season, his only one in the majors, with a 6.21 mark, the highest in the deadball era.

1950: For a ML-record sixth time, Johnny Mize hits three home runs in one game, but the Yankees lose 9 - 7 at Detroit. Mize matches Babe Ruth's mark of doing it in both leagues, but the Babe only had two three-homer games. With the victory, the Tigers recapture first place from New York.

1952: In a Cold War move, the Russians decry the American game of baseball by citing their own game of "lapka" as being the progenitor of baseball. They call American players "slaves." The State Department links the Soviet claim as the founders of baseball as part of its "Hate America" campaign.

1961: The Yankees set a new American League record for most homers in a season as they split a doubleheader in Detroit, winning 11 - 1 and losing 4 - 2. Circuit blows by Bill Skowron and Yogi Berra in the opener help Whitey Ford win his 24th and increase New York's homer total to 222. This breaks the old mark set by the 1947 Giants and tied by the 1956 Reds. Norm Cash and Steve Boros homer in the nitecap to back Ron Kline's 7-hitter.

1969: Denny McLain records his 9th shutout, a Tiger record, beating New York, 2 - 0 at Yankee Stadium.

2000: The Tigers outlast the Red Sox, 7 - 6. The two teams combine to use a league record-tying 42 players in the contest.

Leyland focused on pennant race, not 2013 contract.
Of all the buzz about Jim Leyland's future as Tigers manager, one voice that hasn't been heard is Leyland's. That's by design.
Leyland hasn't gone in depth on many questions about the team in general for next year, but with the impetus on winning now, not many such questions have come up. When the query about his own status for next year came up Saturday, Leyland shrugged it off.
"There's no sense in asking," Leyland said, "because I won't talk about it. I don't want to talk about me. We're in a pennant race. I don't want to be a distraction."

Leyland is finishing out a one-year contract he signed last August. At the time, Leyland said he was comfortable going year-to-year on his contract, much like his good friend Tony La Russa did during his final years in St. Louis. But Leyland was saying that with his status decided before the stretch run.
As the Tigers head into the final 2 1/2 weeks of the season, it's becoming increasingly apparent that Leyland's status probably won't be addressed until season's end. It has been widely assumed that how the Tigers finish will play a major factor in Leyland's future with the team.
"I don't think about that," Leyland said. "I'm thinking about beating the Cleveland Indians. That [contract] stuff will take care of itself."
