Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

From Elias Sports Bureau:
TIGERS GET TYING & WINNING HRs IN 9TH

From Elias: Ryan Raburn hit a two-run, game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning on Saturday night, and Miguel Cabrera homered later in the inning to give the Tigers a 9-8 victory over the White Sox. It was the first time this season that a major-league team won a game with a walk-off homer after there had been a game-tying homer earlier in that half-inning. The last instance of it in the majors came on August 29 of last season, when Atlanta's Matt Diaz tied a game against the Marlins before Brian McCann ended it.

The last time that the Tigers won a game with a game-tying homer and a walk-off homer in the same inning came on April 24, 1965. After the Twins had taken a 4-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth, Willie Horton led off with a home run; then, after a couple of walks, pinch-hitter Gates Brown connected for the game-ender off Al Worthington.

TIGERS COMEBACK WIN IS LATEST IN A SERIES

From Elias: The White Sox led the Tigers, 8-1, in the fifth inning of Saturday's game before Detroit came back to win, 9-8. It was the second-largest comeback win that the Tigers have ever had at Comerica Park; on Sept. 27, 2003, they rallied from eight runs down to defeat the Twins, 9-8, thereby avoiding their 120th loss of that season (a total that would have tied the modern major-league record set by the 1962 Mets).

It was the 29th time in team history - an American League-record total - that the Tigers have won a game after trailing by at least seven runs - a trait that started with the team's very first game after the American League attained major-league status in 1901. In that game, played on April 25 of that year, the Tigers trailed the Milwaukee Brewers, 13-4, heading to the bottom of the ninth; but aided by an overflow crowd that encroached on the playing field to the consternation of the Milwaukee outfielders, the Tigers scored 10 runs in the last of the ninth to win, 14-13. (The Milwaukee team moved to St. Louis, becoming the Browns, the following year; the franchise then re-located to Baltimore, becoming the Orioles, in 1954.)

It was against the White Sox on June 18, 1911 that the Tigers set the major-league record for the largest deficit overcome to win a game. The Sox led, 13-1, in the fifth inning, but the Tigers chipped away and won it, 16-15, by scoring three runs in the bottom of the ninth, with Ty Cobb himself scoring the winning run. (Two other major-league teams - the Athletics in 1925 and the Indians in 2001 - have since won games after having trailed by 12 runs, but the Tigers' record has never been bettered.)
 
Detroit Tigers Team Notes

The Tigers today recalled Al Alburquerque from his injury rehab assignment and activated him from the DL.
Alburquerque had been cleared by doctors for a while, but needed to get strength back. This move indicates he is in game shape.

Leyland: "I don't think you'll see Boesch the rest of the season." He may need thumb ligament surgery.
Tigers OF Brennan Boesch will have season-ending surgery on thumb, likely this week.

Tigers Brennan Boesch to have surgery, expected to miss rest of the season.
from the detnews

Boesch tore the ligament in his right thumb in an Aug. 9 at-bat in Cleveland.
He attempted to play through the pain, but he kept re-aggravating the injury in the past month until he no longer could make what he called a "major-league swing" and began to undergo different forms of treatment.
Boesch said the thumb problem has plagued him since his prep career at Harvard-Westlake High School in North Hollywood, Calif. He didn't the know the full extent of the damage prior to this season.
