Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Tigers rotation for ALCS is official. Doug Fister will pitch Game 1, followed by Sanchez, Verlander, then Scherzer.
 
October 13 in Tigers history:

1984 - A pair of two-run home runs by Alan Trammell of the Detroit Tigers provide all the scoring as pitcher Jack Morris beats the San Diego Padres, 4 - 2, in Game Four of the World Series. The Tigers are now just one win away from the title.

2006 - The Tigers defeat Oakland, 3 - 0, in Game 3 of the ALCS, with Kenny Rogers picking up the win. In the game, Mark Kiger makes his major league debut as a defensive substitute for the A's, becoming the first player to make his debut in the post-season since Bug Holliday in 1885.

2011: The Detroit Tigers turn to their ace, Justin Verlander, to stave off elimination in the ALCS. He limits the Texas Rangers' bats to 2 runs through seven innings, then tires and leaves in the 8th having thrown a career-high 133 pitches. With the Bengals' bullpen aces too tired to pitch, Phil Coke takes over and gets the last five outs, even though the Rangers manage to pull back 3 runs over the last two frames. Still, the Tigers had built a big lead against C.J. Wilson, with four home runs - two by Delmon Young and one each by Alex Avila and Ryan Raburn - and hang on for a 7 - 5 win.
