Detroit Tigers Team Notes
September 7 in Tigers history :
1950 - Tiger OF Hoot Evers hits for the cycle, adds another triple, and knocks in six runs in a 13 - 13, ten-inning tie with Cleveland. The game, ended because of darkness, leaves Detroit in first place by a few percentage points ahead of New York. Al Rosen and Bob Feller both hit early 2-run homers as the Indians blow three leads in the game.
1971: Jim Northrup goes 5 for 5 with two home runs in a 3 - 2 eleven inning Tigers win over Washington.
1984: Down 4 - 0 in the 8th, the Tigers score four runs - three on a homer by Kirk Gibson - to tie the Blue Jays in Toronto. In the 10th, Dave Bergman cracks a 3-run homer and the Tigers win 7 - 4. Willie Hernandez (9-2) wins with three innings of shutout relief.
1993: Detroit C Chad Kreuter homers from both sides of the plate in the Tigers' 10 - 6 win over California. He is the second Tiger this year to perform the feat, joining Mickey Tettleton, who did so on May 7.
2002: The Tigers defeat the Yankees, 2 - 1. Detroit 1B Eric Munson hits a home run in his first ML at bat.
2007: Curtis Granderson of the Tigers hits his 20th home run. That gives him 20 or more doubles, triples, home runs and stolen bases. The only prior players to do that in major league history were Frank Schulte (1911) and Willie Mays (1957). He will be joined by the Phillies' Jimmy Rollins in a few days.
