Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Verlander became the first Detroit pitcher to win 10 consecutive decisions since Jack Morris in 1983, and the first to win 10 straight starts since Hall of Famer Hal Newhouser in 1946. His 22 wins are the most for a Detroit pitcher since Joe Coleman went 23-15 in 1973.

Verlander has thrown at least six innings and 100 pitches in all 31 starts this season.

Jose Valverde pitched a perfect ninth for his 42nd save, tying the team record sent by Todd Jones in 2000.

Victor Martinez went 5 for 13 with two homers and 10 RBIs in a three-game sweep against his former team as Detroit dropped Cleveland 9 1/2 games back in the AL Central. The Tigers are 16-4 since Aug. 19, going 6-0 against the Indians and sweeping three straight from the Chicago White Sox to take command of the division.

Martinez, Cabrera and Alex Avila each had two of Detroit

Jose Valverde continues to lock down saves.
Closer's care-free mentality amuses Detroit teammates .
from the Tigers official site

Valverde has yet to blow a save this season for a Tigers franchise record, and puts him halfway to Eric Gagne's Major League record of 84 consecutive saves converted.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

September 8 in Tigers history :

1922: Detroit beats the Browns 8 - 3, on Bobby Veach's two homers off Urban Shocker. First baseman Lu Blue pulls off two unassisted double plays, tying the American League record, and both are off line drives by Johnny Tobin.

1935: In the second game of a twinbill, the A's Jimmie Foxx doubles in the 8th to break up Elden Auker's no-hit bid. Detroit rolls 15 - 1 collecting 20 hits. Foxx has a pair of homers in the opener, again in vain, as the Tigers win 7 - 5. Mickey Cochrane has three hits in each game for Detroit.

1967: The Tigers move into a first-place tie with the Twins, as Eddie Mathews and Jim Northrup hit home runs, and Mickey Lolich beats Tommy John 4 - 1 at Chicago.

1972: Mickey Lolich wins his 20th game of the year as Detroit tips the Orioles 4 - 3. The Tigers jump on Jim Palmer (18-8) for three runs in the 1st inning.

1995: The Tigers trade IF Juan Samuel to the Royals in exchange for a player to be named.

2008: Gary Sheffield hits a grand slam for the official 250,000th homer in MLB history. The blow is Sheffield's 2nd homer of the day and his 13th career grand slam. Magglio Ordonez, Miguel Cabrera and Mike Hessman also homer as the Tigers outslug the A's 14 - 8.
