Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Tigers win with another walk-off: this time Brandon Inge hits 2-out HR to LF in bottom of ninth...Tigers win 8th straight 3-2 over Twins.

Tigers continue to amaze....third walk-off HR in last 8 home games....18th win in last 22 games, Magic number drops to 9.

Inge had 2HR this year...he was facing Glen Perkins, who had allowed just 1HR in 56IP....HR was no-doubter, just inside LF foul pole.

Good pitching duel between Scherzer and Swarzak: Swarzak was tough thru 6IP, Scherzer struggled w/ command/location at times, but went 7 strong inninngs.

Tigers scored on Betemit HR in 3rd, and Martinez 2-out RBI single in 4th.

Tigers made several superb defensive plays: Scherzer picked off runner at 1B w/ runners at the corners, none out in 2nd...Twins didn't score.

Jackson made a great running catching - on a dead sprint to deep CF - on Valencia Sac Fly in 6th, taking away a double or triple, and a run.

Santiago made a fine play on soft groundball off Revere's bat to just get him at first leading off 8th.

Coke worked a scoreless 8th - got 3 easy groundball outs...and Alburquerque worked 1-2-3 9th (w/ 2Ks) to get the win.

Tigers now 13-4 vs. Twins this year...go for sweep sunday afternoon before 9 game road trip.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

September 11 in Tigers and mlb history :

1984 - At Baltimore, the Tigers cut their magic number to seven with a 9 - 2 clipping of the Orioles. Darrell Evans has four hits including a homer. Larry Herndon follows Evans' homer with one of his own, while Kirk Gibson has three hits and his 27th steal. Dan Petry wins his 17th. The Tigers pass the two million mark in road attendance tonight and become the fifth team in American League history to go over that mark at home and on the road.

1987: Detroit's Tom Brookens homers in the 5th off Teddy Higuera, snapping the Brewer pitcher's scoreless streak of 32 innings. Higuera's mark tops Ray Searage's team record of 30 innings (August 26, 1984-April 19, 1985).

2001 - All major league baseball games are canceled due to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Flight #93, and the Pentagon. Games will not resume until September 17. The Blue Jays take a 12-hour bus ride from Baltimore back to Toronto, and Yankee Stadium is evacuated as a precautionary measure. Former minor league players Marty Boryczewski and Brent Woodall are killed in the attacks.
2002: Yankee legends Whitey Ford and Phil Rizzuto unveil a monument dedicated to the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The team also has a ceremonial tree planting in Monument Park in honor the of heroes and victims of horrific events of a year ago.
