Tigers Extend Streak to 11 Games.
from detroittigertales

1909 and 1934 Tigers with 14 win in a row,
1927 Tigers with 13 wins in a row,

An individual streak was also extended tonight. Justin Verlander pitched seven shutout innings to gain his 23rd win of the year and 11th in a row. That is the longest Tigers individual winning streak since Jeremy Bonderman had 11 in 2006. Bobo Newsome won 13 in a row in 1940 and School Boy Rowe won 12 in succession in 1934.
 
Detroit Tigers Team Notes

September 14 in Tigers and mlb history :

1910 - Detroit rookie Dave Skeels, just 17 years old, make his first and only ML appearance, surrendering eight runs on nine hits and four walks in six innings, but comes away with a win. He finishes the day and his ML career with an ERA of 12.00

1968: The Tigers rally in 9th to beat the A's, 5 - 4, making Denny McLain the first thirty-game winner since Dizzy Dean reached the milestone in 1934.

1991: In the Tigers' 6 - 4 win over the Brewers, Detroit's Cecil Fielder hits a 502-foot home run, which is believed to be the first ball ever hit out of Milwaukee's County Stadium, off Dan Plesac. The ball lands in the back of a truck driven by Gary Schumacher, who doesn't stop until he is near Madison, WI.

1994 - The remainder of the baseball season is canceled by acting commissioner Bud Selig after 34 days of the players' strike. There will be no World Series for the first time since 1904.

2003: At Comerica Park, Detroit sets a franchise record for losses as they drop their 110th loss to the Royals, 7 - 2. The 1996 Tigers squad finished the season with a 53-109 record.

Verlander and Tigers Roaring down the stretch.
from espn

Justin Verlander threw seven scoreless innings and struck out six to win his 11th straight start, tying the Detroit Tigers' franchise record (Earl Whitehill in 1930, Hal Newhouser in 1946). He improves to 23-5 this season, just the fourth American League pitcher to win 23 games since 1990.
