Justin Verlander : Today is Roberto Clemente Day -- he was a legend on and off the field and I'm honored to be considered for his award.

Verlander's Victory for Veterans program, which allows servicemen and women with injuries from tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan to enjoy a game with their family from Verlander's private suite at the park on days he pitches. The suite holds about 18 people, which allows up to three veterans and their families to use it for a game.

In addition, Verlander has lent his face to several deserving causes in the area. He recorded public service announcements for C.A.T.C.H., the charity former Tigers manager Sparky Anderson began to help improve the lives of needy children receiving treatment in local hospitals.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Got back from cigar night.
All my rsox fans are wondering if they make the playoffs, and if so will they beat our Tigers. They are in awe of JV.

After rally from four runs down, the Tigers' win streak reaches 12, longest since 1934.

Penny started: 6IP, 8H, 5R/1ER...Perry, Alburquerque, Coke and Valverde all w/ 1 scoreless IP ea., Coke gets W, Valverde 44th save.

Tigers now head to Oakland, where they could clinch as early as tom. night (again, if Indians lose tonight)....4Game series.

Leyland: "I will say this: Up to this point, we're not backing into it."

In Tigers' 14-game streak in '34, Mickey Cochrane hit .521 with 23 RBI in 12 games. Tigers hit .353 as team during that streak.

Tigers' 12-game streak ties TEX for longest of 2011. Last one longer: A's 20-gamer in '02. And now Tigers go to Oakland to play A's next.

Baseball reference had the Tigers for 3 pinch-hit HRs coming into today. Now at 5 pinch hit homers.

Alex Avila. Best hitting catcher in the AL, his numbers stack up with some really good hitters at less important defensive positions.

Tigers find another way to win late...score 3 in 9th on 2HR, one in 10th, beat W. Sox 6-5, and win 12th straight.

Tigers offense was quiet most of the day, Dylan Axelrod started and gave Sox 6 strong innings in first ML start.

That's when the expanded September rosters played big...Peralta - the first of 5 pinch-hitters in a row - struck out vs. Sale to start 9th.

Then Raburn hit PH HR to LF to make it 5-3. Ordonez worked Sale for walk...then Inge was announced as a pinch-hitter...Sox went to Santos.

But Tigers countered with Avila...pinch-hitting for the pinch-hitter...and he promptly hit 2-run HR to deep RightCenterField to tie game 5-5.

Santos had allowed 3HR all year going into series in Det. 10 days ago....Avila's HR was third he'd allowed in space of 6 batters vs. Tigers.

In the 10th....Martinez doubled off Santos 2/ 1 out, Rhymes went in as the pinch runner, then Guillen singled to CF to break tie, give Tigers 6-5 lead.

Pretty neat to see Guillen get rare start...and have big day - HR in 2nd, line single in 4th, line out in 6th, sharp single to deliver win.

Magic number is three to clinch Division...pending Indians game tonight. Indians loss in Texas, and it's down to two.

Tigers 12 Game win streak is longest for Tigers since 1934, when they won 14 straight. Magic # down to 3, 2 if Indians lose tonight in Texas.

Penny started: 6IP, 8H, 5R/1ER...Perry, Alburquerque, Coke and Valverde all w/ 1 scoreless IP ea., Coke gets W, Valverde 44th save.

Scorching-hot Tigers dump White Sox in 6 - 5 in 10th after 3-run rally in 9th.

Carlos Guillen singled home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and Detroit extended its longest winning streak in 77 years, rallying past the Chicago White Sox 6-5 for its 12th straight victory.

The Tigers have won 22 of their last 26 games overall and 21 of 27 against the White Sox.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

From Elias Sprts: The Tigers have won 12 straight games, all have come against AL Central opponents. Since MLB went to divisional play in 1969, it's tied for the 2nd-longest win streak by a team that featured all wins against divisional foes.

Entering the 9th inning Wednesday down 5-2, the Tigers had a 3.5 percent chance to win the game according to Elias win probability.

Sergio Santos has taken the loss in each of his last 2 appearances against the Tigers. He has allowed 5 runs on 6 hits (3 HR) in 2 1/3 innings in those 2 games.

The Tigers are the 4th team to extend a winning streak to 12 games with a comeback from 3 or more runs down in the 9th inning or later, the first to do so since the 1987 Brewers.
