April 14 in Tigers and mlb history:
1910: William Howard Taft becomes the first U.S. President to throw out a ceremonial first pitch on Opening Day. Attending the game in Washington, D.C., President Taft tosses the first ball to future Hall of Famer Walter Johnson, who pitches the first of his 14 Opening Day Washington games, striking out nine, en route to a 3 - 0 one-hit shutout against Eddie Plank and the Philadelphia Athletics.
1911: Cleveland Naps star pitcher Addie Joss dies unexpectedly in Toledo, Ohio, from meningitis at the age of 31. Beset with arm injuries, Joss made just 13 appearances last season, but his 160 wins and ERA of 1.88, compiled in nine seasons, will earn him a plaque at Cooperstown in 1978.
1915: In the opening game at Shibe Park, Philadelphia Athletics pitcher Herb Pennock shuts out the Boston Red Sox, 5 - 0. Pennock gives up only one hit, a scratch single by Harry Hooper with two outs in the 9th inning.
1921: Harry Heilmann's bases-loaded single off Bugs Bennet in the bottom of the 9th gives the Tigers a 6-5 win over the White Sox.
1925: Two future Hall of Famers make their major league debuts with the Philadelphia Athletics in the same game.
Lefty Grove starts against the Boston Red Sox and leaves in the 4th inning after walking four and striking out nobody. He gives up five runs on six hits. In the 8th inning, Mickey Cochrane pinch-hits a single, while the Athletics go on to score nine runs in the last four innings to win, 9 - 8, in ten innings. Grove, known as Groves in Baltimore, is also listed that way in the New York Times box score. Grove will become the first pitcher to lead the American League in strikeouts and walks in the same year.
1925: In the first regular-season Chicago Cubs game to be broadcast on the radio, Quin Ryan announces the contest from the grandstand roof for WGN. Grover Alexander wins for the Cubs, 8 - 2, over the Pirates and helps himself with a single, double, and home run.
1925: The Cleveland Indians open the season with a 21 - 14 victory over the St. Louis Browns. The Indians score 12 runs in the 8th inning when the Browns make five errors. Browns first baseman George Sisler has four errors in the game, and the Indians' 21 runs set a major league record for the most runs scored by one club on Opening Day.
1931: At Braves Field, Jack Quinn of the Brooklyn Robins becomes the oldest pitcher to start an Opening Day game. The 47-year-old Pennsylvanian gets tagged with the lost as the Boston Braves beats Brooklyn, 7 - 4.
1942: Red Sox legend Ted Williams shakes hands with teammate Jimmie Foxx after hitting a HR vs. the Philadelphia A's on Opening Day at Fenway Park! Ted went 3-for-4 with 5 RBI's in the game.

1955: Elston Howard becomes the first black player in New York Yankees history. The 26-year-old catcher/outfielder makes his debut against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park as he hits a single with one RBI in the Yankees' 8 - 4 loss. Howard will play in 12 All-Star games and win the A.L. MVP in 1963.

1958: The Detroit Tigers signed Art Houtteman as a free agent.
1961: Frank Lary (1-0) pitches 1-hitter, Al Kaline has 3 hits and Rocky Colavito homers. The Tigers have 15 hits and beat White Sox 7-0.
1964: Tigers beat Athletics 7-3 on 2 RBIs each from Bill Bruton, Norm Cash, Bill Freehan. Bill Freehan and Jerry Lumpe have 3 hits each. Phil Regan pitches 8 1/3 for the win.
1964: Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax throws his ninth complete game without allowing a walk as he beats the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 - 0, in his only career start on Opening Day.
1966: Happy Birthday to Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, born this day in San Angelo, TX.

1968: Jim Bunning wins his first game for the Pittsburgh Pirates, a 3 - 0 shutout over the Dodgers. For Bunning, it is his 40th career shutout and includes his 1,000th National League strikeout, becoming the first pitcher since Cy Young to reach the 1,000 mark in both the National and American Leagues. Bunning also joins Cy Young with 100 Wins in both leagues and retires in 2nd place with 2,855 Strikeout to Walter Johnson.
1968: At the Astrodome, New York Mets pitcher Nolan Ryan earns the first of his 324 major league victories. The 21-year-old right-hander hurls six and two-thirds innings of three-hit, shutout baseball to lead the Mets over the Houston Astros, 4 - 0. Danny Frisella takes the save in 2 1/3 innings of relief. Tommie Agee goes 2 for 3 with two runs and Art Shamsky 2 for 3 with two RBI. Larry Dierker is the losing pitcher.

1986: The Tigers get home runs from Lance Parrish, Darrell Evans, and Harry Spilman. They score 6 runs in the 6th inning to beat White Sox 10-8 in Chicago.

2001: By scoring in their 175th consecutive game, the Cincinnati Reds set a modern National League record for not being shut out by an opponent. Coincidentally, to break the record, Cincinnati beats Al Leiter and the New York Mets, 1 - 0, the last pitcher and team to shut out the franchise.
2001: A total eleven one-run games (six in American League and five in National League) breaks a record set on May 30, 1967 when there were a combined 10 one-run contests in the major leagues.

2004: The Detroit Tigers signed Joe Vitiello as a free agent.

Riley Greene has been prone to some brutal slumps throughout his short MLB career. The hope, though, is that these valleys will eventually smooth out.
