Tigers did not take advantage of a Tarik Skubal start and could not score the designated runner from second base in extra innings to lose to Royals.

April 21 in Tigers and mlb history:
1887: Joe McCarthy is born in Philadelphia. McCarthy will become the first manager to win pennants with both National and American League teams, and will win nine league titles overall and seven World Series championships. He will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1977.
1904: Ty Cobb makes his professional debut for Augusta (South Atlantic League), hitting a double and home run.
1910: The new League Park opens in Cleveland, with a capacity of 21,000. 18,832 watch Detroit and Ed Willett beat the Naps, 5 - 0.
1912: The New York Giants and New York Highlanders stage an exhibition game to benefit survivors of the RMS Titanic. The Giants win the game, 11 - 2.
1933: The New York Giants purchased George Uhle from the Detroit Tigers for $20,000.
1955: At Ebbets Field, the Brooklyn Dodgers beat Robin Roberts and the Philadelphia Phillies, 14 - 4, for their 10th consecutive victory from the start of the season, setting a major league record that will last until 1981.
1957: A power failure stops a major league game for the first time in history. The night game between the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Senators at Griffith Stadium is halted after five innings.
1957: Don Hoak of the Cincinnati Redlegs unwittingly brings about a change in the baseball rules. Leading off second base, Hoak intentionally interferes with an apparent double play grounder. Hoak is called out, but the batter is safe.
A new rule will result: if a runner willfully interferes with a batted ball that could result in a double play, both the runner and the batter will be called out.
1958: Frank House of the Kansas City Athletics scores two runs as a pinch hitter in an eight-run 8th inning, as the Athletics trim the Cleveland Indians, 9 - 4. House's feat is just only the sixth occurrence in major league history.
1961: The Minnesota Twins, formerly known as the Washington Senators, play their first home game in Minnesota at Metropolitan Stadium, losing to the expansion "new" Washington Senators, 5 - 3.
1961: Tigers 9 - Angels 1. Rocky Colavito hits a 3-run home run in the first inning. Jake Wood goes 3-for-4 with a double. Don Mossi strikes out 9 in a complete game 5th straight win: Tigers are 5-1, Tied for AL lead.
1965: Tigers beat the Athletics 1-0 in their home opener on an RBI double by Don Demeter in the 4th inning and a shutout by Hank Aguirre and Larry Sherry.
1966: The Chicago Cubs make one of the best trades in franchise history, acquiring future Hall of Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins from the Philadelphia Phillies in a five-player deal. The Cubs surrender pitchers Bob Buhl and Larry Jackson for Jenkins, outfielder Adolfo Phillips, and first baseman John Herrnstein. Jenkins, who had made his major league debut in 1965, will win 20 games for the Cubs in 1967.
1968: Tigers win their 8th and 9th straight in a doubleheader sweep in Chicago. Earl Wilson and Denny McLain each pitch CGs, hold the White Sox to 3 runs total.
1971: Willie Stargell hits three home runs, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 10 - 2 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Stargell, who also hit three home runs against Atlanta on April 10th, will set a major league record - since broken - for the most home runs in April with eleven.
1977: Dave Rozema pitches a 4-hit shutout at Fenway Park for his first career win, Tigers win 8-0.

1979: Umpires set up a picket line at Tiger Stadium threatening to delay a game with Toronto before meeting with Tigers management.
1982: The Atlanta Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds, 4 - 3, for their 13th straight victory to begin the season.
1984: Tigers set an AL record with their 11th win in their first 12 games of the season. Lou Whitaker goes 2-for-3 with a home run in 4 - 1 win over white sox.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C9JAB2AXsAEYh50.jpg
1994: Cleveland Indians first baseman Eddie Murray hits home runs from both sides of the plate in a game for the 11th time in his career to break the record set by Mickey Mantle. Cleveland beats the Twins, 10 - 6.
2006: Tigers win on an Ivan Rodriguez home run in the top of the 9th and beat the mariners 2 - 1.
2008: The Detroit Tigers released Henry Mateo.
2011: Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association come to an agreement on paying pensions for major league players active from 1947 to 1979 who failed to qualify for a pension at the time.
Until 1979, players needed to have completed four full years of major league service to qualify for a pension, leaving hundreds short. Since 1980, pension benefits accrue from the first day a player spends in the majors. 904 players will receive benefits thanks to the agreement.
2015: The Detroit Tigers signed Luke Putkonen as a free agent.
2018: Nicholas Castellanos goes 3-for-5 with a home run as the Tigers beat the Royals 12-4 for their 5th win in 6 games.

Totally Tigers
As many of us continue to recover from eating too many chocolate bunnies, let’s continue to have fun and look back at some polls completed by our readers. Sometimes, distance gives us a better perspective. At the very least, the overall fan response can be eye-opening.
Today, we’re going to start with February and work into March.
I’m pulling the most interesting polls. They can be in agreement with what is going on today – or they can be wildly off.
As you read through all of these, find the one that caught your attention the most and tell us about it in the comments.
These are some of the latest polls and the Tigers have already enacted some changes. Did you see them coming? There are quite a few interesting polls here in which we may want to change our votes today!
