July 29 in Tigers and mlb history:

1910 - White Sox OF Patsy Dougherty breaks up Detroit's Ed Summers's no-hitter The Tigers and Summers win it 1 - 0. It is the fourth time in his 10-year career that the .284 hitter has ruined someone's no-hitter.

1974 - Detroit hits four home runs in the first inning in an 8 - 2 win over the Indians. Al Kaline, Bill Freehan and Mickey Stanley hit consecutive home runs off Fritz Peterson, and Ed Brinkman adds another later in the inning, off Steve Kline.

1986 - Sparky Anderson, the first manager to win the World Series in each league, also becomes the first manager to win 600 games in both the National and American Leagues when his Tigers beat the Brewers 9 - 5. Sparky will manage the Tigers for 17 years total and become the All-Time winningest manager in the Tigers franchise with 1,331 Wins.

2007: Major League Baseball sets a single-day attendance record as 717,478 fans show up for 17 games. It easily breaks the 640,412 record set on July 3, 1999.

There is no easy way to say this. The Detroit Tigers stink right now.

Since May 9, Detroit is 29-40, which is the worst record in the American League over the last 11 and a half weeks.

They can?t hit. The Tigers have scored 14 runs in their last 64 innings.

They can?t pitch. Detroit?s pitching staff has a 5.49 ERA in the last eight games. In the last week, the Detroit Tigers are 2-5, and the team is 4-8 since the All-Star Break.

Oh, and the Tigers fell in fourth place in the American League Central after Tuesday?s loss. If readers can bare to see more numbers, MLive.com has more revealing statistics on the Tigers recent struggles.

The most frustrating thing about Detroit?s recent cold streak is the fact the most bizarre and obscure names are beating them. Mariners catcher Mike Zunino was 5-for-12 versus Tigers pitching last week, and Rays catcher Curt Casali is 6-for-8 with four home runs in this week?s series.

In 288 at-bats this season, Zunino is batting .188 while Casali came into the series with just three home runs in his entire career. Adding insult to injury, Casali is a former Tigers prospect.

A team floundering as much as Detroit is right now would not normally remain in the ?buying? conversation at the deadline, but the Tigers brass continues to be stubborn in the hopes that a trade will turn around the team.
