Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

July 25 in Tigers and mlb history:

1908: With the Highlanders leading the Tigers 3 - 2 in the 8th, Detroit scores two runs on a Ty Cobb triple. With lefty Claude Rossman the next hitter, New York's new manager Kid Elberfeld moves righty pitcher Jack Chesbro to 1B and replaces him with first baseman Hal Chase. Chase allows a fly ball that scores Cobb, then goes back to 1B and Chesbro resumes his spot on the mound. It is Chase's only pitching appearance as the Tigers win, 5 - 3.

1959: Against Detroit, Yankee first baseman Moose Skowron reaching for a wide throw, collides with Tiger runner Coot Veal. Skowron's arm is broken in two places and he is out for the rest of the season. Marv Throneberry will fill in at 1B. The Yanks win, 9 - 8, when Yogi Berra hits a home run in the 9th with Mickey Mantle on. Prior to the Yogi home run, Bobby Richardson and Fritz Brickell hit their first major league homers for New York. Berra's home run erases five Yankee errors, three by 3B Hector Lopez.

1967: Race riots in Detroit force postponement of a Tigers-Orioles game. The games scheduled for the 26th and 27th are shifted to Baltimore.

1999: The Tigers defeat the Red Sox, 9 - 1, as 1B Tony Clark homers from both sides of the plate for the second time this season.

Tigers Game Notes July 21-23.

Tigers 4 - Diamondbacks 3 (Mon.) ? Joe Nathan held onto a one-run lead and a Justin Verlander win. Somebody pinch me.

Matt Stites handled Detroit in the 8th and 9th on six straight groundouts to the left side.
Diamondbacks 5 - Tigers 4 (Tues.) ? Miguel Montero?s two-run single turned the game around with two out in the 8th ? on 0-and-2 from a lefty, with two out ? after three walks by Detroit?s atrocious bullpen. The only hope remaining was that Addison Reed would have to face Miguel Cabrera ? but with Victor Martinez having been lifted for a pinch-runner, Reed threw Miggy four straight balls, then put Don Kelly to bed.

The Doug Fister trade wouldn?t look so bad if Ian Krol had been useful, but he?s been awful.

Tigers 11 - Diamondbacks 5 (Wed.) ? Miggy?s first home run (that counted) in July gave him 80 RBI, and brought some breathing room to a downfalling pitching staff.

It?s hard to picture Mark Trumbo making a diving catch, but I think he was right to try in this case ? bags full, two out, Tigers already up by three. Playing safe would score two runs, anyway.

Hot at last: Austin Jackson has thrived since moving back to the leadoff spot on July 1, hitting .362 with 17 runs in 19 games.

Anibal Sanchez has let in 4 runs or more in consecutive starts for just the second time in 59 Bengal outings. He?s yielded at least 6 hits in six straight starts ? doesn?t sound like much, but it ties his career long, and he?d never had more than four such in a row with Detroit.

Oh, yes, I?m glad the Tigers landed Joakim Soria. But oh, what a tangled web we weave, when we won?t pay market rate to re-sign Joaquin Benoit.
