August 21 in Tigers and mlb history:

1901: In Baltimore, Orioles pitcher Joe McGinnity is tossed for spitting in the face of umpire Tom Connolly. When Detroit's Kid Elberfeld intervenes, he is decked by Baltimore's Mike Donlin. Bill Keister also gets involved, as do some fans, and the police, who arrest the players and a fan. Judge Harry Goldman, a part-owner of the O's, releases the players and fines the fan $100.

1953 - Major league player representatives Ralph Kiner (National League) and Allie Reynolds (American League) hire labor leader John Norman Lewis at $15,000 per annum to give legal advice to players in their negotiations with the owners.

1971: Mickey Lolich allows six hits as Detroit beats the Brewers 7 - 2. It is Lolich's 20th win of the year.

1984: At Detroit, Lance Parrish cracks a first-inning grand slam off Lary Sorensen, and the Tigers drive by the A's 12 - 6. Milt Wilcox goes six innings for the win.

1993: The Tigers trade OF Rob Deer to the Red Sox for a player to be named. Deer will homer tomorrow in his first at bat for the Sox.

2011: The Tigers score 7 runs off Cleveland's Ubaldo Jimenez in the 3rd, including homers from Delmon Young and Victor Martinez, but the Indians slowly claw back. In the 4th, both benches are warned when Tigers starter Rick Porcello throws a pitch behind Asdrubal Cabrera shortly before being chased from the game. In the 6th, Tigers manager Jim Leyland is ejected by third base umpire Alan Porter for arguing a tag play at the base on Wilson Betemit. Detroit closer Jos? Valverde then pitches the 9th with a one-run lead, but puts the first two men he faces on base courtesy of a walk and a hit-by-pitch. After Jack Hannahan's successful sacrifice bunt, he gets pinch-hitter Matt LaPorta to fly to short center field; CF Austin Jackson then unloads a superb throw to the plate that nails Kosuke Fukudome trying to score from third base, for a spectacular game-ending double play. Detroit completes a three-game sweep with the 8 - 7 win and Valverde has now been perfect in all 37 of his save opportunities this year.

Another starter enjoying a breakout season is Tigers starter Rick Porcello. Last night, Porcello shut out the Rays on 3 hits, no walks and 4 strikeouts in a complete game shutout of the Rays. Porcello moved his record to 14-8 with a 3.10 ERA, 3.58 FIP. 3.68 xFIP, a 1.12 WHIP and a 100-32 strikeout to walk rate in 165.1 innings this season. He has given up three runs or less in eight of his last ten starts, and is on pace for 18 wins. He will certainly receive a bump in our offseason starting pitcher rankings.

Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera aggravates right ankle after home-plate slide.

Miggy serves as DH after tweaking right ankle.
Tigers' slugger aggravates old issue running bases in Wednesday night's win.
Miguel Cabrera, who played first base for the first two games of the Tigers' series against the Rays at Tropicana Field, served as the designated hitter for Thursday's finale.
Manager Brad Ausmus said Cabrera tweaked his right ankle running the bases in Wednesday night's 6-0 win, and it's a minor recurrence of a nagging issue. Ausmus said Cabrera's ankle was only of "small concern" and he was "not particularly" worried.
"He re-aggravated an old ankle injury," Ausmus said. "It goes back a little ways. It's not the first time it's happened. It flares up from time to time, and a lot of times when he slides, it re-aggravates it for whatever reason."
In the first inning on Wednesday, Cabrera chugged around the bases to score from first on Victor Martinez's double into the right-field corner, and after sliding into home, Cabrera appeared to come up with a slight limp.
Don Kelly eventually came in as a defensive replacement for Cabrera in the ninth inning.
"There are days when he feels better than others, so on those days when he doesn't feel as great, we're gonna try to maybe DH him. It's possible to give him a day or get him out of a game early like we did yesterday," Ausmus said.
To get Cabrera off his feet, Martinez started at first base on Thursday. Martinez had been Detroit's DH on Tuesday and Wednesday.
