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.

Miguel Cabrera passes Bobby Abreu, now has 3rd-most hits among Venezuelan players.
Mlive

Cabrera now has 2,471 hits, tied for No. 103 all-time overall. He's 206 hits behind Hall of Fame shortstop Luis Aparicio, who is No. 2 among Venezuelans.

It will take a couple more seasons for Cabrera to pass Omar Vizquel, who has more hits than any other Venezuelan big-leaguer. Vizquel also happens to be the Tigers first base coach.

Cabrera already lead all Venezuelan-born players in home runs (435), RBIs (1,523), batting average (.320), on-base percentage (.398), slugging percentage (.561) and total bases (4,324).

The full hits tally is below.

All-time MLB hits by players from Venezuela:
1. Omar Vizquel 2,877
2. Luis Aparicio 2,677
3. Miguel Cabrera 2,471
4. Bobby Abreu 2,470
5. Andres Galarraga 2,333
6. Dave Concepcion 2,326
7. Magglio Ordonez, 2,156

August 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905 - Umpire John Sheridan forfeits a game to Washington in the 11th when the Tigers refuse to resume play after a lengthy dispute. Washington is ahead 2 - 1 at the time of the forfeiture.

1915: In the 2nd inning of game one of a doubleheader versus Detroit, the crowd sees the Senators score a run with no times at bat, the only time it's ever happened. Chick Gandil and Merito Acosta walk; Rip Williams sacrifices, and George McBride hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Gandil, and the Tigers catch Acosta off second base when OF Bobby Veach throws to Ossie Vitt. Washington's Walter Johnson goes on to win and snap the Tigers' 9-game win streak.

1933 - Hank Greenberg has the first of 35 multi-home run games. He also gets the first of his six career walk-off home runs.

1934 Rudy York makes his big league debut with the Tigers.

1946 - Clubs approve a change to a 168-game schedule, but they will rescind the decision at another meeting on September 16. Television is first recognized, with clubs given rights to their own games. Players jumping to outlaw leagues will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement for five years.

1972 - The Tigers and A?s have another brawl, setting up bad blood in that year?s ALCS showdown between them.

1978 - Ron LeFlore swipes his 27th consecutive base as Detroit beats the Twins 7 - 3. He began the streak on July 16.

1997: The Tigers pound the Brewers 16 - 1, with the aid of 23 hits and an 11-run 7th inning. Bobby Higginson gets five hits for Detroit, while Travis Fryman and Tony Clark drive in four runs apiece.

2011: Detroit's Justin Verlander continues his dominance on the mound, earning his major league-leading 19th win in the Tigers' 5 - 2 victory over the Rays. It is his 7th consecutive winning start. Alex Avila, hitting .424 in August, hits a two-run homer off Jeff Niemann in the 2nd to send the Bengals on their way.
