Francisco Rodriguez?s ?disgusting? blown save dampens Tigers? postseason chances.
K-Rod was one strike away from giving the Tigers a win, but offense shares the blame for failing to come through on multiple occasions.

September 25 in Tigers and mlb history:

1908: Detroit's Ed Summers pitches two complete-game wins over the A's, winning the opener, 7 - 2. The second game is a 10-inning battle with another rookie, Biff Schlitzer, that ends 1 - 0 on a Claude Rossman drive for an inside-the-park home run. Summers allows just two hits. With the White Sox idle, the Tigers move to a half-game out of first.

1940: Bobo Newsom wins a clutch doubleheader for the Tigers, pitching 2 innings of relief in the opener against the White Sox, and going the distance in the nightcap for his 21st win.

1944 - Going into the final Monday of the season, the Tigers hold a one-game lead over the Browns with the Yankees now out of the running. Russ Christopher of the A's beats the Tigers 2 - 1, to produce a tie for the lead.

1952 - Hal Newhouser of the Tigers wins his 200th game. It is his last win for Detroit, who will release him in early 1953.

1955: Detroit Rightfielder Al Kaline becomes the youngest batting champ in history, as he takes the American League crown at age 20 with a .340 average. The future all-time great will also lead the league in hits with 200, and total bases with 321. Kaline will finish 2nd in the MVP vote to Yankees catcher Yogi Berra.

1967: In an afternoon game, the Angels top the leading Twins, 9 - 2 in Minnesota, to move the idle Red Sox into a first-place tie. Detroit loses, 2 - 0, to Yankee lefty Al Downing.

1971 - With rookie C Tim Hosley hitting two homers and driving in five runs, the Tigers trip the Yankees, 10 - 7. Les Cain pitches six innings for the win. Cain finishes with a 10-9 record with 145 innings, but contends he is forced to pitch by Manager Billy Martin while he has a sore arm. Cain later claims that it did permanent damage to his arm and he sues the Tigers. In a landmark decision, the Michigan Bureau of Workman's Compensation will order the Tigers to pay Cain $111 a month for the rest of his life. A lump sum payment is later agreed upon.

1977 - Detroit pounds out 18 hits against Boston's Reggie Cleveland, but they still lose 12 - 5.

1989: Boston's Wade Boggs goes 4 for 5 in a 7 - 4 win over the Yankees to become the first player in major league history to achieve both 200 hits and 100 walks in four consecutive seasons. It is Boggs's 7th straight 200-hit season overall, extending his own modern major league record.

Phil Coke remembers standing on the bullpen mound at Fenway Park in the 2013 ALCS, watching David Ortiz?s game-tying grand slam off Joaquin Benoit. It was the biggest hit of the series ? and an epic moment in Ortiz?s career ? and it came in an at bat that arguably should have come against Coke.
The soon-to-retire slugger was surprised it didn?t happen,

The following day, Ortiz asked the lefty, ?How come you no pitch against me last night?? Coke told him he didn?t know, that it wasn?t his call.

A month earlier, Coke had introduced Ortiz to his wife prior to a regular-season game. The soon-to-retire slugger looked at her and said, ?I hate facing your husband.?

In 22 career at bats against Coke (including the postseason), Ortiz has two hits.

Grieving Jose Iglesias scratched before game. Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias was given the day off Sunday as he grieves the loss of his friend and fellow Cuban, Jose Fernandez.
The Miami Marlins pitcher was killed along with two others in a boating accident in Miami Beach, Fla., Sunday morning.
Andrew Romine will play at shortstop in the new lineup that was posted after Iglesias was scratched.

September 26 in Tigers and mlb history:

1926: In his final day in a Tiger uniform, Ty Cobb watches his replacement in centerfield gets 6 hits in a twin bill with the Red Sox to become the new batting champ as Heinie Manush edges Babe Ruth, .378 to .372, for the batting title.

1926 at Navin Field: Bob Fothergill hits for the cycle against Boston.

1948 at Briggs Stadium: An afternoon contest with Cleveland attracts 57,588, the greatest turnout ever for a single day game in Detroit.

1955 - The Red Sox beat the Yankees, 8 - 1, as Ted Williams goes 1 for 2. Williams finishes the season at .356, well ahead of Al Kaline's .340, but does not have enough at bats to win the batting title. The same thing happened in 1954. Williams was walked 136 times in 1954 and 71 times (an American League-leading 17 were intentional) this year.
A rule change will be made to recognize plate appearances, not times at bat, to determine the batting champion.

1967 - Cleveland's Luis Tiant beats the Red Sox, 6 - 3, despite Carl Yastrzemski's 43rd home run of the season. The Twins top the Angels, 7 - 3, behind two monster home runs by Harmon Killebrew, his 42nd and 43rd of the season. Mickey Lolich blanks the Yanks, 1 - 0, for Detroit to tighten the pennant race. The Twins (91-68) lead with Chicago (89-68) and the idle Red Sox (90-69) a game back, and Detroit (89-69) one and a half back.

2012: The Tigers beat the Royals, 5 - 4, and when the White Sox lose to Cleveland, 6 - 4, they take sole possession of first place in the AL Central for the first time since July 24th. In the 5th inning, Alex Gordon robs Detroit's Miguel Cabrera of a home run by catching a ball over the left field fence; the catch may turn out to be costly, as Cabrera is putting in the most serious bid for a Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski's 1967 feat.
