1934 In the nightcap of a twin bill, Schoolboy Rowe, after sixteen straight victories, finally loses when the A's chase him after seven innings in a 13-5 final at Philadelphia's Shibe Park. In his last start, the Tiger right-hander tied the American League record for consecutive wins shared by Smoky Joe Wood, Walter Johnson, and Lefty Grove.
1986 Down by eight runs in the bottom of the final frame, the Angels score nine times to beat the Tigers, 13-12. Dick Schofield, batting for the second time in the inning, completes the amazing comeback with a two-out walk-off grand slam off Willie Hernandez.
