Season highlights

Team accomplishments

On April 16, the Tigers established a franchise record by hitting at least one home run in each of the team's first 12 games of the season.^[23] The streak was extended to 13 games on April 18, before the Tigers went homerless on April 19. It was the second-longest streak in Major League history, one shy of the record set by the 2002 Cleveland Indians at 14 games.^[24]
On April 25, the Tigers scored 19 runs in the game, it marked the first time the team has scored 13 or more runs in consecutive games since 1993. The Tigers' 19 runs, including nine-runs in the fifth inning, were the most in a game since 2008. The Tigers recorded 24 hits, while the Seattle Mariners recorded 16 hits, as the 40 combined hits broke the Comerica Park record for most hits in a nine-inning game. The Tigers were two runs shy of its franchise record, and four hits shy of its most hits in a game.^[25]^[26]
On May 20, the Tigers hit three consecutive home runs in an inning for the first time since 2013.^[27]

Individual accomplishments

Hitting

On April 4, JaCoby Jones became the first Tigers rookie to hit a home run on Opening Day since Kirk Gibson in 1980, and the first Tiger to record his first Major League home run on Opening Day since John Sullivan in 1965.^[28]
On April 11, James McCann hit his third home run of the season, becoming the first Tigers catcher in franchise history to hit three home runs in the first seven games of the season.^[29]
On April 19, Nicholas Castellanos hit two triples in the game, becoming the first Tigers player to do so since Austin Jackson in 2012.^[30]
On May 18, J. D. Martinez became the first Major League player since 1999 to record eight or more hits and eight or more walks in his first 24 plate appearances in a season.^[31]
On June 2, Miguel Cabrera recorded his 1,000th career extra-base hit, becoming the 39th player in Major League history to reach the milestone.^[32]
On July 7, Víctor Martínez recorded his 2,000th career hit, becoming the ninth active player to reach the milestone.^[33]
On July 18, Nicholas Castellanos hit a single, triple and two home runs in the game, becoming the fourth Tigers player to do since 1913, and the first Tigers player to do so since Dmitri Young in 2003.^[34]
On July 20, Miguel Cabrera recorded his 1,600th career RBI, becoming the 36th player in Major League history to reach the milestone.^[35]
On August 6, Nicholas Castellanos recorded his 500th career hit.^[36]

Pitching

On April 4, Justin Verlander tied a franchise record for the most strikeouts on Opening Day with 10, becoming the first Tigers player to do so since Mickey Lolich in 1970.^[37]
On June 21 against the Seattle Mariners, Justin Verlander retired the first 16 batters he faced, before a bunt hit by Jarrod Dyson in the sixth inning ruined the perfect game bid.^[38]
On July 17 against the Kansas City Royals, Jordan Zimmermann threw 79 strikes out of 97 pitches, an 81 percent strike rate that ranks as the best by a Tigers starter with 80 pitches or more since at least 1988, and was the best by a Major League starter since 2008.^[39]
On August 9 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Justin Verlander took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, before a two-out double by Josh Bell ruined the no-hit bid.^[40]

All-Stars

The Tigers sent two players to the 2017 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Starting pitcher Michael Fulmer was named to the All-Star Game, but did not participate due to pitching on Sunday, so his teammate outfielder Justin Upton took his place on the American League roster.^[41]^[42]
