Bill Coughlin is the second Tiger within a month to steal second base‚ third base‚ and home in a game; he does this in the 7th inning against Washington during a 13 – 4 romp. Pitcher Bill Donovan did it on May 7th. Washington ties the game at 4 apiece‚ but the Tigers score 9 in the last 2 innings to win. Charley O’Leary has a homer for Detroit.

6/4/1906 – The Tigers were hosting Washington. In the top of the eighth inning, Howard Wakefield fouled out to start the inning but then Jake Stahl realized he was the person who was supposed to have batted. When he reported this to umpire Tim Hurst, the latter declared Stahl out and play proceeded. Stahl had cussed out Hurst earlier in the game and later in the eighth cussed out base umpire Tom Connor and was ejected. Not a great day for the Washington skipper.
