Justin Verlander walked off the mound, beaten and battered by the Cleveland Indians once again, this time unlike any of the previous 331 times he had walked off the mound.
It was on this day in which the Detroit Tigers appeared to hit rock-bottom this season, the loudest thud heard when Verlander could not get out of the fourth inning.
It was there for the taking – a series win over the first-place Indians, some good vibes heading into an off-day before the 4th of July – but once again, Verlander’s arch nemesis took it to him.
