Indians 7, Tigers 3: Justin Verlander struggles in defeat

The Tigers' former ace allowed seven runs on eight hits, digging too deep a hole for Detroit's offense to overcome.

For a moment early, it looked as if the Tigers would have a chance to extend their winning streak. Instead, J.D. Martinez was called out at the plate upon review to end the top half of the first inning, and Justin Verlander couldn't stay out of trouble in the bottom half. The game only got worse from there, ending in a 7-3 defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Indians.

The Tigers' win streak ended at five.
