The last time Justin Verlander took the mound at Comerica Park, the Detroit Tigers were reeling. He threw a gem, but the bullpen blew the game and their losing streak reached six.
This time, Verlander threw another gem. The bullpen couldn’t blow the game – not with the team’s hot hitting – and the Tigers appear ready to get back into the AL Central race. Verlander dominated the Twins, the Tigers offense once again raked, and they won their fourth straight game, 6-3, at Comerica Park.
Verlander allowed three runs on six hits over 7 1/3 innings, striking out 10 and walking three.
