Vintage Verlander
Verlander threw well, allowing two runs on six hits over seven innings. The Tigers threatened once — putting two men on with one out in the second inning — but were overmatched by the veteran right-hander. Verlander struck out 10 batters, marking the 52nd game of his career — and 10th this season — with double-digit strikeouts. He walked one batter and walked off the mound to a standing ovation after the seventh inning.
