Verlander, who starts Saturday, is seven strikeouts shy of tying Denny McClain (1,150) for ninth place on the Tigers career list. Verlander will be seeking his 99th career win.

Off Topic but did anyone hear about the Pitcher in the Rockies Game who took a line drive off the temple?

Hope he's ok.

Man, was that bad.

Interesting, the Tigers currently have the biggest division lead in the AL, but the AL central is the closest race top to bottom in all MLB.

By the way, Rick Porcello is one of 3 pitchers to have two 5 and 0 record in a month before their 23rd birthday.
Wally Bunker of the 1964 orioles, and Babe Ruth in 1917.

Thanks KC for the links. Interesting about Porcello. Only 3 guys, amazing.

I do feel like people are overlooking how young rick is...the fact he has been this good this early is amazing. You expect some up and downs from a 22 year old in the majors.

If he figures how to get the sinker going consistently he's going to be good for years to come.

RISP and 2 outs. also check Tigers hits and OBP compared to other teams.

For all of those who have asked, Weaver appealed his suspension. That's why he started last night.
