Boxscore.

Amazing how often the durability of Justin Verlander gets overlooked.
Since 2007, Verlander has thrown at least 200 innings in 10 of his last 11 seasons — all with a fastball holding triple-digit capability.

Incredible given the frequency of elbow injuries to hard-throwers.

Dawel Lugo is in the history books as the first Tigers hitter ever with an RBI against Justin Verlander at Comerica Park.

Justin Verlander's 270th strikeout -- which gave him a new single-season high for his career -- was, of course, an elevated fastball.

Velocity: 95.0 mph 🔥
Spin rate: 2,644 rpm 🌀
Pitch height: 3.68 feet 🔝

Behind crafty JV, Astros break free late for G1 Win.

The TB voters still voted JV a bit lower, a 3rd and a 4th. Not sure if it would have matter if they voted him 2nd. Remember when he finished 2nd to Porcello the TB writes voted him 5th. This made a little more sense since the guy from TB won. Though they somehow don't like JV for some reason. But can't argue Snell's numbers..
 
Glad to see deGrom wasn’t forgotten about because he’s on a terrible team (10-9 record, not that it matters). Phenomenal numbers: 1.70 ERA (1st), 2.60 xFIP (1st), and 11.16 K/9 (5th).
