News/Editorials

The Tigers had dropped 13 straight games at the former Jacobs Field until Justin Verlander limited the Indians to three hits and struck out 10, pitching just well enough to hold off the Cleveland 4-3 on Thursday night. Verlander, who is not yet 29 years old, has 100 career victories (even though we all know that decisions for pitchers are dumb). He also knows how to make Shelley Duncan nuts, as Jeff Sullivan of SB Nation deconstructs in a brief but brilliant post. And a happy game finished goes to Jose Valverde, who notched his 33rd straight save.
