The Cleveland Indians pummeled Justin Verlander, and outslugged the Detroit Tigers 11-8 yesterday. Verlander didn’t make it through the fourth inning. He was charged with seven runs, and didn’t strike out a batter for the first time in a decade. With the game well out of hand, Detroit scored six runs in the bottom of the ninth to make it close. James McCann and Nicholas Castellanos homered.
