MLB
The Detroit Tigers broke their six-game losing streak with a 6-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers yesterday. Both Justin Verlander and Kenta Maeda took no-hitters into the sixth inning. Verlander’s bid ended when Curtis Granderson homered – the only run Verlander would allow over eight innings. The Tigers responded with four runs in the bottom of the sixth, on a two-run double by Dixon Machado, and a two-run homer by Justin Upton. Miguel Cabrera’s two-run double in the eighth added some insurance.
