Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander tossed his second quality start in a row Friday, but took a no-decision in a 4-3 loss.

Verlander tossed six solid innings in the outing, allowing three runs on six hits. He walked just one batter and struck out eight, his second straight start reaching that number, after failing to do so for 12 straight starts.

Verlander is still winless over his last five starts, but has been much improved over his last two outings. He has a 6-7 record and 4.80 ERA heading into his next start, set for Wednesday against the Athletics.
