Tigers starter Justin Verlander (13-11) turned in a solid outing as he got back to his winning ways, snapping a six-start winless skid Friday night against the Royals. The right-hander surrendered three runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out seven over 6 2/3 innings of a 6-3 victory.

Verlander has allowed three earned runs or more in three of his last four starts. He'll look to keep things going Wednesday at home against Seattle. He yielded two runs over seven innings pitched in his previous meeting against the Mariners on April 18.
