Verlander allowed just one run on four hits, walking two and striking out eight over eight innings of a 1-0 loss to Baltimore on Friday night.
Verlander (2-4) has turned in two gems in a row, allowing just one run in his last 15 innings while punching out 17, but he has no wins to show for it. His ERA dropped to 4.71 and the Tigers have to be hoping this was a performance he can duplicate going forward. He'll attempt to do just that in his next start at home against the Twins.
