Tigers ace Justin Verlander had another less-than-stellar outing Sunday at home against the Red Sox. Boasting a 3.90 ERA, Verlander was on the hook for the loss before the Tigers tied things up after he left.
Taking a no-decision, Verlander still needed 112 pitches to go just five full innings before being replaced by Drew Smyly. He allowed four earned runs on seven hits and three walks and struck out four batters.
Verlander, who likely won't pitch in the All-Star Game, even if he makes the team, has gone 0-1 in his last two outings with nine runs allowed over just 10 innings with seven walks and nine Ks. He's struggled since winning four straight starts from May 22 through June 7.
Verlander will look to bounce back when he next gets the ball for a start Saturday at Tampa Bay.
