Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander turned a dominating performance but failed to receive any run support from the offense as he was pegged with a tough-luck loss in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Verlander allowed a solo home run to Mike Napoli in the seventh inning for his only blemish of the night. He struck out 10 and allowed only one run on four hits and one walk over eight innings of a 1-0 defeat. He became the second pitcher to strikeout 10 or more and allow one run or fewer in three straight postseason starts.

Verlander is on track to pitch Game 7, if necessary.
