Tigers starter Justin Verlander made his 300th career start on Friday and lost, falling to 0-1 on the season.
It was Verlander's second start of the year. He surrendered three home runs, the most he's given up since June 29, 2012.
Verlander allowed six runs in 6 2/3 innings. He gave up 10 hits, walked a batter and struck out two.
"They capitalized on most of the mistakes I made, and they hit a few big homers," Verlander said. "Obviously, I wasn't quite as locked in as I'd like to be, I made a few mistakes and they made it hurt."
His next start will be Wednesday, at Cleveland.
