A nice bounce back from Verlander, who was touched for five earned runs over four innings of a loss last time out. He made only two mistakes all day, both of which were deposited into the stands for home runs. Otherwise he was in prime form, improving his stellar K/BB ratio to 118/30. The flame-throwing righty is on track to take the mound again June 27 in Houston.

Though his rise isn't borne of Vermont's snowdrift season, Buster still concedes that Justin Verlander is currently the most dominant pitcher going. Just look at the numbers. Plus movement, injuries and drafted players already signing.

Leyland calls outing a "masterpiece"

Source (fanball.com) (SP - det) | 0 comments.

Manager Jim Leyland called Justin Verlander's one-run complete game against the White Sox on Wednesday a "masterpiece", according to USA Today. He added, "He looks like a totally different pitcher than last year."

Our View: Verlander hit 100 mph on his 122nd and final pitch of the game. White Sox players after the game were not shy about praising Verlander's stuff either. There may not be a more dominating pitcher going at the current moment.

Justin Verlander pitched a six-hitter for his first victory

Source (CBSSports.com) (SP - det) | 0 comments.

News: Justin Verlander pitched a six-hitter for his first victory ever at U.S. Cellular Field as the Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-1 on Wednesday night. Verlander (7-2) struck out nine and walked one in his second complete game this year. Going into the game, Verlander had been 0-6 with a 5.92 ERA in eight starts at U.S. Cellular Field and 2-9 with a 5.90 ERA all-time against the White Sox. The right-hander turned that around Wednesday with a dominant outing. Aside from Jim Thome's homer leading off the seventh, Verlander let only two runners get as far as third base. With Brian Anderson on third and one out in the sixth, Verlander retired Alexei Ramirez on a pop-up before striking out Jermaine Dye with a perfectly located, 98 mph fastball. With Chris Getz on third in the eighth inning, Verlander used a nasty curve to get Ramirez swinging. Verlander had to be sharp to beat John Danks (4-5), who gave up five hits and struck out seven in his best performance in six weeks. [...]

Verlander throws second complete game

Source (fanball.com) (SP - det) | 0 comments.

Justin Verlander threw his second complete game of the season as the Tigers defeated the White Sox 2-1 on Wednesday. He struck out nine while allowing six hits, one walk, and one earned run in the game.

Our View: Verlander has not lost a game since April 17. Since then he has completed at least seven innings in six of his 10 starts. He has allowed a mere eight runs in his last nine outings while striking out 81 hitters.

A masterful performance from Verlander, who made one mistake

Source (mlb.com) (P - det) | 0 comments.

A masterful performance from Verlander, who made one mistake all night, serving up a homer to Jim Thome. Other than that he was simply dominant, exhibiting exceptional control by throwing 89 of 122 pitches for strikes. He yielded zero or one earned run for the seventh time in the last nine starts. With a stellar 106/25 K/BB ratio and formidable 3.02 ERA, Verlander has been a top-tier starter ever since getting over early-season struggles. Owners can count on more of the same when he takes the hill next on June 16 in St. Louis.
