Tigers 4, Indians 3

Verlander.

     What do you do when you need a win? Turn to your ace. That's exactly what the Tigers did. Jim Leyland gave Verlander the ball and he pitched seven shut-out innings, gave up three hits, struck out eleven and got his major league-leading seventeenth win (100th career.)
     You couldn't ask for more.        
     The Tigers' win last night put them up by 3.0 games in the AL Central. The two teams play each other ten more times this season, including a season-ending series on September 26-29.
      Closer Jose Valverde set a new Tigers record, notching his thirty-third save in thirty-three chances. The previous record was set by Guillermo Hernandez in 1984, the year the Tigers got off to a 35-5 start and beat the Padres in the World Series.
     Thanks for reading and go Tigers!!!
