So far we've gotten good success from unlikely guys. Romine getting big hits today..

If the seasons were to end with the standings the way they are today, the Tigers would host the wild card play in game.

Go Tigers !!!!

Today was the fifth time since the start of 2016 in which Verlander allowed 1 or fewer earned runs over 7-plus innings and didn?t get the win,

It was Verlander?s 20th straight start allowing 3 runs or less. He didn?t allow an earned run and just 3 hits and 2 walks. JV struck out 4.

According to MLB.com research, Verlander?s ERA in five starts opposite Sale is 1.46

Webvideo Highlights of the Tigers Win over the redsox.

ROARS:
Justin Verlander: Dominated and pitched around a double-happy Mitch Moreland. Went seven innings and gave up one run (unearned) on three hits, walking two and striking out four batters.

Ian Kinsler: The only hit the Tigers had was Romine?s ground-rule double until Kinsler dingered off Sale in the sixth to tie the game. It was a no-doubter, too.

Andrew Romine: A late lineup replacement after Justin Upton was pulled with upper back tightness, he had two doubles off Sale and scored the winning run.

The bullpen: Didn?t screw it up.

HISSES:
On Vacation

STREAKS AND INFO:
Mitch Moreland had a field day facing Detroit. He hit doubles in the second and fourth innings, and singled in the ninth to give him six hits in this series. He hit .533/.588/.867 during the series against the Tigers.

Andrew Romine had just second game of his career with multiple extra-base hits. On June 23, 2015, he hit a home run and a double, both off Cleveland?s Danny Salazar.

I believe I heard that Sale vs JV match-ups (4 times, before today), Sale's teams were 0-4, now 0-5.

Tigers aware 1st-half performance is crucial
Verlander, Kinsler realize that team makeup could change at Trade Deadline

DETROIT -- The Tigers lost a winnable game Sunday, and fans reacted with predictable panic and dread. In Detroit, there's no such thing as an isolated bullpen meltdown. Even in April, a spoiled lead evokes the image of David Ortiz swatting Joaquin Benoit's splitter into the Fenway Park bullpen during the 2013 playoffs.

Justin Verlander understands this.
He's also familiar with the franchise's present anxiety: If the Tigers play poorly (or even turn in a mediocre record) in the first half, changes contemplated last November may occur in July.

"Everybody sees the writing on the wall," Verlander said Monday. "If we don't play well, we're not going to be here. This team ain't going to be here. Nothing left to do but play good. That's it."

Simple.

At least Verlander made it look that way in Monday's showdown, a 2-1 Tigers win, with Boston co-ace Chris Sale. The Detroit bullpen needed an afternoon to recuperate, and Verlander's seven innings afforded them that. The only run he allowed was unearned; even that was something of a triumph for the Tigers, considering the bases-loaded, none-out situation that preceded it.

Even more remarkably, Verlander negotiated that high-wire second inning without command of his fastball. Curveballs saved him. And Verlander, in turn, rescued his teammates on a day the Tigers were without top right-handed hitters J.D. Martinez and Justin Upton against the left-handed Sale.
