Verlander on track after solid bullpen session.
As Brad Ausmus was giving his pregame interview on Thursday morning at Tropicana Field, Tigers starter Justin Verlander strode into his office, high-fived his manager and walked out without a word.
Translation: Verlander's bullpen session went well.

"I would think that the high-five symbolizes 'I'm starting on Saturday,'" Verlander said. "I haven't discussed that with him yet, though, but I think we all knew if everything went according to plan, I'd be starting Saturday. I don't see any reason why I wouldn't be."

Verlander threw about 35 pitches off the bullpen mound before Detroit's series finale with no apparent setbacks. He felt good enough afterward to confirm his expectation of starting one half of the Tigers' doubleheader against the Twins on Saturday.

"It was pretty much everything I wanted today," Verlander said. "No issues. Everything felt good."

Verlander missed his last start with right shoulder inflammation, but he has been able to get his arm loose over the past few days to the point where he feels he will make his next turn in the rotation and stay off the disabled list.

On Thursday morning, he had not spoken to Ausmus about the specifics of pitching on Saturday, including which game of the twin bill he would start. The high-five was their only communication to that point.

Ausmus did say that, assuming Verlander pitches, the right-hander would not be on a strict pitch count. Verlander was on board with that idea.

"If we have a seven- or eight-run lead, it might be a time to not push it," Verlander said. "But if I feel good and it's a tight game, then it's not like I was on the DL and need to work my way back, and do a pitch count. I mean, I missed one start. It's not that big of a deal."

August 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905 - Umpire John Sheridan forfeits a game to Washington in the 11th when the Tigers refuse to resume play after a lengthy dispute. Washington is ahead 2 - 1 at the time of the forfeiture.

1915: In the 2nd inning of game one of a doubleheader versus Detroit, the crowd sees the Senators score a run with no times at bat, the only time it's ever happened. Chick Gandil and Merito Acosta walk; Rip Williams sacrifices, and George McBride hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Gandil, and the Tigers catch Acosta off second base when OF Bobby Veach throws to Ossie Vitt. Washington's Walter Johnson goes on to win and snap the Tigers' 9-game win streak.

1933 - Hank Greenberg has the first of 35 multi-home run games. He also gets the first of his six career walk-off home runs.

1934 Rudy York makes his big league debut with the Tigers.

1946 - Clubs approve a change to a 168-game schedule, but they will rescind the decision at another meeting on September 16. Television is first recognized, with clubs given rights to their own games. Players jumping to outlaw leagues will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement for five years.

1972 - The Tigers and A?s have another brawl, setting up bad blood in that year?s ALCS showdown between them.

1978 - Ron LeFlore swipes his 27th consecutive base as Detroit beats the Twins 7 - 3. He began the streak on July 16.

1997: The Tigers pound the Brewers 16 - 1, with the aid of 23 hits and an 11-run 7th inning. Bobby Higginson gets five hits for Detroit, while Travis Fryman and Tony Clark drive in four runs apiece.

2011: Detroit's Justin Verlander continues his dominance on the mound, earning his major league-leading 19th win in the Tigers' 5 - 2 victory over the Rays. It is his 7th consecutive winning start. Alex Avila, hitting .424 in August, hits a two-run homer off Jeff Niemann in the 2nd to send the Bengals on their way.
