Detroit Tigers Gameday: Lefty Matt Boyd starts vs. New York Mets.
Mlive

Lefty Matt Boyd takes the mound for the Tigers after a three-run, four-hit outing last Friday that only lasted five innings but earned him a win.
Boyd is 2-0 with a 2.21 ERA in his last four starts.

Verrett, 26, is making his 11th start this season and boasts a WHIP of 1.41. He's allowed 11 home runs, has struck out 53 and walked 35 in 79 1/3 innings.

J.D. Martinez continues to swing a hot bat since his return from the disabled list. In his three games back, he's 5 for 9 with two doubles, a home run and three runs scored.

There's a possibility Cameron Maybin returns to the lineup today after sitting out Thursday's game -- his second in a row -- with a thumb sprain.
 
DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers center fielder Cameron Maybin will miss his third consecutive start with a sprained thumb.

Tyler Collins will start in his place on Saturday against the New York Mets.

"There's still some swelling (of Maybin's thumb)," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Friday. "It could be another day, it could be another two days."

JUSTIN VERLANDER STAYS HOT.
Justin Verlander picked up a win for the third straight start on Friday, defeating the Mets. Verlander has allowed two runs or fewer in his last seven starts.
The streak is the second longest in his career. Verlander had a streak of nine such starts in his Cy Young winning season in 2011 according to Elias Sports Bureau.

August 7 in Tigers and mlb history:

1952 - Umpire Bill McGowan is suspended indefinitely by the American League. In a game in St. Louis, McGowan had thrown out Tiger P Billy Hoeft, who had been heckling him from the dugout. When St. Louis writers, who have had a stormy relationship over the years with the veteran McGowan, ask him to identify the player, the umpire refuses, then adds an obscene gesture. The writers' complaint results in a suspension.

1955 - After a 12-17 record in July, the Yankees are in a 4-team race. Tiger Frank Lary beats New York 4 - 2 in game one, and New York then earns a critical 3 - 2 10th-inning win on a Mickey Mantle homer off Babe Birrer.

1978 - Eddie Mathews, Addie Joss, and Larry MacPhail are inducted at Cooperstown.

1985 - A five-year agreement between the union and owners, which includes salary arbitration eligibility increasing from two years to three years, ends the two-day mid-season players' strike. The season will resume tomorrow.

2002: In a historic move, major league baseball players end their long-held opposition to mandatory drug testing by agreeing to be tested for illegal steroids beginning in 2003.
