Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

I don?t have an American League Cy Young award vote this year. If I did, Justin Verlander would be on my short list. The Tigers right-hander is second in the AL in innings pitched ? IMO the most under-appreciated old-school stat ? and with few exceptions they?ve been quality innings. Verlander has allowed two-or-fewer earned runs in 19 of his 29 starts and three-or-fewer in 24 of the 29. On two other occasions he allowed four runs while going seven innings.

Voters who like to look at W-L records ? Verlander is 14-7 ? should note that he has a loss and seven no-decisions in games where he allowed two-or-fewer runs.

Pitchers frequently say their job is to give their team a chance to win. With the exception of three first-half clunkers, Verlander has done that all season.

September 12 in Tigers and mlb history:

1925 - In Detroit's loss to Cleveland, 3 - 1 in 13 innings in the first game of a doubleheader, Detroit's Jackie Tavener hits a major league-record-tying three triples. Benn Karr goes the distance for the win. Detroit then takes the nitecap 3 - 2.

1974: Detroit P John Hiller picks up his 17th win in relief, an American League record, as he beats Milwaukee 9 - 7.
