Slower stuff key to Verlander domination.
from espn

Verlander relied on his changeup and curveball more than usual, throwing those pitches a combined 45 percent of the time. He?s only had two starts in the last four seasons in which he threw those pitches more frequently.

Verlander had four strikeouts on both his changeup and curveball, the first time in his career he had at least four on each of those pitches. Three of his changeup strikeouts were swinging and three of his curveball strikeouts were looking.

Verlander's curveball helped set up his other pitches. Seven of his 14 strikeouts came after he threw a curveball on the previous pitch, including three via his changeup.

The 14 strikeouts total tied the most by a Tigers pitcher against the New York Yankees.
The other two pitchers happen to be in the Hall of Fame?Hal Newhouser and Jim Bunning.

The Elias Sports Bureau noted that Verlander became the third pitcher to strike out at least 14 batters and allow no earned runs in a start against the Yankees.
The other two are Jim Shaw of the 1914 Washington Senators and Chuck Finley for the 1995 California Angels.

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.

Game of the Night: Tigers 7 - Yankees 2: An error by Justin Verlander in the 5th helped wipe out an early 2-0 lead from HRs by Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera (the latter colossal). But Ivan Nova had no command, and Detroit strafed him for hit after hit, tallying 5 more runs on 8 singles in the 5th and 6th. Every starting Tiger had at least one hit, and JV tied career highs of 14 strikeouts (retaking the MLB lead) and 132 pitches, his 75th straight game of 100+ pitches.
Verlander began the 8th with his only walk, but fanned the next 3. He tossed 21 pitches in that frame with a 5-run lead. True, the bullpen is sketchy and worn, and JV didn?t have many stressful innings, and he ought to know his body by now. But he?s leading the league in pitches for the 3rd time in 4 years (he was 4 off the lead in 2010), and if an injury does come soon, fingers will be pointed.
The last 14-K effort against the Bombers was in 1999, Pedro?s 17-K 1-hitter.
Eric Chavez had 3 of the 8 hits off Verlander, with a pair of leadoff doubles. He?s reached 200 PAs for the first time since 2007, and is hitting .275 and slugging .495.
Ichiro Suzuki?s 12-game hitting streak ended in an 0-4 with his first 3 Yankee strikeouts, tying his career high. He had been 17 for 51 against Verlander.
