Joey Drama in for the save.

YEAHHH!!

 

[tigermud]

Bruce 2.0 in to likely blow it

 

[nsonnett14]

I saw that. With those odds, I think I would put money on the Tigers.

$100 wins you $550.

Tigers are Plus 450 ...100 wins ya 450 .

How in the world can the kittens pitch so good against a team like Houston and so bad against bad teams ??? Does not make since. I guess its true blind hog can find a acorn.

Maybe they relax more when there is zero expectation they?ll do well :shrug:

Verlander throws a TWO hitter and could lose!

 

[Michchamp]

hahahhahahah I'm 2-0 in Houston-Tigers games, with JV on the mound.

tigers should pay me.

That's the case they should have won every game so far.

 

[tigermud]

It?s true can?t lose em all! 6 more wins to avoid being the worst tigers team ever

[turok]

So trying for the xb scoring position in a one run game w/2 out...hero or goat?

Who would have thought it? Tigers beat JV 2 - 1.
Geezus 2 hits allowed by Verlander but they were home runs. I think he leads the league in home runs allowed.

Another 10 or more strikeout game and JV is very close to the top ten in most 10 or more strikeout games by any pitcher in a career.

Pitchers to strike out 10+ in SEVEN STRAIGHT games.
Justin Verlander (2019)
Chris Sale (2015, 2017)
Randy Johnson (2001)
Pedro Martinez (1999 2x!)
Nolan Ryan (1977)

 

[turok]

Only 2 players each on both teams got hits.
