Things to know about this game
The Tigers have lost their past seven road games since Aug. 5, including a three-game sweep at Texas last week. They've been outscored by a 54-20 margin in that stretch.

White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu is 12-for-33 with four home runs for his career against Verlander.

Verlander has five games this season in which he has notched at least 35 combined called and swinging strikes. Four of those have come since the All-Star break, including 36 over eight innings against the Dodgers on Sunday.
Verlander has a 2.36 ERA and .189 batting average allowed over his past nine starts, averaging just under seven innings per game. His one vulnerability over that stretch has been the long ball with nine homers allowed, including three at Texas two starts ago. He has allowed more homers to the White Sox over his career (40) than any other opponent, including five in 21 innings last year.

MLB STATEMENT
Here is a statement from Major League Baseball:

Discipline has been issued to members of the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees as a result of the bench-clearing incidents during Thursday's game at Comerica Park in Detroit. Joe Torre, Chief Baseball Officer for Major League Baseball, made the announcement.

Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera has received a seven-game suspension for inciting the first bench-clearing incident and fighting.

Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez has received a four-game suspension for fighting, including throwing punches.

Tigers pitcher Alex Wilson has received a four-game suspension for intentionally throwing a pitch at Todd Frazier of the Yankees while warnings were in place for both sides.

Yankees catcher Austin Romine has received a two-game suspension for fighting, including throwing punches.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus has received a one-game suspension for the intentional actions of Wilson while warnings were in place.

All five individuals also received undisclosed fines as a part of their discipline. Others who were fined for their actions during the incidents were Yankees manager Joe Girardi, Yankees bench coach/acting manager Rob Thomson, Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner, Yankees pitcher Tommy Kahnle and Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias. In addition, two members of the Yankees, first baseman Garrett Cooper and outfielder Clint Frazier, received fines for entering the field while being on the disabled list.

Unless appealed, all suspensions are scheduled to be effective tonight, when the Yankees are to host the Seattle Mariners and the Tigers are to visit the Chicago White Sox. If any player elects to appeal, then the discipline issued to him will be held in abeyance until the process is complete. In addition, if Wilson chooses to appeal his discipline, Ausmus' suspension will be effective the same day that Wilson serves his suspension, if any.


No games off for bettances, FU Joe Whoree FU.

@JoeTorre Joe Torre chief baseball officer shows bias for his yankees, 4 games for suckerpunching sanchez, 0 games for head hunter battances!

@JoeTorre Bias much!! Kahnle throws at Cabrera, Judge punches him on the ground, Bettances hits McCann
w/ a 98mph. No Suspensions! You blow dead goats Joe!

Gutless MLB caters to the Yankees yet again. 4 GAMES FOR Sanchez and 0 for Judge is a slap to the face to the Tigers and Miggy who received 7. Flat out ridclues.
