In Classic rematch, Verlander K's 14 Dodgers.

The towering home run Astros starter Justin Verlander allowed to Joc Pederson to begin Friday's game against the Dodgers certainly gave no indication of the complete domination that was to follow.

Facing a Dodgers team that scored 21 runs a night earlier, Verlander struck out 14 batters -- tying a career high -- and allowed four hits and one walk in 7 2/3 innings to pick up career win No. 199 in the Astros' 2-1 victory in a rematch of last year's World Series.

Verlander (11-6) surpassed the 200-strikeout mark for the eighth time in his career, leading the Astros to their third consecutive win and 70th of the season. He threw 105 pitches (76 strikes) and got 21 swings and misses, including 14 on his four-seam fastball. He pounded the strike zone early and expanded when he wanted.

Verlander is 33-6 all-time in Interleague Play with a 2.76 ERA.

THE LONG JOURNEY TO DISCOVERY.
Totally Tigers

Many fans thought about it. Wondered about it. And given the pattern and numerous examples over the years, came to believe in it.

And if you were looking for confirmation, you?ve come to the right place.

So what is it?

It?s the long-running hot topic about some of those who care for Tigers? players when it comes to keeping them healthy. They may not be doing their jobs as well as they could be.

And you?d have plenty of proof even if you only looked at the history since 2012.

You could even ask Justin Verlander because he did an extensive interview that called out the Tigers? staff for poor conditioning and ?misdiagnosing? him over a period of 3 years.

If you haven?t read it by now, the writer starts by describing JV?s ?scars? ? both physical and mental ? and his anger over that long journey to get healthy.

To understand the arduous, frustrating process, let?s explore the timeline and related information documented by both writer and JV in the article, sprinkled with a few bits of background information.
 
With his win over the #Athletics, Justin Verlander earned his 200th career win.

The Astros starter joins Bartolo Colon and C.C. Sabathia as the only active pitchers with 200 wins and 2,500 strikeouts.

His 200 wins are the most of any pitcher since he debuted in 2005.

Yeah local news had a segment on that.
 
When you make millions, you don't eat a Denny's. And obviously there is enough clients willing to pay $42 for a McCarthy Salad or a Asian Chicken salad to keep them on the menu. Relax.
