How do you Lose?
The Tigers ace pitched seven very strong innings, the 1-2 hitters did an excellent job setting the table, but Detroit fell to the Royals 4-3 in extra innings. Bonderman did not walk a batter, did not allow a home run and struck out six. Granderson and Polanco reached base five times in ten plate appearances, but only scored two runs. The support staff didn't get the job done. The 3-4-5 hitters combined for a 1 for 13 day with a walk, while the bullpen suffered from three trouble, allowed three hits, three walks and three runs in three innings. KC took the game 4-3 in ten innings, getting a good start from Meche and four strikeouts in two innings from winner Joakim Soria.

Bonderman and Verlander have now give up a combined 11 runs in 47 innings of pitching this season . . . and have 1 win between the two of them to show for it.
In light of that, we Tigers fans are lucky our team is 9-6.
