Finding His Range

The wind is blowing in at Comerica, but Miguel Cabrera hits a line drive below the jet that clears the fence in left. The solo shot gives the Tigers a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth.

Update: Gordon hits a two-run homer off Verlander in the top of the sixth to cut the lead to 3-2.

Update: Buck and Teahen single to start the seventh to put runners at first and third for the Royals, and that's all for Verlander. He struck out six and walked just one through 6+ innings. Grilli will try to put out the fire, which must be tough for a guy named after a cooking appliance. :-)

Update: Buck picks up the third single of the inning, tying the game at three.

Update: Grudzielanek reaches for the fourth time in the game, a single that drives in the go-ahead run. Verlander went from an excellent outing to a 4-3 deficit in two innings. We'll see if the Tigers offense can bail him out of the loss.
