Miguel Cabrera is the unquestioned best hitter in baseball, but Austin Jackson is more valuable to the Tigers right now.
We know Jim Leyland doesn't like to talk about his lineups!
Verlander is on pace to go 19-12 with a 3.74 ERA and 249 strikeouts this season.
J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones homered off Justin Verlander to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
Jinx or no jinx, the Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera certainly has not been slowed by his appearance with Prince Fielder on last week's cover.
Fans at Comerica Park Monday night got their money's worth. With the bases loaded and a 3-2 count, one of the American League's best pitchers stared down one of the league's hottest-hitting sluggers.
By and large, Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland is okay with the second-guessing.
136 players have hit at least 300 home runs. That's a fairly distinctive achievement in its own right. Of those 136, only eight have also won nine or more Gold Gloves.
Jim Leyland has made it clear; he's not talking about his closer and I guess I don't blame him.
Max Scherzer improved to 10-0 and struck out 10, Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer and the Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Monday night.
The Tigers have announced that SP Anibal Sanchez and C Alex Avila are headed to the DL.
If someone had said before this season that Max Scherzer, not Justin Verlander, would be the pitcher with the team's best record by mid-June, few would have believed it.
Doug Fister held Minnesota hitless until the sixth inning and Torii Hunter connected for his 300th career home run, leading the Detroit Tigers over the Twins 5-2 Sunday.
P.J. Walters outdueled the Detroit Tigers' Doug Fister in his season debut with the Minnesota Twins but unearned runs have helped spoil a pair of respectable outings for the right-hander recently.
