The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the Cleveland Indians moving within one game of the first-place Detroit Tigers is Cy Young Award candidate Justin Verlander.

Austin Jackson searched 14 innings for a hit and didn't find one. Jackson went 0-for-6 and is now hitting .243.

These are the "Dog Days" of summer for Major League Baseball , when teams that were riding high in the spring are fading under the hot July and August skies. And as we move into the second week of August, the Tigers are riding high in first place in the American League Central, with a four game lead over second place Cleveland .
