Reasons why players enjoy playing for the Tigers and manager Jim Leyland showed up again Monday.
A six run fourth inning set the tone for the Tigers as they trounce the Toronto Blue Jays 10-5 on Monday night.
Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander tossed his second no-hitter — no thanks to dozens of people who broke a very important unwritten rule.
Getting Jose Bautista and Aaron Hill back in the lineup wasn't enough to help the Toronto Blue Jays break out of their recent offensive funk. Their slump could continue Monday night when they face Max Scherzer and the Detroit Tigers in the finale of a four-game set.
Austin Jackson made it back-to-back three-hit games and his two-run home run, a slicing liner down the left-field line, broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh. "He's just putting the ball in play," manager Jim Leyland said.
Detroit signed Brad Penny to a $3 million base contract for this season figuring if his season flamed out like it did last year in St. Louis, it would only be on the hook for the guaranteed amount it took to lure him away from the competition.
Justin Verlander was picking up the check. The steaks and wine were on him, and why not?
The Tigers made it two straight over the Toronto Blue Jays with a 5-2 win at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.
Three reasons Justin Verlander was one of the Top 5 starting pitchers in baseball even before throwing a no-hitter Saturday at Toronto.
Brad Penny pitched well into the eighth inning and the Detroit Tigers followed Justin Verlander's no- hitter by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2 Sunday.
Justin Verlander threw the 2nd no-hitter of his career - and the 7th in Tigers history - beating the Blue Jays in Toronto, 9-0.
There's something very special about what happened in Toronto on Saturday. Justin Verlander threw a no-hitter, the second of his career and just the seventh ever by a Tiger pitcher. That's pretty amazing when you think about it, considering that the Tigers have been around for 110 years and have played at least 154 games in each of those seasons. That's about 17 thousand games if my math is correct.
Verlander barely missed a perfect game. He becomes the 30th pitcher in major league history to throw multiple career no- hitters.
Something was different at the Rogers Center on this Saturday afternoon (May 7, 2011). The roof was open for the first time all season and it might be the last time. Why? Because of Justin Verlander who started the game retiring 22 Blue Jays before walking J.P. Arencibia on a 3-2 count during a 12 pitch at bat.
It's a side note that the Tigers beat the Blue Jays 9-0 on Saturday afternoon, as Justin Verlander puts his name in the history books with a no-hitter against Toronto.

When he managed the Tigers, Sparky Anderson had two sayings he repeated over and over about mileposts in a given season.
Brennan Boesch is 4-for-7 in two games at the third spot in manager Jim Leyland's batting order.
It doesn't matter what the book of world records says, Jim Leyland now has the mark for holding one's breath.
Brennan Boesch homered and drove in three runs, and the Detroit Tigers took advantage of some sloppy fielding by the New York Yankees in a 6-3 victory Thursday.
