Detroit Vs. Toronto

Now that the Detroit Tigers have finally recorded a post-All-Star break victory, they're hoping ace Justin Verlander can help them begin a run in a positive direction.

Verlander tries for a fourth straight win and first against the Toronto Blue Jays when these teams open a four-game series at Comerica Park on Thursday afternoon.

Detroit (49-44) snapped its season-high seven-game skid with a 4-1 win over Texas on Wednesday. The Tigers held a one-half game lead in the AL Central on July 10 but are 1-6 since the break and tied with Minnesota for second place behind the surging White Sox.
