Tigers-Indians Preview 5-24-12
(AP) -- Justin Verlander is pitching like the reigning Cy Young Award winner he is for the Detroit Tigers.
His teammates hope their ace can continue his recent dominance and help the Tigers avoid being swept by the AL Central-leading Cleveland Indians on Thursday at Progressive Field.
After giving up a solo homer and one other hit in seven innings of a 3-1 win at Oakland on May 13, Verlander (5-1, 2.14 ERA) lost a no-hit bid with one out in the ninth on Josh Harrison's single in Friday's 6-0 win over Pittsburgh.
