Verlander Whiffs Season-High 11, Tigers Win Fifth Straight
Jim Leyland doesn't believe momentum exists in baseball because your next pitcher will dictate if you win or lose.
Justin Verlander disagrees, sensing the Detroit Tigers are starting to put it all together.
Verlander struck out a season-high 11 and Brennan Boesch hit a three-run homer, giving Detroit an 8-3 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday.
Detroit has won five straight, matching a season high.
