Justin Verlander goes into the All-Star break on a high note, pitched a short shutout against the Indians as Detroit wins 10-1. Verlander strikes out eight in seven innings of work. That gives him 149 K in 122 1/3 innings this season. He got plenty of offensive support as Clete Thomas missed the cycle by a double, Marcus Thames went four for four, and Brandon Inge his two home runs. With 21 homers, Inge reaches 20 for just the second time in his career. The three combined to drive in nine runs and score seven.
