Detroit's Justin Verlander hurls eight innings of one-hit ball
Detroit Tigers pitch Justin Verlander allowed just one hit as he pitched eight shutout innings in Wednesday night's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means:
In the Tigers' 10-0 blowout victory, the 34-year-old struck out six, walked three and allowed his first and only hit with two outs in the sixth. That was enough for his eighth win in 24 starts this season.
Last night's performance made it 5 straight quality starts for Verlander, who is now 3-0 with a 3.25 FIP and 10.0 strikeouts per 9 innings in that span. Whether he stays in Detroit or is moved to a team like the Houston Astros, our models like the veteran to finish the year with 4 more wins and 53 strikeouts in 57-plus innings.
