You forgot the part where Porcello goes 4 1/3 and gives up 5 runs on 9 hits.

Okay, 2 runs through 6 1/3. Kinda-sorta close.

These guys, dare I say it, look like a playoff team.

Remember, earlier this week the Twins made the Orioles look like a playoff team.
We do that.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
Funny you should mention that. Karsch and Anderson looked up the stat on what starter gets the most run support. You guessed it, leading the pack with Scherzer next, then Verlander, then Penny. Not enough starts to rate Fister yet, but based on this four starts, he wouldn't overtake Porcello.
But, like MaizeRage said, Porcello gutted out a good performance based on 3 dp's, including that gift to the mound to start the 1-2-3 with the sacks juiced. The lineup is contributing offensively up and down, the defensive mistakes have been limited and the bullpen looks solid. I just wish the Skip would go for the jugular in the close games, though. Playing not to lose right now will not work.

20 in August!
Though not the greatest outing ever. Dang but the Twins liked fouling pitches off.

Not to look too far ahead, but the Tigers (73-59) are only 1 game behind the Rangers (75-59) right now in the race for the second seed in the AL and home field in the first round of the playoffs. I'm not hearing much about this race, but Verlander pitching at home in games 1 and 5 would give the Tigers a much better shot at winning the ALDS. If the Tigers and Rangers end up tied, the Tigers win the tiebreaker.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
Eh, Verlander is bound to have the occasional game where he's just merely human. I think it would help his confidence more to have a bad game like that for him to get to the 20 win mark than to pitch another gem where most of the time the infield guys are just siting around scratching themselves and watching to see how long a No-No goes.
