The Detroit Tigers are flying high following their three-game sweep of the visiting New York Mets at Comerica Park this week. Not only did the Motor City Kitties take a trio from the franchise with the most money sunk into player contracts but they also defeated a pair of former Tigers who are Hall of
Let me make this easy for Justin Verlander. He was a Detroit Tiger. He still feels like a Tiger. And he will forever be a Tiger. This is why any conversation or confusion over which cap Verlander will wear on his Hall of Fame plaque is a little silly. Anyone can look at the stats,

And that’s exactly how his first start for the New York Mets played out on Thursday afternoon, as Verlander’s former team got the last laugh in a 2-0 win to
Detroit — It got a bit lost in the hubbub of the Tigers’ fourth-inning knockout of Max Scherzer and their doubleheader sweep of the mighty Mets Wednesday night, but Michael Lorenzen spun by far his best start of the season and the way he went about it could be a precursor of more success ahead.
Justin Verlander eventually settled in. But the Detroit Tigers scored two runs before he could find his groove, courtesy of back-to-back home runs in the first inning, and rode the early runs to a 2-0 victory over the New York Mets to sweep the three-game series.
