| Justin Verlander battling through 'peaks and valleys' |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(10:04 am ET) Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander dropped to 4-3 with a 5.91 ERA in his last eight starts after Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Orioles, in which he allowed five runs in five innings. Like the rest of the baseball world, Verlander is well aware he's not pitching up to standards.
"It’s been a battle so far," Verlander said, per MLB.com. "Obviously, you have that stretch of three or four starts where it was pretty frustrating. You know, I guess I’m always trying to get better, and I feel like I’ve made adjustments to get to that point.
"I feel like I’ve been getting better, better, and better. That’s not necessarily going to work towards a perfect game, but you’re not going to get better every time. There’s ups and downs, peaks and valleys, (Tuesday) was just one of those nights where two long balls hurt me. You know who knows what happens if I’m able to execute those pitches a little bit better. I’m not saying that I regressed, it’s just one of those games. This is Major League Baseball, you’re not going to be perfect every time."

| Justin Verlander has hiccup against Baltimore |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6/18/13) Tigers starter Justin Verlander suffered his shortest career outing against the Baltimore franchise Tuesday night at home. Baltimore battered Verlander over just five innings as the starter took the loss.
Verlander, who falls to 8-5 with the defeat, allowed five earned runs on seven hits and four walks over his five innings. He needed 102 pitches and struck out five batters. Verlander was hurt in the fourth inning by a J.J. Hardy two-run homer. He gave up a three-run blast to Adam Jones in the fifth.
He had won his previous four consecutive decisions over five solid outings before losing Tuesday. He has 106 strikeouts over 92 innings and should be able to bounce right back on Sunday against Boston.

by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

Verlander allowed three hits, all singles, and two walks in the game, while striking out eight batters. He threw 79 of 117 pitches for strikes in the outing, as his ERA fell to 3.41.
The Tigers lost, 3-2.

by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(6/7/13) Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander allowed three runs in seven innings Friday against the Indians, the third start in a row he has done so.
Verlander opened the game with four shutout innings while the team built a 5-0 lead, and he did enough to make that lead stand up. He allowed three runs in the fifth inning, on five hits, including a double by Jason Kipnis that drove in two runs.
Verlander allowed the three runs on seven hits and two walks, while striking out six batters. He won his fourth start in a row, 7-5, to push his record to 8-4. Verlander has a 3.71 ERA on the season, but he has allowed at least three runs in six straight starts.

| Justin Verlander pitches around homers in win |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(6/1/13) Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander allowed two home runs for the first time since last July Saturday against the Orioles, but he still earned his third win in a row.
Verlander allowed a pair of solo home runs to J.J. Hardy, one in the third and another in the fifth, but held the Orioles to just three runs on eight hits overall in seven innings of work. Verlander walked one and struck out five, his lowest total in three starts.
Verlander threw 73 of 112 pitches for strikes, as his ERA rose slightly to 3.70. He is now 7-4 on the season after the 10-3 win.
Verlander will go for his fourth win in a row in his next start, Friday against the Indians.

| Justin Verlander did not win his second consecutive American League Cy Young award last season, but it wasn't for lack of trying. He struck out batters at a slightly higher rate, gave up homers at a lower rate and tossed two more complete games than he did in 2011. Even though Verlander saw increases in his ERA (from 2.40 to 2.64) and WHIP (0.92 to 1.06), his skill set showed no signs of erosion. He is likely to be the first pitcher to come off the board in many leagues, and there are plenty of good reasons for it, starting with four straight years of 220-plus innings, 200-plus strikeouts and no more than 71 walks. Because there are a few other candidates in the first-pitcher-to-be-drafted discussion, such as Clayton Kershaw, David Price and Felix Hernandez, you don't need to use a first-round pick on Verlander, though if you did, it wouldn't be the worst use of a high-value pick.
