Colby Lewis leads Rangers to 4-0 win in Detroit

Despite Verlander’s lack of wins – the Tigers are 2-9 in his 11 starts – he has allowed one earned run in five of his last seven outings. Sanchez is out because of a strained right rotator cuff.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander took to social media to ask for a change. We still get hit.

“I was born passionate about baseball and the New York Yankees”. Just take away — we have enough stats in this game, I think you can break down numbers and say ‘OK this is where youre really in danger of the hard hit line drive, the low line drive that just misses the dugout. “The defense is more into it, in theory”. 400 over his last five games with three doubles, a homer and four RBIs.

Texas averaged 5.9 runs while winning six of its previous seven, but Rougned Odor’s double in the fifth was all it could muster Thursday as it dropped a fourth straight meeting.

Cabrera made it 3-0 in the fifth, driving in Ian Kinsler with a single, while Martinez added a sacrifice fly in the seventh.

Castellanos singled with the bases loaded in the first inning to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Veteran left hander makes his first start of the season when he opposes Milwaukee on Saturday. He surrendered only one hit and needed to manage only five baserunners all through the diversion.

“You start in spring training and even in the off-season to be in this spot”, said Gallardo, who allowed eight hits, walked but one and struck out four.

“What else has to happen for nets to go up?” “It’s not really my call, but I do think it’s something that should be looked at”. Seriously? I’m as big a Tigers fan as anybody and there’s a zero percent chance that I have my eye on every single pitch thrown during the course of a game.

Don’t let the Milwaukee Brewers’ track record the past four seasons hide the fact that Yovani Gallardo has pitched in a pennant race and pitched in the postseason.

The starter struck out Marwin Gonzalez and Carlos Correa in that frame, a foreboding sign of things to come.

“I’m throwing pretty much the same stuff I’ve thrown since I was 25 years old”, Wolf said. “He was incredibly sharp”.

It was Archer’s third career shutout and second against the Astros, having also blanked them in 2013.

Current Rangers are hitting. Fielder said before the game. He’s the real deal. “If tonight doesn’t get it done, what will?”

Collin McHugh (13-7) suffered the mound loss.

Salvador Perez had two of the Royals’ six hits.
