Verlander (16-3) did not give up a hit, walk or run in six innings of work to earn the win in a 4-2 victory over the Twins on Tuesday. He struck out 10.
Verlander continued his Cy Young-caliber campaign with six innings of no-hit ball and ultimately retired 18 of the 19 batters he faced. What's more, the only hitter to reach base against him was Nick Gordon off a wild pitch on a third strike in the second inning. Verlander will look to move into sole possession of the major-league lead in wins in his next expected start at Texas.
