Justin Verlander mowed down 12 Texas batters as the Detroit Tigers defeated
the Texas Rangers by the score of 7 to 3 at Ameriquest Field.
 
Verlander(2-2) contributed a very nicely pitched game.  He allowed only 8 hits
and 3 walks in 9 innings reducing his ERA from 4.33 to 4.06.  Detroit banged
out 14 hits on the afternoon.  
 
The loss was charged to Vicente Padilla(3-3).  He allowed a few too many
baserunners giving up 13 hits and 5 walks in 8 and 1/3 innings.  
 
Chris Centorcelli was impressed with Verlander and his 12 strikeouts.  'It's
tough to generate runs if you can't make contact with the ball.'
