With game called, Justin Verlander sees long streak end
Already perhaps done anyway, Justin Verlander‘s streak of 63 straight starts
of at least six innings came to an end Tuesday when the Tigers-Red Sox game
was delayed by rain and then called in the top of the sixth.
Ironically, Verlander got a complete game for his effort in the 4-1 loss to
Boston.
Verlander was off right from the start, but he escaped with a scoreless first
after throwing 35 pitches in the frame. The Red Sox got to him for all four
runs in the fourth, a frame in which he even walked in a run. The Tigers had
a reliever up in the pen in the fourth, and given that he was at 107 pitches
after five, he really shouldn’t have come back out for the sixth anyway.
Verlander’s previous start of less than six innings took place on Aug. 17,
2010, when he gave up three runs in five innings and walked five in a loss to
the Yankees. His streak of six-plus innings start was the third longest
during the expansion era, trailing only Bob Gibson (78) and Steve Carlton
(69). The next longest streak since 2000 belonged to Mark Buehrle, with 49
straight for the White Sox in 2004-05.

因雨只打到六局上 V中年只投五局(球數107-64)
IP H R ER BB SO ERA
5.0 6 4 3 4 6 2.63 L 11-7
不但吞下敗投 連續63場先發至少都投滿6局的紀錄也中斷了
他上次投不滿六局是2010年8月對上NYY的比賽(今年ASG當然不算)
無緣挑戰Carlton的69場跟Gibson的78場
近幾年來的紀錄而是Buehrle之前在白襪創的49場(也早就被V中年所打破)
