Detroit — He said he’d dominate again and soon, and so many scoffed.
Now, at this rate, Justin Verlander could tell us Elvis is alive and well and working at Coney Island, and we’d kinda, sorta believe him.
Verlander was absolutely outstanding yet again Friday night, allowing no hits during a six-inning span before leaving to a King-like ovation as the Tigers beat the Los Angeles Angels, 4-2, at Comerica Park to draw even closer in the race for one of the American League’s two wild cards.
Verlander allowed two hits and a run in the first inning — the run on a no-doubt homer by Albert Pujols — and two hits and a run in the eighth inning, his last, and just a measly walk in between all that.
