Detroit — It's not his first time back in Detroit, and Wednesday won't be his first start back in Detroit with the Houston Astros.
Been there, done that.
That's not to say it's still not an overwhelming time for Verlander, who chummed around with Miguel Cabrera, Jack Morris and others before the series opener Monday night.
"Any time I'm gonna come back here, no matter how long it's been or how many times, it will be a pretty nerve-wracking experience," Verlander said, perched comfortable in the visitor's dugout about two hours before first pitch Monday.
