Justin Verlander lit up by streaking Indians
by Roy Widrig | Astros Correspondent | Mon, Jun 27th 8:20am EDT
The Cleveland Indians won their 9th-straight game on Sunday as they knocked around Justin Verlander. Over 4 2/3 innings, Verlander allowed eight runs on nine hits and a pair of walks, surrendering four home runs. He struck out five.
Fantasy Impact:
It seemed like Verlander had righted the ship after a string of effective outings, and he might just have been a victim of a red-hot Cleveland team. Either way, his ERA jumped from 3.78 to 4.30 and his record dropped to 7-6. He'll get the ice-cold Tampa Bay Rays in his next start.
