Verlander struggles, but avoids loss to Twins

DETROIT (AP) Justin Verlander still hasn't lost to the Minnesota Twins in more than three years, though he came awfully close on Thursday.

The Detroit Tigers ace left after the seventh inning with the game tied. He benefited from a four-run rally that got him off the hook for what would have been his first loss to the Twins since April 2010.

However, that didn't brighten his mood because an eighth-inning run was enough to give the Twins a 7-6 win over his Tigers.
