Verlander (3-1) earned the win Tuesday, allowing five hits and one walk over six scoreless innings in a 7-3 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out nine.
Fantasy managers got vintage Verlander Tuesday, as the veteran racked up a season-high strikeout total while posting his third shutout effort. The performance represented a welcome resurgence for Verlander, who had allowed 10 runs and struck out 13 batters during his last three starts (18 innings). He's lined up to make his next appearance during a three-game series rematch against Boston at Fenway Park next week.
