Tigers 3, Royals 1
DETROIT — Justin Verlander made a bid to become the second pitcher to throw back-to-back no-hitters before allowing an RBI triple to Kansas City's Melky Cabrera in the sixth. In his first start since throwing a no-hitter at Toronto on Saturday, Verlander pitched 5 2/3 hitless innings before Cabrera sent a drive to the gap in right-center. Verlander settled for allowing a run on two hits and three walks in eight innings. Austin Jackson and Jhonny Peralta hit solo homers for the Tigers.
