Verlander (12-11) is 0-3 with three no-decisions in six starts since an Aug. 6 victory at Cleveland. The Tigers have dropped his past six starts and are 13-17 in his 30 starts this season. "I think he did a great job," Tigers catcher Brayan Pena said. "The pitch to Perez it was a pitch down. He struck out a lot of guys and he kept the ball down. It was just one pitch that hurt us." The Royals have won all five games Verlander has started against them this season. Verlander allowed four runs and eight hits in seven innings, while walking one and striking out seven. "You can say what you want, but Verlander is tough as nails," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Hes as good as they come. And weve done very well against him. Theyve all been nip-and-tuck, one-run games for the most part, but weve come out on top and thats all that matters." Wade Davis (7-10), the second of five Kansas City pitchers, picked up the victory on his 28th birthday, entering with the bases loaded and allowing just one runner to score when he walked Miguel Cabrera with the bases loaded after being down in the count 0-2. "Im comfortable in that situation, keeping a low heart rate," Davis said. "Ive faced him (Cabrera) a lot. I knew what he was trying to do.

Duffy allowed a Nick Castellanos infield single in the fifth, and with one out, walked Roman Santiago and Jackson on eight pitches to load the bases. Davis replaced Duffy and walked Cabrera to score Castellanos. "It took Duffy about five hitters to find his slot," Yost said. "Once he found it, he was pretty good from the second, third and fourth and started to lose it in the fifth. Thats when we brought Wade in and man what a great job he did. "Danny did a great job of keeping us in the game. Your pitch count can get up, but you cant let the game get away from you. Every time Danny has gotten big pitch counts or struggled with command, his stuff is so good, it keeps us in the game."
