导出博客文章DETROIT -- A year after the Detroit Tigers traded away stars at the deadline,
Justin Verlander is trying to prevent that from happening again.You dont want to
be sellers. Obviously we went through that last year, and it was tough for
everybody here, especially when youve got a lot of guys in this clubhouse that
are used to winning, Verlander said. We are a good club, and weve just got to go
out there and prove it.Verlander struck out 10 in seven innings, and the Tigers
scored three runs in the seventh to rally past Kansas City 4-2 on Friday
night.Victor Martinez drove in two runs with a single in the seventh when his
comebacker deflected off reliever Joakim Soria and rolled to the area between
first and second. With the second baseman playing way out in shallow right
field, the Royals couldnt retire Martinez, and two runners scored on the play.Id
rather give up a double up the gap than do that, because I had a chance to get
us out of the inning, and I didnt take it, Soria said. I made the pitches, but
didnt field my position.Detroits Tyler Collins hit a solo homer earlier in the
inning off Luke Hochevar (1-2) to tie the game at 2. Ian Kinsler also homered
for the Tigers.Verlander (9-6) allowed one earned run and four hits. Justin
Wilson pitched the eighth and Francisco Rodriguez finished for his 25th save in
27 chances.Detroit traded David Price, Yoenis Cespedes and Soria during a
disappointing 2015. The Tigers have been better this year, but they came into
the day trailing by 6 1/2 games in the AL Central and by four in the race for a
wild card.Collins was called up from the minors before the game to replace
Justin Upton, who was put on the bereavement list. Collins was 2 for 22 with
Detroit this season before his seventh-inning homer tied the game. After
consecutive singles by Jose Iglesias and Kinsler, Soria came on and walked
Cameron Maybin to load the bases with one out.After falling behind 3-0 on Miguel
Cabrera, Soria recovered to strike out the Detroit slugger, but Martinez
followed with his grounder that turned into a two-run single.Verlander struck
out the side in the first, and Kinsler led off the bottom half with a homer, but
Detroit couldnt add to that lead. With men on first and second in the sixth,
Kansas Citys Salvador Perez lifted a deep drive to right that Steven Moya
couldnt handle. Perez ended up with an RBI double, and another run came home on
the play thanks to a throwing error by Kinsler.Kansas City starter Ian Kennedy
allowed a run and four hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked two and struck out
three.RETURNThe most memorable thing Collins did with the Tigers earlier this
season was extend a middle finger toward booing home fans back in April. He
heard plenty of cheers Friday after his big home run.It feels great, definitely,
Collins said. It feels better to get the win.RESPECTRoyals manager Ned Yost, who
was the American League skipper at the All-Star Game, talked a bit about
Cabreras gesture in Tuesdays game in which he insisted Kansas Citys Eric Hosmer
get another at-bat to try to boost his MVP case. Cabrera didnt replace Hosmer
until the seventh inning of that game.Whats really unique about the All-Star
Game for me is that you get 34 guys from different organizations that youre
screaming at and yelling at one day from across the field, but you walk into
that clubhouse door and its amazing how they unite into a team for two days,
Yost said.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: Yost said OF Lorenzo Cain (left hamstring) is
probably at about 85 percent. Cain is eligible to come off the DL whenever the
Royals feel hes ready.Tigers: Manager Brad Ausmus said LHP Daniel Norris (right
oblique) was probably a couple of days away from a bullpen session. ... RHP
Jordan Zimmermann (neck) said he would probably do long-toss Saturday.UP
NEXTRoyals: LHP Danny Duffy (4-1) starts Saturday night against the Tigers. He
has struck out at least seven hitters in four straight starts. The last Kansas
City pitcher to do it in five straight starts was Zack Greinke, when he won the
Cy Young Award in 2009.Tigers: RHP Mike Pelfrey (2-8) tries for his third
straight quality start.---Follow Noah Trister at

Bernier from Toronto on Friday in exchange for a conditional draft pick in
