Verlander is clearly having issues lately. Is he terrible? No. But since his start on June 1st, he's had four average to below average outings. Allowed 7 HRs (3 each in back to back games), and hasn't held an opponent to less than 3 runs. ERA has ballooned from 2.16 to 2.67 (before tonight). Career high in HR/9, and a FIP all the way at 3.76.
That's solid for a #3 like Miley, but Verlander hasn't been pitching like an ace in June.
Thankfully the offense picked him back up in the bottom half.
6IP 3ER is a quality start. You're just spoiled.
