Games 132-34 @ MIN

W: 10-2
Has Jaime Garcia (W, 7 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, BB) undone the Tigers lefty curse? (It's a long story.) Otherwise, Jose Altuve had a 4 hit day. Miguel Cabrera drove in 5. Francisco Liriano got charged with 7 ER.

W: 2-0
Runners left on base don't come back to hurt the Tigers. Both RBI came off the bats of Altuve and Braun, respectively in the 6th. Doug Fister threw 7 innings of shutout ball. Craig Kimbrel converted a one-out save with the tying run at the plate.

W: 12-0
Justin Verlander was lifted with one out in the 9th to preserve his shutout, in a game where he crossed the 200 strikeout threshold on the season. Cabrera and Jones homer twice. 10 runs cross the plate in the middle innings.
