Detroit right-hander Justin Verlander pitched his team to victory over the Oakland Athletics at O.co Coliseum. The final score was 4-1. Today's win puts Detroit at 52-66, while Oakland falls to 61-57.

Detroit used a well-timed hit by Charlie Gehringer to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Tigers ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Justin gets on the mound and he competes and that's what you want," said Detroit manager .
