Sabathia and Justin Verlander squared off in a marquee matchup of starting candidates for next week’s All-Star game. The Detroit Tigers knocked some of the luster off Sabathia’s sensational season. Gary Sheffield, Carlos Guillen, and Placido Polanco hit homers off Sabathia on Thurs- day, giving Detroit a 12-3 win over Cleveland and contribut- ing to the star pitcher’s worst game of the year and the Indi- ans’ most lopsided loss of the season. “Sometimes, you get those pitching matchups that don’t turn out quite like you thought they would,” Tiger manager Jim Leyland said. “Fortunately for us, it turned out our way.” Like Sabathia, Verlander gave up a home run in the first inning before outdueling the first pitcher in the majors to reach 12 wins. Verlander (10-3) gave up three runs — two earned — and six hits with seven strikeouts and no walks over seven innings. The 24-year-old right- hander struck out five batters in a row from the end of the third inning to the start of the fifth. “That’s a lot of equipment,” Leyland said. “You see guys throw 97, 98, but it’s really rare Paul Sancya/Associated Press that you see guys that young with three pitches like he has — Detroit Tiger Gary Sheffield connects for a two-run home run against Cleveland Indian pitcher fastball, curve ball, changeup — C.C.
