He is the first pitcher to reach 20 wins before the end of August since Arizona's Curt Schilling in 2002. "There's been times I've picked these guys up and there's been times they've picked me up," Verlander said. "To get to 20 at this point in the season, obviously you can't do it all on your own. These guys have helped me along the way and today was a good example of that."

He's blessed with a very good arm, but he's also a pitcher." Verlander won his seventh consecutive start, giving up one run and three hits in seven innings. The 19 wins match his career high, set in 2009. "Do I know where I'm at?" Verlander said.
