The Orioles kept Justin Verlander from recording his 25th win of the season by hammering him for five runs in the first three innings on Saturday. Verlander ended up with a no-decision in Detroit's 6-5 comeback victory. He had won his previous 12 starts. He would have been the first 25-game winner in 20 years. "Our guys were really trying to get back into the game and help Justin get that win, but in some ways, it is better that it is over," manager Jim Leyland said. "Now he doesn't have to answer questions every day about the streak and he doesn't have to answer questions about 25 wins. He can just get ready for his first start in the playoffs." Verlander, who last lost on July 15, was bidding to become the first pitcher to win 13 starts in a row since Ellis Kinder of the Red Sox in 1949.
