The Orioles beat Justin Verlander and the Tigers 5-2 on Tuesday night, handing Verlander his first loss in 13 starts against the club.

"First couple of innings, everybody knows he throws 92, 93 and he gets his strikes, and works on his pitches," Adam Jones said.

"Fifth, sixth rolls around, you ain't touching him. We were able to get to him early. We were able to make him mad early and got him angry. That's what's cool. It's cool to see that."

Verlander felt like his command wasn't as sharp, and there were a lot of borderline pitches that the Orioles were able to lay off.

"The one that really hurt me, fastball-wise, was the one to Jones," he said. "You know first pitch, he was up there jumping, trying to ambush me first-pitch fastball, and I gave it to him. But it wasn't well-located, it was up and almost middle, outer half, right where he wanted it."
