RUBBER MATCH TONIGHT

Once, again, no win for Justin Verlander.
Cincinnati batters took JV into deep counts and made him earn every out.
Verlander lasted 6 innings. He threw 127 pitches, allowed 6 hits, 3 walks and 9 Ks.
Prince Fielder hit a homer and drove in the winning run in a 3-2 Tigers' victory over the Reds.
Brayan Villarreal got the 'W'.
The Big Potato pitched the 9th for his 11th save.

A lot of Detroit fans made the trip to Cinci - they were scattered all over the park.

The attendance was announced as 42,443, the largest non-Opening Day, regular-season crowd in the 10-year history of Great American Ball Park.
