The Detroit Tigers will take on the Cleveland Indians on Saturday.
Whenever Justin Verlander takes the ball, a no-hitter is always possible. Verlander made a bid for his third career no-hitter before yielding a hit in the seventh inning against Houston in his last start. He opposes Ubaldo Jimenez, who once had that aura but is just trying to return to respectability these days.
