Shoemaker (8-3) threw just 78 pitches through seven innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out five against a lineup that came in leading the AL in batting average, hits, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. The only hits off the right-hander were Ian Kinslers first-inning double and singles by Eugenio Suarez and Austin Jackson. Kevin Jepsen pitched a perfect eighth and Jason Grilli got the last three outs. Jepsen has allowed only one earned run over his last 31 2-3 innings and 35 appearances. The AL Central leaders were shut out for the fifth time this season, and their division lead over Kansas City was reduced to five games. Verlander (9-9) allowed three runs and six hits in seven innings with four strikeouts and a walk. The 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner was the latest in a series of All-Stars that Shoemaker has more than held his own against this season -- including Cliff Lee, David Price, James Shields, Chris Sale and Yu Darvish. The rookie is 4-0 in those starts with a 2.27 ERA. Navarro found the seats above the 18-foot wall in right-centre on a 1-1 pitch from Verlander, who has given up at least one homer in 10 of his last 12 starts. On Friday night, Navarro singled home the go-ahead run against Drew Smyly in a 2-1 victory after the Tigers lefty struck out eight of his first 10 batters and 11 overall.

Left fielder Josh Hamilton sat out because of a sore left knee. Aybar came in with 51 RBIs, the most among AL shortstops, and was 9 for 27 in his career against Verlander. Nine-time Gold Glove winner Torii Hunter robbed Mike Trout of a hit in the first with a tumbling, shoestring catch in short right field.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus received an automatic ejection from plate umpire Cory Blaser in the third after he came out of the dugout to argue a call that was reversed after a video review. NOTES: Verlander, third on the Tigers career strikeout list behind Mickey Lolich and Jack Morris, has 28 double-digit strikeout games in his big league career -- but none this year in 22 starts. This is the deepest hes gone into a season without one since 2006, his first year as a full-time starter in the majors, when he made 30 starts and had no more than eight Ks in any of them. ...

Verlander was the second overall selection in the 2004 draft behind San Diego Padres pick Matt Bush, who never played in the big leagues. Three of the top seven selections in that draft have pitched no-hitters, including Homer Bailey (two) and Philip Humber (perfect game). ' ' '
