Kansas City, Missouri. On Sunday, the Tigers sent their ace to the mound, and he was nothing but the ace he’s supposed to be. Their ace is Justin Verlander, who crowned the Royals and helped the Tigers earn three out of four against the Royals. Meanwhile, in Toronto, the Blue Jays soared over the Indians, which means the Tigers are atop the Central heading into the All Star break, where the Tigers will be well represented. Alex Avila, Miguel Cabrera, Jose Valverde and Justin Verlander will all be in Phoenix representing the Motor City kitties for the American League. They will open the second half at home in their jungle against the White Sox. The second half of America’s past time will determine who wins the Central.
