Crazy thing is that it was Verlander who almost broke it.

Alverez was in the on deck circle. PH Dobbs was at the plate when the wild pitch occurred.

Here's an interesting little bit of baseball trivia:

According to the Baseball Almanac, through the 2012 season about 21.5% of all the no-hitters recorded in Major League history were thrown in the month of September -- the most in any month of the season by a pretty wide margin (May is second at 16.7%).

I don’t like what I saw from the Tigers this weekend. Not good at all.

I think they’re sandbagging while it doesn’t matter.

Septembers are generally less humid than any other month of the MLB season (except maybe April). Hitters do better in the humidity as the ball tends to travel more in humid weather. On top of that, pitchers tire more quickly in the humidity and their pitches tend to lose some speed as a result.

What I like best about September is that the mosquitos are mostly gone. I can walk in the woods again.

Too bad they don't have any fans there to watch it happen.
