--RHP Justin Verlander lost his fourth straight start Monday. 

Manager Jim Leyland can't understand why Gary Sheffield is complaining about being the designated hitter after agreeing to do so when the Tigers obtained him from the New York Yankees and signed him to a three-year contract. 

It appears unlikely the Toronto Blue Jays will end their 14-year streak without a division title, but the club isn't conceding the wild-card race yet, thanks in large part to A. 

The Tigers' Justin Verlander is mired in the worst four-game stretch of his career, a career which began with a string of feats no pitcher had accomplished in baseball history.
