Filthy, nasty - choose your adjective for what Justin Verlander is throwing out there tonight. The Tigers needed a stellar effort from him, and so far, they've gotten it.

Even better, the lineup has scored some runs for him. Magglio Ordonez whipped a two-run, two-out double in the third inning, and Brandon Inge continued his hot hitting from earlier today, smacking a two-run double of his own with the bases loaded.

Tigers 5, Twins 0 as we go to the sixth inning.
