    Valverde's run at club's saves record on hold

    KANSAS CITY -- The day after Jose Valverde tied Willie Hernandez's
     Tigers record for consecutive saves in a season, he was
    guaranteed to share the mark for at least couple more days.
    Manager Jim Leyland gave Valverde an off-day on Sunday after he
    pitched four out of the previous five days.

    Valverde's save in Saturday night's 4-3 win over the Royals was
    his 32nd in as many chances this year. It's the longest
    single-season streak by any Major League reliever since Joakim
    Soria converted 36 consecutive saves last year, and the longest to
     begin a season since Brad Lidge saved 41 straight for the
    Phillies in 2008.

    Saturday's save was the ninth of Justin Verlander's 16 wins this
    season that Valverde has closed. Understandably, Verlander had a
    good amount of praise for what Valverde has accomplished.


    "It's amazing," Verlander said. "You look at his body of work, and
     they're usually not easy saves. A lot of them are one-run games."

    Leyland was asked on Saturday about similarities between Valverde
    and Hernandez.

    "I guess the fact that they were both really good under pressure,"
     Leyland said. "Obviously, one of them's left [handed] and one's
    right. But if I remember right, [Hernandez] had a good screwball
    and a changeup. There's similarities in the jobs getting done,
    that's for sure."
