"What makes him good is that he can change speeds," Ortiz said. "When he
struck me out [in the first], he threw a fastball and then three changeups in
a row and then a fastball at 98. That's pretty good. That's what pitching is
all about."
Not only did the Tigers need Verlander to pitch well, this game was about him
pitching deep. With long relievers Wilfredo Ledezma and Jason Grilli
available only in an emergency along with lefty Tim Brydak, Leyland joked
before the game that Verlander was his long reliever.
"Seemed like the first hitter of every inning ... he got us out quick," Red
Sox manager Terry Francona said. "We were trying to work pitch counts. He was
ready to pitch right away every inning. He features some of the best stuff in
the league."
Seven strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings steadily raised the pitch count. Yet
Verlander (4-1), who battled bronchitis in his last outing, had enough
strength going that the pitches had little effect on his stuff until the very
end. He hit 99 mph on his 108th pitch of the night for a called third strike
to end the seventh.
"I felt like the ball was coming out of my hand pretty good," Verlander said.
"I felt like I was throwing it pretty good, pretty hard tonight."
It was good enough at that point that Leyland had no hesitation about sending
him out for the eighth with the top of the Red Sox order due up, though he
didn't want him topping 120 pitches. Verlander was ready so quickly that the
sellout crowd of 37,031 was still singing Sweet Caroline without the music as
Verlander fired away at Alex Cora.
Cora struck out swinging at a curveball, then leadoff man Julio Lugo hit a
comebacker. After a first-pitch ball, he went with a 97-mph fastball on his
120th pitch of the night, which Youkilis drove deep into center field.
"Yeah, he hit that one into the night," Leyland said. "That was a bomb, but
it only counted once."
By then, the Tigers had long since built a lead to withstand that. After
Brandon Inge's solo homer in the third ended a 16-inning scoreless streak for
Wakefield, Curtis Granderson and Gary Sheffield singled to set up Magglio
Ordonez, 13-for-30 lifetime off Wakefield and a .356 career hitter at Fenway
entering the night. Ordonez drove a Wakefield knuckleball over the Green
Monster and out of the park for a three-run homer.
Wakefield (4-4) lasted seven-plus innings, but his five runs allowed marked
the most he'd given up all season. Ivan Rodriguez, Craig Monroe and Sean
Casey added consecutive RBI hits off Brendan Donnelly in the eighth.
Wakefield said afterward that the third-inning outburst essentially decided
the game. Verlander isn't quite at the point yet where opponents have to feel
that way going in, but outings like this suggest don't go unnoticed.
"I think the big thing for him is when he gets consistently where he can
throw at pitch at any time in the count," Leyland said.
Tuesday suggested he's not far off.
"The guy is throwing 95 to 100 miles per hour with a good breaking ball and a
changeup he mixes in every once in a while," Red Sox catcher Doug Mirabelli
said. "It's a tough day. There's nothing you can do about it."
