  That is correct. He started the 9th inning vs the Royals earlier this year at 126 pitches and threw his 136th pitch 101 MPH. It wasn't even for a shutout. They ride him hard.
  
  Another great job by Masterson to work out of a jam.

  So is Masterson going back in for the 8th?

  I thought I saw something about that.
  
  As you can probably tell, I'm not a fan of this pitch count bullcrap.

  Pestano time.

  At work unfortunately, but just caught an update. Hopefully we can hold on! Great job by Masterson today.
• TBone14

  

  Pestano gets the 1-2-3 in the 8th but his 23 straight appearances with a strikeout streak has ended.
  
  I doubt he cares. He got the job done.

  It would be nice to tack on just one more here.

  alright, cp, let's get nasty
• TBone14

  

  JV just blows through Choo, Kipnis and Cabrera. Strikes out the side in 11 pitches.
  
  Rage in for the 3rd day in a row.
• OneBuckeye

  

  And Verlander strikes out the side....

  I have to agree with you. A sweep definitely seems possible.
