VIDEO: Tigers' John Hicks Spoils Justin Verlander's Outing With Go-Ahead 9th-Inning Homer

Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander welcomed his former team, the Detroit Tigers, to Minute Maid Park on Wednesday night and was having his way with them. Entering the ninth inning, Verlander surrendered just one run on one hit (a solo home run), while striking out 10 Detroit batters with the game tied 1-1. That changed once Tigers catcher John Hicks stepped up to the plate and launched a solo homer to left-center field to give Detroit the very late lead.

Hick's shot proved to be the winning run as Justin Verlander's gem was marred with a dreaded "L." What a turn of events.
