Verlander Struggles Early in Tigers Return vs. Diamondbacks

Justin Verlander struggled in his return to the Detroit Tigers, allowing five runs in just three innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Corbin Carroll hit a three-run home run as Verlander yielded five runs on five hits in his first start since Aug. 30, 2017. The 43-year-old veteran was emotional walking onto the field but could not find his rhythm early before being pulled after 3+ innings.
