Former Detroit Tigers right-handed hurler Justin Verlander had a banner year in 2011. Verlander earned the fourth All-Star selection of his rising career, was named the AL MVP and won the first of his two AL Cy Young Awards, as well as the vaunted Triple Crown. If that wasn’t enough, Verlander tossed the second no-hitter of his career, an utterly dominating 9-0 blanking of the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on May 7, 2011. Verlander struck out 4 batters and walked another during the game that gave a glimpse of the season to come.
