    Anibal Sanchez latest Tigers starter to get rocked

    In a 7-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on Saturday night, Sanchez lasted exactly as long as Verlander did Thursday night. Usually, that’s a good thing. Most of the time, lasting as long as Verlander, is something you want to do. Not in this series, though.
