BALTIMORE, July 20 (UPI) -- Justin Verlander came within one out of a complete game Sunday when the Detroit Tigers registered a 5-1 win at Baltimore.
In 8 2/3 innings, Verlander (8-9) gave up the earned run and only three hits.

Detroit got two hits and two RBI from Ryan Rayburn, solo homers from Magglio Ordonez and Marcus Thames, and Brandon Inge's eighth-inning RBI groundout.
Thames, Ordonez and two others each had two hits for the Tigers, who earned a four-game series split.
Baltimore's lone run scored on Luke Scott's second-inning double.
Millar and Guillermo Quiroz had the other hits for the Orioles, who suffered their 15th straight loss.
Losing pitcher Brian Burres (7-6) gave up three earned runs on six hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings with five strikeouts.
