    After a long night, the Detroit Tigers were battling fatigue as much as the Seattle Mariners.

    Luckily for them, Justin Verlander made sure they didn't have much to do Thursday night.

    "I knew I was the only guy that got a good night's sleep, so I better do a good job," he said. "If I don't, my early flight was all for naught."

    Verlander allowed one run in eight innings as the Tigers beat the Mariners 4-1 after Detroit got home early in the morning after a game Wednesday night in Texas. Verlander pitched so quickly that the "night" game ended at dusk, with the final pitch coming just 16 minutes after sunset.
