    Jim Leyland would have loved to see Justin Verlander make a little more history on Saturday night.

    In a way, though, he's happy he didn't.

    Verlander allowed five runs in the first three innings, and ended up with a no-decision in Detroit's 6-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. That ended his winning streak at 12 straight and meant that he won't be the first 25-game winner in more than 20 years.
