Justin Verlander allows four home runs in Triple-A rehab start

Justin Verlander made his second Triple-A rehab start with the Toledo Mud Hens on June 10, giving up four home runs in 5.2 innings against the Minneapolis-St. Paul affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. Verlander threw 86 pitches, with a fastball reaching 95 mph but struggled with his slider, leading to three of the four home runs. His performance follows the Twins' success against the Tigers in the major leagues, where they also hit four homers the previous night. Verlander is expected to throw a bullpen session this weekend in Cleveland before the Detroit Tigers decide on his activation from the injured list.
