Justin Verlander vs. Jeff Niemann

PORT CHARLOTTE -- Getting four-hit shutout, the Rays lose today's preseason matchup against the Tigers.

Curtis Granderson gave the Tigers the big blow in the ninth with a huge three-run homer. The Rays got four hits in the first three innings, and the Tigers bullpen was perfect the rest of the game to surely protect the win.
