Verlander struck out nine batters and labored through 131 pitches on the night to end a string of two quality starts where he failed to get a win.
Both teams scored one run in the first and Brandon Inge hit a two-run home run in the fifth to put the Central Division-leading Tigers (7-3) ahead for good.
Kansas City starter Danny Duffy hung tough through six-and-two-third innings, striking out seven, but the Royals (3-7) could not avoid losing their fifth consecutive game.
