TORONTO — Justin Verlander was picking up the check. The steaks and wine were on him, and why not?

He had just pitched the second no-hitter of his career, and after he made sure the Blue Jays pretty much came nowhere near the ball, he made sure his teammates came nowhere near the bill.

Fresh off the 9-0 victory, Verlander went for dinner at Barberian’s Steak House in downtown Toronto.

“A great night,” Verlander said. “It was fantastic. Probably one of the best dinners I’ve ever had.”

Catcher Alex Avila, pitchers Rick Porcello and Max Scherzer, utilityman Don Kelly and video coordinator Jeremy Kelch joined Verlander for an evening of food, drink and cigars in the wine cellar of the historic restaurant.

“To be honest, the thing I’m going to remember is having dinner with those guys,” Verlander said.

Verlander faced the minimum 27 batters. His only blemish was an eighth-inning walk on a 3-2 fastball to rookie catcher J.P. Arencibia.
