Detroit’s Justin Verlander comes up just short in his bid for a third career no-hitter, as he has to settle for a one-hit, 5 – 0 shutout after Chris Iannetta leads off the 9th for the Angels with a double that lands on the left field foul line. Verlander retires the final three batters in order to earn only his second win of the year, after missing the start of the season to an injury and suffering from a lack of run support all season. It is the second time he loses a no-hit bid in the 9th inning.
