Live Tigers blog: Verlander, Chacin dialed in early on

Bottom 3rd: Tigers 0, Angels 0

And the beat goes on...

Each team has gone through its order once now and neither has been able to put a man on base. In fact, the two starting pitchers have combined to strike out nine of the 18 batters to come to the plate.

Cliff Pennington struck out looking, Carlos Perez struck out swinging and Gregorio Petit flew out to center field to end the inning.

Justin Verlander is dialed in and now it's time to see who can get through the second time around the orders unscathed.
