Live Tigers blog: Verlander works around double in 1st

Top 1st: Tigers 0, Phillies 0

Justin Verlander dusted off Odubel Herrera with a fastball to leadoff the game, but Freddy Galvis turned on a heater and drilled it to left field for a one-out double.

No worries, though, as Verlander stranded the runner at second base by striking out Maikel Franco and getting Tommy Joseph to line out to the shortstop.
