Justin Verlander lost a bid for his third no-hitter when Chris Iannetta lined a leadoff double in the ninth inning that landed barely fair on the left-field line, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-0 Wednesday night. Trying to become the sixth major leaguer to throw three no-hitters, Verlander settled instead for a one-hit shutout. Verlander attempted to will it foul with body English, then arched his back in disappointment after the ball hit right on the line.
