Verlander deals until Halos bust through in 8th

Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander nearly matched Chacin pitch-for-pitch, not surrendering his first baserunner until the fifth and striking out seven. He gave up the game's first run in the eighth, as Cliff Pennington's RBI single to left started a five-run inning to power the Angels to a win.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Chacin Control: Chacin was dominant against the Tigers, duking it out with Verlander and retiring the first 17 hitters of the game before Andrew Romine's two-out single in the sixth inning.The lone run came in the ninth on Victor Martinez's sacrifice fly.
