Live Tigers blog: Verlander blinks, Chacin still perfect

Bottom 5th: Tigers 0, Angels 0

C.J. Cron became the first baserunner of the night for either team when he fought off a pitch from Justin Verlander and dropped it into shallow right field for a leadoff single.

Top 5th: Tigers 0, Angels 0

Your turn, Justin Verlander. Jhoulys Chacin put together another perfect inning and has retired the first 15 Tigers he's faced tonight.

Victor Martinez flew out to left field, Nick Castellanos became the seventh Tiger to strikeout and Justin Upton grounded out to end the inning.

I don't know where this performance has come form, but watching Chacin and Justin Verlander go back and forth is providing some intriguing drama.
