Live Tigers blog: Verlander settling in against Philly

Top 3rd: Tigers 1, Phillies 0

Philadelphia has put a man on base in each of the first three innings, but the result for all three has been the same as Justin Verlander has been able to work around some minor mistakes.

Verlander issued a two-out walk to Odubel Herrera but bounced back to strike out Freddy Galvis to get out of the third inning.

Verlander threw 22 pitches in the inning after lengthier battles with Herrera and Galvis, but he's still in pretty good shape at 44.

Tyler Goeddel flew out to center field and Peter Bourjos did the same to start the inning.
