Victor Martinez singled up the middle with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, for the Tigers.
That proved to be the only offensive production, though.
J.D. Martinez grounded into an impressive looking 6-4-3 double play to end the inning, keeping the game tied at 2.
Verlander strands 2 more in 5th
Justin Verlander appeared to be rolling in the fifth inning, after striking out Mallex Smith and getting Corey Dickerson to pop out to third base in a two-pitch at-bat.
But Verlander then allowed back-to-back Rays to reach, on a single from Evan Longoria and a walk -- Verlander's fourth -- to Logan Morrison.
