Detroit Tigers ace Justin
Verlander just missed his 3rd career no-hitter on Wednesday night in
a 5-0 win over the Angels.  Verlander had
his no hit bid broken up when Chris Iannetta laced a double down the left field
line to lead off the 9th.  The
righty settles for a one hitter.   Just
five pitchers have thrown three career no hitters.
