THE CANADIAN PRESS VIA AP FRED THORNHILL

NO HITTER NUMBER THREE FOR JUSTIN VERLANDER

Well Aaron Sanchez, Will Harris, Chris Devenski and Joe Biagini did not last long on this list! Their combined no hitter less than a month ago for the Astros has been since surpassed by a more traditional no hitter, one thrown by Justin Verlander. This is old hat for the future Hall of Famer. He did this twice before with the Tigers.
