Double Trouble for SF Giants: Logan Webb Gets Roughed up, Verlander Goes to IL
- The San Francisco Giants lost 8-4 to the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday, concluding a nine-game homestand at home.
- The Giants were dealt a blow as Justin Verlander was sidelined with a pectoral strain, resulting in him being placed on the injured list and expected to be absent for a minimum of two upcoming appearances.
- In the game, ace pitcher Logan Webb struggled, allowing a season-high 10 hits and leaving after four innings, while the Royals used a bullpen strategy to secure the win.
- Verlander's fastball reached 93 mph, but he walked five batters and struggled with location, and he said the injury is unrelated to his previous neck nerve issue which sidelined him two months last year.
- The Giants missed a chance to go 10 games over.500 and will begin a nine-game road trip, with manager Bob Melvin expressing confidence in the rotation despite Verlander's absence.
