Verlander Finds Bottle of His Favorite Wine Waiting at His Locker After Elusive 1st Win with Giants
FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, JUL 23 – Verlander overcame injuries and command struggles to end a 16-start winless streak, the longest in Giants history, pitching five scoreless innings in a 9-3 win, officials said.
- In his 17th start, Justin Verlander finally earned his first win with the Giants during a 9-3 victory at Truist Park on Wednesday, ending the longest winless drought in franchise history.
- A strained right pectoral muscle, five walks, and only 26 runs support in 16 starts shaped Verlander’s extended winless streak.
- Verlander delivered five scoreless innings, allowing one hit and five walks, bolstered by Rafael Devers' four RBIs and two homers, securing the win.
- The win, according to Giants manager Bob Melvin, `To get through the first was huge for us` and ended Verlander's 16-game drought.
- Looking ahead, the Giants' winless streak and Verlander's active wins lead position them for a stronger playoff push, impacting long-term team prospects.
