Verlander, who debuted in 2005, has won 262 games over the past 19 seasons in the Major League. He ranks first among active players.스포츠토토
If he wins with 38 wins, he will join the 300-win club, which is the only 24 players in the history of Major League Baseball. He is a candidate who can be expected to join the 300-win club for the 25th time since Tom Glavin (305 wins) in 2007.
However, his 263rd career victory flew in front of him.
Verlander pitched well against the Los Angeles Angels in the 2025 Major League Baseball at the Anaheim Stadium of Anaheim on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) with two hits (one homer) with six strikeouts, two walks, and one run in six innings.
He handed over the mound to the bullpen in the seventh inning with a 3-1 lead.
San Francisco added one run in the eighth inning, indicating Verlander's 263 career wins.
However, Verlander's victory was blown away after failing to withstand three outcounts in the ninth inning.
Ryan Walker, who took the mound to finish the game, got off to a shaky start as he walked leadoff hitter Mike Trout to get on base. He allowed Jorge Soler to have a hit in the middle, putting him on the verge of hitting the first and second bases with no outs.
Walker took a breather when he struck out a surprised Shannell. However, he faced a one-out full base crisis when he gave up a left-handed hit to Logan Obe.
Walker failed to regain stability. In a showdown with pinch hitter Zack Neto, he had a ball count advantageous at 1-2, but allowed a point to push the ball away with a hit ball.
Then came the next batter, Joe Adele, who doubled to left field. Not only did Verlander's victory flied away as the tying runner, second base runner, and San Francisco suffered a finishing loss, 4-5.
It is all the more painful for Verlander to display his most stable pitching performance this season. Verlander has no win in his past four appearances. In his first appearance, he pitched well against Cincinnati with two runs in five innings, but failed to become a winning pitcher. In his second appearance, he was sluggish in allowing three runs in 2.1 innings against the Seattle Mariners, and in his third appearance, he suffered his first loss of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies by allowing four runs in 5.2 innings.
Nevertheless, Verlander showed satisfaction with the pitch, let alone blaming his teammate for the victory.
"I feel better. I felt I was moving in the right direction," he said. "It was nice to give my team a chance to win today."
Verlander shines in the third inning of the Cy Young Award, and is one of the best pitchers to record the most innings, strikeouts and wins among active players.
He entered his 20th major league season this winter, signing a $15 million one-year contract with San Francisco.
Last season, he started only 17 games due to shoulder and neck injuries, and was sluggish with an 8.10 ERA in the last seven games. ESPN explained that as the strikeout rate fell and the number of homers rose at the same time, there were signs of career aging. ESPN added, "Verlander had his worst season of his career, and likewise joined the San Francisco Giants, who are aiming for better results than the 2024 season."
This season, Verlander showed a strong willingness to revive as he challenged a new grip at the age of 42.
To add more horizontal movement, the team has changed its grip on the curveball. "We have an internal Hawkeye tool that will tell us how to get more movement with a little adjustment of the grip," San Francisco coach Martinez said during the spring camp. "The Verlander has a big interest in the Hawkeye. He wanted to use it in a low-leverage environment. Verlander tried to figure out whether he wants to add a new pitch or return to the curveball he's had for 20 years (via the Hawkeye)."
"That's the most impressive part," Martinez said of his continued strides in his career ahead of his 20th major league season. "I've booked the Hall of Fame for my 20th season. But he still wants to get better. He wants to train his lower body, add more pitches, and throw the ball somewhere else in the strike zone. He's a great example for all young players. I'm seeing that the player who achieved that still wants to get better."
