Overview

  • Justin Verlander allowed three runs over five innings in his return from paternity leave and dropped to 0-5 with a 4.52 ERA through 12 starts.
  • San Francisco’s offense has scored just 24 runs during his 12 starts, averaging only two runs of support per outing.
  • Christian Koss provided the Giants’ only scoring with a two-run homer in the fifth inning, his second of the season.
  • Rafael Devers was thrown out at home plate while trying to score the tying run in the fifth inning and is playing through a groin strain.
  • Matt Chapman remains sidelined with hand inflammation and the team plans to shift Casey Schmitt to second base when Chapman returns to reinforce the lineup.
