Astros ace Justin Verlander put his fatigued pitching staff on his back Saturday in...
Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander throws against the Seattle Mariners during the fifth inning of a baseball game, Saturday, July 23, 2022, in Seattle. SEATTLE — Age saps strength and layoffs lessen effectiveness. Justin Verlander exists as an exception to both of these accepted truths. Patches of gray in his beard foster a false sense of hope the Astros’ ace is fading as Father Time takes hold.
Shades of a fireballing prospect reappeared on a sun-splashed Seattle afternoon. In perhaps his highest stress inning since the 2019 World Series, Verlander morphed into a man possessed, flipping from dominant to downright disgusting. Houston held on during a 3-1 victory against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. Verlander lowered his ERA to 1.86 with seven spectacular innings. Houston’s ace strapped its fatigued pitching staff onto his broad shoulders and carried it to within six outs of a win. Little-used relievers Parker Mushinski and Bryan Abreu collected them, finishing a masterpiece Verlander began.
