Justin Verlander Finally Earns First Win at Oracle Park

Verlander logged career win No. 264 and strikeout No. 3,520, passing Walter Johnson for ninth all-time. In a 5-2 win over the Cubs, he finally notched his first for San Francisco Giants victory after six blown leads earlier this year. “The Giant way is good pitching and good defense,” he said. Verlander now sits 14 strikeouts shy of Gaylord Perry.
