Justin Verlander's Bothered Admission About Wrong Move Vs. Phillies
After nearly three months of absence, Houston Astros star pitcher Justin Verlander is back in action. The future Hall of Famer appeared in his second start since getting activated from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and looked solid on the mound in the first two innings. In the third inning, though, Verlander got clobbered by Philadelphia’s bats. Trea Turner hit an RBI single off of Verlander. Then after allowing a single to Bryce Harper and striking out Alec Bohm, Verlander got taken deep by Nick Castellanos, whose home run drove in three runs for the Phillies. After the game, Verlander lamented the pitch he threw at Castellanos, which was a 78 MPH curveball. Before that, Verlander caught Castellanos looking at a 93 MPH fastball. “The selection bothers me,” Verlander said about the curveball he hurled at Castellanos, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
