Verlander of Shock 'Retires Like This?' Ends ERA 5.48 Season

Win after quality start. But I could never smile. Justin Verlander (41, Houston Astros) wrapped up a season that may be his last.

Houston played an away game against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field in Cleveland, USA on the 29th (Korea time).

Verlander, who started in Houston, threw 95 pitches (70 strikes) in six innings and recorded a quality start with seven hits, three runs and five strikeouts.

Houston won 4-3, thanks to Verlander's quality start and relief pitchers who shut out three scoreless innings. The batters scored four runs in the first half of the game.

Verlander had quite a few hits on the day but did not yield a walk. Verlander avoided losing a lot of runs and won the final game of the season.

Verlander couldn't smile, however. Overall, he had a very sluggish season. This is his worst performance since 2005, the year he made his Major League debut. 메이저사이트

Verlander pitched 90 1/3 innings in 17 games of the season, going 5-6 with a 5.48 ERA and 74 strikeouts. This is the highest ERA since July 15, 2005.

Not only did he miss many games due to injury, but he also failed to show off his Verlander appearance even after returning to games. As a result, Verlander is uncertain whether he will play in postseason games or not.

The contract between Houston and Verlander is due this season. It is questionable whether any club wants to recruit Verlander, who has shown rapid aging in the 41-year-old season.
