Justin Verlander is struggling despite making mechanical improvements. In his latest outing against the Toronto Blue Jays, he pitched one of his shortest games of the season, failing to complete three innings. The San Francisco Giants amassed 10 hits but managed no runs, going 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position. They suffered from poor hitting luck and two double plays that curtailed scoring opportunities. The unfortunate outcome marks the first time since 1959 that the team has ended a game with 11 hits and no runs.
Despite Verlander's 0-8 record, he made mechanical adjustments and showed improvement before a struggle against Toronto, completing only five outs in his next game.
The Giants showcased their offensive struggles by going 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position, ending the night without scoring despite having 11 hits.
