Justin Verlander threw 121 pitches across five scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts, earning his 265th career win as the Giants beat the Orioles 13-2.
There were definitely plenty of fireworks in this most recent showdown between the Miami Marlins and the New York Mets. Pete Alonso continued his Marlin killing ways. Juan Soto continued being Juan Soto. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough continued to make puzzling pitching moves. Jakob Marsee continued to look like a star in the making. Agustin Ramirez continued to look like a guy that really, really shouldn't play catcher. In other words, plenty of potential storylines.
"They've been really good with my innings and my pitch counts since the start of the year," Smith said after the 80-pitch outing. "Making sure you're doing everything behind the scenes in the weight room and training room and all that stuff. Making sure you're ready every five, six days, whatever it is."
