Verlander Remains Winless in Return to the San Francisco Giants After Injury

On June 18, 2025, Justin Verlander returned from a month-long injury absence to start for the San Francisco Giants against the Cleveland Guardians in San Francisco.
Verlander was sidelined by a strained right pectoral muscle and sought his first win for the Giants, remaining winless in 11 starts since signing a one-year, $15 million contract in January.
During the game, Verlander gave up a run in the first inning and a three-run homer in the fourth, leaving with the Giants down 4-0, while the Giants' offense struggled with runners in scoring position.
The Giants struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities Tuesday, managing just one hit in 13 chances with runners in scoring position, and continued to leave runners on base in each of the last four innings Wednesday, extending their losing skid to five of the last six games.
The Guardians extended their rare success in San Francisco with this series victory—their first there in two decades—and will attempt to complete the sweep Thursday at 1:05 p.m.
