US EditionDouble Trouble for SF Giants: Logan Webb Gets Roughed up, Verlander Goes to IL
- The San Francisco Giants lost 8-4 to the Kansas City Royals on May 21, ending a nine-game homestand at Oracle Park in San Francisco.
- The loss came after ace pitcher Justin Verlander was sidelined due to a pectoral irritation, prompting the Giants to place him on the injured list and causing him to miss a minimum of two upcoming outings.
- Logan Webb, the Giants' other leading starter, was roughed up by the Royals' lineup, allowing 10 hits in four innings and failing to reach the fifth inning for the first time since September 2024.
- Verlander threw four innings with velocity topping 93 mph but walked five batters, a season high, and described the injury as unrelated to his prior neck issue while expecting a quick return.
- The Giants missed advancing to 10 games over.500 and will begin a nine-game road trip while adjusting their rotation to cover Verlander's absence, with manager Melvin expecting Verlander to return after short-term rest.
