Verlander piled up 121 pitches over five scoreless innings in a 13-2 Giants rout of the Orioles, punching his third win and lowering his ERA to 4.29 with 10 strikeouts in a vintage, high-stress performance. The outing showcased his durability at 42 and kept San Francisco in a strong position in the playoff chase, while Cleveland’s Gavin Williams later echoed the heavy-workload approach with a 126-pitch effort. Henderson and Mountcastle provided late resistance for Baltimore, but the night belonged to Verlander and a Giants lineup that feasted once he moved past five innings.
