Justin Verlander missed out on his fourth no-hitter by five outs but still faced the minimum through eight innings.
Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander throws against the Minnesota Twins during the first inning of a baseball game, Tuesday, May 10, 2022, in Minneapolis. – After two frustrating years, Astros ace Justin Verlander was uncertain about his baseball future. The two-time Cy Young Award winner pitched just one game in 2020 and 2021 combined, missing all of last season following Tommy John surgery.
“Unfortunately, I've been here many times before and had it happen. I’ve had a few heartbreaking ones in the ninth inning," Verlander said. “This one I think it's just one of those you appreciate that it was a good outing and gave us a chance to win, and we did that.” The right-hander walked Minnesota’s No. 9 hitter, Gilberto Celestino, in the sixth, but Celestino was later thrown out at second base by catcher Martín Maldonado — one of several solid defensive plays backing Verlander's performance.
