While Verlander has struggled to pile up wins, he’s still been busy climbing up other leaderboards. He currently ranks 10th with 3,511 career strikeouts and is only five away from passing Hall of Famer Walter Johnson for ninth on the all-time list, though a discrepancy in the record books led to an odd moment in the fifth inning on Saturday.

Verlander completed seven innings and didn't allow a run, but the Giants lost their seventh straight game behind a thinned-out bullpen.
