Giants’ Logan Webb tips cap to retiring Justin Verlander after gem vs Tigers
With Justin Verlander in attendance, Giants ace Logan Webb made sure to put on a show against the Tigers on Sunday.
In a surprising gesture, Giants' starting pitcher Logan Webb tipped his cap to retiring Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander during a recent game. The San Francisco Giants, now sitting at a 49-69 record, suffered a 3-1 loss in their series finale against the Tigers. Despite the setback, Webb had the rare opportunity to pitch in front of Verlander, who is set to retire at the end of the season.
As reported by Justice delos Santos, Webb expressed his admiration for Verlander, calling him "one of the greatest pitchers of all-time" and expressing his wish to have spent more time with him as a teammate. Webb pitched eight innings of one-run baseball, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out two, even though the Giants ultimately fell short of a win.
This gesture highlights the respect and admiration Webb holds for Verlander, a three-time Cy Young Award winner with a distinguished 21-year career in MLB.
