Justin Verlander given automatic ball for warmup pitch violation
Mets starter Justin Verlander was given an automatic ball for throwing his final warmup toss three seconds longer than allowed.JUNE 27, 2023
Blanks Brew Crew in no-decision Verlander didn't factor into the decision in Monday's loss to Milwaukee, allowing five hits and two walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Impact The veteran right-hander worked in and out of jams, loading the bases with one out in the first inning and seeing runners reach scoring position in three of his four other frames, but Verlander escaped each time and exited the game nursing a 1-0 lead that the Mets bullpen couldn't hold. He hasn't recorded a win in over a month, posting a 4.50 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB through 32 innings in the six starts since, and Verlander has yet to put together two solid starts in a row this season. He'll look to break that pattern in his last outing, which could come at home this weekend against the Giants.

Takes loss in Houston Verlander (2-4) was charged with the loss Tuesday against the Astros after he gave up four runs on eight hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out five.
Impact The veteran right-hander generated just 10 swinging strikes on 94 pitches but was mostly able to hold his former team in check, though Alex Bregman tagged him for a two-run home run. Verlander has been unable to string together strong performances this season, as he's alternated allowing one run and four-plus runs in each of his past eight starts. He now has a 4.50 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 44:13 K:BB through 52 innings this year.

Delivers quality start Verlander didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Yankees, allowing one run on three hits over six innings. He struck out six without walking a...
Impact The 40-year-old righty dueled Gerrit Cole to a 1-1 tie through six frames before both aces handed things off to their bullpens. Verlander continues to alternate sharp performances with shaky ones -- he has four quality starts in eight trips to the mound this year but has yet to produce two in a row, and he's surrendered 16 runs in 13 innings during his last three off starts. He'll try to break that pattern in his next outing, likely to come early next week in Houston.

Posts another poor outing Verlander allowed five runs (four earned) on seen hits and four walks while striking out three batters over three innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Thursday.
Impact Atlanta racked up plenty of hits against Verlander, but he also inflicted a lot of self-damage by issuing four free passes. The veteran struggled to get the ball over the plate, throwing just 45 of 82 pitches for a strike. Verlander's final line could actually have been much worse -- Atlanta left six runners on base during the three frames in which he pitched. The reigning AL Cy Young award winner hasn't really lived up to that billing his first campaign with the Mets, posting a 4.85 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB over 39 innings across seven starts.

Quality start wasted Friday Verlander (2-3) took the loss Friday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over six innings as the Mets fell 3-0 to the Blue Jays. He struck out eight.
Impact The 40-year-old righty was dominant after serving up a leadoff homer to George Springer, but the New York offense couldn't get anything going against Chris Bassitt and the Toronto bullpen. Verlander generated 30 called or swinging strikes among his 117 pitches as he delivered his third quality start in six outings since making his belated season debut. While he has been tagged for six runs in two of those trips to the mound, it should be noted that one of them came in Coors Field, while the other came against the league-leading Rays. Verlander will take a 4.25 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 30:9 K:BB through 36 innings into his next start, which is likely to come next week in Atlanta.
