Justin Verlander threw four-and-two-thirds scoreless innings in a rehab start for the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies this afternoon in Binghamton. He struck out six, walked one, allowed just two hits, and didn’t give up any runs in the outing, during which he threw 69 pitches. After the outing, Verlander said that he was feeling good.
“I could have tightened up my pitch shapes a little bit, but I don’t want to be too picky,” Verlander said. “It’s the first game action in over a month. So to be healthy is the biggest factor, and I checked that box.
