San Francisco Giants ace Justin Verlander has really gotten his fastball back as of late, and it apparently has him feeling pretty darn good about himself.
The former Cy Young winner Verlander twirled a gem for the Giants on Wednesday during their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. Verlander threw seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits and two walks to help the Giants eventually secure a 5-1 victory in 11 innings.
