ustin Verlander had good reason to fear the worst when rain began to fall at Truist Park on Wednesday, sending fans scurrying for cover in the fifth inning when he still needed three outs to qualify for his elusive first win in a San Francisco Giants uniform.
San Francisco led 3-0 when the 42-year-old Verlander was forced to consider if bad luck again would extend a winless streak of 17 starts that already ranked as the longest in a season in Giants history.
\"I didn\'t know. I figured something like that would happen,\" Verlander said. \"This would be the game that gets rained out or we have a two-hour delay and they don\'t let me go back out.\"
