The game was well-contested and saw the Pitchers’ domination. Justin Verlander had a great outing. He pitched in eight innings and finished the game with five strikeouts at an ERA of 3.6. His counterpart, Shane Bieber, had an impressive performance and claimed four strikeouts as well. But because of a lack of support from the offense, his effort fell short of the win.
