Verlander pitched around five walks to deliver five scoreless innings and Rafael Devers enjoyed his first multi-homer game with San Francisco as the Giants (54-49) defeated the Atlanta Braves, 9-3 , on Wednesday afternoon at Truist Park. For Verlander, it marks the 263rd win of his career.

The 42-year-old Verlander (1-8) had been winless in his first 16 starts, the longest stretch by a Giants pitcher in a single season in franchise history. The three-time Cy Young winner, who finalized a $15 million, one-year deal with San Francisco in January, allowed one hit in five scoreless innings and overcame five walks.
