Minneapolis — Justin Verlander has pitched six hitless innings on 66 pitches for the Houston Astros against the Minnesota Twins.
The 39-year-old right-hander was perfect through four innings Tuesday night before allowing a leadoff walk to Jorge Polanco in the fifth. Verlander got Gio Urshela to tap into a double play one pitch later to retire Polanco.
He also issued a two-out walk to No. 9 hitter Gilberto Celestino in the sixth inning.
Verlander has thrown three no-hitters in his decorated career, with his last coming in 2019 with the Astros against Toronto.
