42-year-old Justin Verlander pitches 2 innings in spring debut for Giants

Justin Verlander struck out one and allowed a solo home run while pitching two innings in his spring training debut for the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Verlander's first start of the spring came four days after the three-time Cy Young Award winner's 42nd birthday. After allowing the two-out homer to Colorado's Michael Toglia in the first inning, Verlander walked the next batter before retiring the last four he faced.
