No one was more proud of Justin Verlander than his wife Kate Upton after the right-hander threw the third no-hitter of his career.
The 36-year-old made a mockery out of the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, going nine strong with a ridiculous 14 K’s in the Astro's 2-0 road win. Upton, who has been married to Verlander for nearly two years, took to twitter to congratulate her husband on his latest accolade and surprise, surprise, it went viral pretty quickly.
We must admit, it is pretty adorable.
Awwwwwww!!!!
Verlander’s first no-hitter came in 2008 against the Milwaukee Brewers, a game in which he struck out 12 and walked four as a member of the Detroit Tigers. His second came three years later in a game against the Jays (he seems to like playing against them), when he threw four K’s and carried a perfect game into the eighth inning before walking J.P. Arencibia. The record for most career no-hitters belongs to Nolan Ryan at 7.
Think we can all agree that this is one of the best couples in sports.
