At his 2022 strikeout/game rate of 6.2, Verlander should pass Fergie Jenkins in approximately 4-5 starts, likely in mid-September. He'll pass Phil Niekro approximately 25 starts after that, which should be around August 2023.

It's also worth noting that this was Carlos Correa's first game back in Houston since leaving for the Twins. Verlander struck him out once.
