Pfaadt and Verlander trade lot of zeros in Giants-Diamondbacks game with playoff implications

Brandon Pfaadt and 42-year-old three-time Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander matched a lot of zeros in a mid-September pitcher's duel between NL West rivals still hoping to get into the playoffs. Both starters were spectacular, though neither got a decision in San Francisco's 5-1 win over Arizona on Wednesday. Pfaadt, a 26-year-old right-hander in his third season with the Diamondbacks, allowed only one hit over nine scoreless innings.
