Moments after the Astros defeated the Phillies 4-1 to earn their second World Series pennant in six seasons, Justin Verlander joined the Fox MLB crew on the field inside Minute Made Park after winning his second World Series title.
Verlander, who delivered his first-ever World Series win to help the Astros secure a 3-2 victory against Philadelphia in Game 5 on Thursday, discussed his journey coming back from Tommy John surgery with host Kevin Burkhardt and Hall of Famers Frank Thomas and David Ortiz along with World Series champion Alex Rodriguez. While talking on set with his daughter, Verlander’s wife, model and actress Kate Upton, joined the crew to inform them that it had been a long day of cheering for her husband.
“I did A-plus cheering,” Upton joked.
