Justin Verlander is the oldest active pitcher in the big leagues, born 41 years , five months and two days ago .
He is fighting for a spot in the Houston Astros' postseason rotation.
Verlander has struggled since being activated from the injured list.
The Astros have won every game started by Yusei Kikuchi since the trade deadline.
Verlander allowed the first grand slam since April 2010 ( 14 years and 150 days ago ) That's the second -longest span of time between grand slams allowed in history; only John Franco went longer ( 15 years and 58 days ) Verlander acknowledged the ugly result, but also seemed to collect pieces of hope from the rubble.
