Justin Verlander does not have to make the transition to his new team alone. Thankfully his fiancee is supporting him.
Verlander on Tuesday pitched his first ever MLB game for a team other than the Detroit Tigers. He made his Houston Astros debut while facing the Mariners in Seattle. And guess who was there to watch him? Kate Upton was all decked out in new Astros gear:

Houston acquired Verlander in a trade with the Tigers minutes before the Sept. 1 waiver deadline. The Astros sent three prospects — Daz Cameron, Franklin Perez and Jake Rogers — over to Detroit in order to get the former Cy Young winner. They’re hoping he will help solidify their rotation entering the postseason, as well as uplift the team’s spirits. Having Upton in their corner too is a nice bonus.
