One three-time Cy Young Award winner likely made his final start for the New York Mets on Friday night.
Verlander is scheduled to start for the stripped-down Mets when they vie for a series win against the visiting Washington Nationals in the finale of the four-game set.Riley Adams had three RBIs Saturday night for the Nationals, who earned an 11-6 win during a game in which the Mets reportedly agreed to deal Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers.
"It's a loss for us for sure, obviously. Having a guy who is going to be a Hall of Famer get traded stinks. He's a good friend of mine. He's a great teammate. Texas is going to really love having him." Verlander, who missed the first five weeks of the season due to a teres major strain, is 3-1 with a 1.46 ERA in his last six outings after going 2-4 with a 4.50 ERA in his first nine. He tossed six scoreless innings and earned the win Tuesday in a 9-3 win over the New York Yankees.
The Nationals raced to a 4-0 advantage in the first inning Saturday and led 8-1 before the Mets mounted a comeback.
