DETROIT – For a season debut after five weeks on the injured list, the Mets had to like what they saw from Justin Verlander on Thursday.The Mets are reeling, in need of an energy infusion, a fact that was underscored in their 2-0 loss at Comerica Park that gave the underwhelming Tigers a three-game sweep.Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez fired eight shutout innings with nine strikeouts to frustrate manager Buck Showalter’s beleaguered crew.
But Verlander retired the final two batters in the inning and avoided trouble for the remainder of his start.
