The Colorado Rockies just got through one right-hander with three Cy Young Awards to his name. Now they face another one.
Colorado lost to New York Mets starter Max Scherzer on Friday night, and now it's Justin Verlander on the hill for New York on Saturday in the second contest of a three-game series in Denver.
Verlander is in his first year with the Mets after five-plus years with the Houston Astros. He won two of his three American League Cy Young Awards with Houston, including last season, which was made special for the fact that he pitched in one game in the previous two years after undergoing Tommy John surgery in late 2020.
Verlander is 3-1 with a 2.08 ERA in five career starts against Colorado. His last win came Aug. 30, 2017, in his final start for the Detroit Tigers. He was traded to Houston the next day.
