POCKET ACES

Scherzer and Verlander entered Sunday with 449 wins between them, the most by a tandem starting a doubleheader since Nolan Ryan and Charlie Hough had 484 wins prior to Texas’ twinbill against the White Sox on Aug. 17, 1990.

WHOLE LOTTA STARTS

Verlander, who played his entire career in the American League before signing with the Mets last December, made his 55th career start against Cleveland, tied for the most by an active pitcher against one club. Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw has made 55 starts against San Francisco.
