WASHINGTON – Logan Verrett and Alex Troop are certainly not the first names that come to mind when thinking pitchers who could help the Nationals at some point this season.
But the two hurlers fared well in their last starts down on the farm.
Verrett, a third-round pick of the Mets out of Baylor, had his longest outing of the season as he went seven innings on Sunday for Triple-A Rochester.
He allowed just one run on two hits with two walks and six strikeouts in a 2-1 win over Syracuse, the top farm club for New York.
