HOUSTON (AP) – The Houston Astros say Justin Verlander and Zack Greinke will follow Gerrit Cole in their rotation for the World Series against the Nationals, with Game 4 to serve as a bullpen day. Cole and Verlander were 20-game winners this season, and Cole is 19-0 in 25 starts since a loss to the White Sox on May 22. Greinke will get a chance to hit in Washington after batting .280 with three home runs and eight RBIs in 56 plate appearances this year. Washington ace Max Scherzer will oppose Cole in the series opener Tuesday night in Houston.
