Houston Astros starter has dominated the A's over his career. After what could be his final start at the Coliseum, he reflected on some of those memories
OAKLAND -- After Friday night's game at the Coliseum, Houston Astros starter Justin Verlander was in a reflective state. Not only did he just allowed just two runs, one earned, dominating the Oakland A's yet again, but he also surpassed the legendary Greg Maddux for tenth place on the all-time strikeout list when he struck out Abraham Toro in the second inning.
We then asked the future Hall of Famer about this potentially being his final start at the Coliseum. He mentioned striking out Frank Thomas here, with the Big Hurt being the reason he wears the number 35. Then, he talked a bit about some events that A's fans have very different memories of, but at the same time he was genuine in expressing his love for the fans in Oakland during those ALDS battles with the Tigers in 2012 and 2013.
