Justin Verlander earned his 250th career win on Sunday afternoon, when he tossed 5 1/3 solid innings to lead the New York Mets to a 5-2 victory and an eventful series win over the visiting Washington Nationals.Verlander (6-5), whose name has been bandied about in trade rumors, allowed one run - when CJ Abrams swiped home as part of a double steal in the first - on five hits and one walk while striking out five.
He is the 49th pitcher to record 250 wins.Pete Alonso had two RBIs via a game-tying single in the first and a sacrifice fly during a three-run third against Trevor Williams (5-6).
