With Carrasco last night, followed by Scherzer, followed by Verlander scheduled to start consecutive games, the Mets are set (weather/injuries/whatever permitting) to feature three consecutive triple-digit winners. Carrasco has 105 career wins, Scherzer 204, Verlander 246. When they pitched in succession last weekend, it marked the 63rd time the Mets rolled out such a specifically credentialed trio, but the first time in 17 years.
Here's how it breaks down by year and pitchers. Pitchers not necessarily listed in order they pitched in a given spin of the rotation.
2023: Carrasco, Scherzer, Verlander (1x)
2006: Martinez, Gl@v!ne, Trachsel (6x)
2005: Martinez, Gl@v!ne, Trachsel (5x; Steve was sidelined until August)
2004: Leiter, Gl@v!ne, Trachsel (21x)
2003: Leiter, Gl@v!ne, Trachsel (8x following Trax's 100th W 8/7/2003)
2003: Gl@v!ne, Cone, Leiter, Astacio (1x — the only 4-pack of 100+ winners in a row)
1993: Gooden, Saberhagen, Tanana
1976: Seaver, Koosman, Lolich
This accounting excludes Mets starters en route to 100+ career wins but not there yet (Seaver prior to mid-May 1972, for example, or Jon Matlack, who didn't reach 100 until his Texas tenure).
