FRISCO, Texas — Astros ace Justin Verlander pitched four innings for Double-A Corpus Christi in what is expected to be his final minor league rehab outing before rejoining Houston's rotation. The three-time Cy Young Award winner gave up six runs — five earned — and seven hits on Saturday night against the Frisco RoughRiders, a Texas Rangers affiliate. He struck out three, walked one and threw 51 of 77 pitches for strikes. The 41-year-old Verlander opened the season on the injured list with inflammation in his right shoulder.
