Max Scherzer caused spasms Sunday instead of getting them, a step in the right direction for the Mets in attempting to rejuvenate their rotation.
The Mets celebrated Scherzer’s revival with a breakout game — or, more succinctly, inning — at the plate in an 8-2 victory over the Nationals in the second game of a doubleheader.
He departed after 83 pitches with the Mets already in control with a seven-run lead in the sixth inning.He had experienced a dip in his previous start in Detroit, where he returned from a 10-game suspension for violating MLB’s rules on foreign substances and allowed six earned runs over 3 ¹/₃ innings.This latest homecoming, to Nationals Park — Scherzer won two Cy Young awards pitching for Washington and one for Detroit — went much smoother.
Tommy Pham and Brett Baty each reached base in the inning with a walk and Pete Alonso was hit by a pitch.Mets’ offense dries up in loss to Nationals after rain suspension One pitch later the game was tied: Brandon Nimmo hit a sacrifice fly. Before the suspension, Michael Perez’s double had sent Daniel Vogelbach to third base.The Mets loaded the bases in the fourth inning on singles by Alonso, Baty and Marte, but Vogelbach struck out and Luis Guillorme was retired to end the threat.
