Max Scherzer’s two starts on this road trip have firmly reestablished that he’s capable of leading this Mets rotation.
On Saturday, the right-hander followed his best start of the year, an eight-inning gem in Houston, with six strong innings that helped the Mets to a 4-2 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.Any shot the Mets have at competing for a postseason berth is predicated mostly upon improved starting pitching, and that starts with Scherzer and co-ace Justin Verlander, both of whom have failed to pitch at a consistent level in the first half.
That followed consecutive clunkers against the Braves and Yankees that had helped send the Mets’ rotation into a tailspin. Guillorme was in the lineup at second base as Jeff McNeil rested a sore left wrist from the previous night.
