In a rematch of last year’s decisive Game 3 of the wild-card series against the Padres, the Mets got it, with a 5-0 victory at Citi Field.
The Mets went into Monday night looking for their first win of the year against a team other than the Marlins.
He was also better than his counterpart from that wild-card game, Yu Darvish, who gave up a two-run double to Jeff McNeil in the third and five runs in 6 ¹/₃ innings. The Mets turned to John Curtiss in the sixth, who issued consecutive two-out walks to Soto and Bogaerts before he struck out ex-Yankee Matt Carpenter on three pitches.
Throughout his outing against San Diego, Scherzer gave up very little hard contact and didn’t allow a hit until Kim’s liner fell in front of Nimmo with one out in the fifth. He walked another leadoff hitter, Odor, in the third and Odor advanced to second when Tomas Nido tried to pick him off of first, but instead threw wildly into right field for an error.Scherzer bailed out his catcher when he struck out Grisham and got Machado to pop out to end the threat.Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil hits a two-run RBI double and moves to third.
