The Mets are starting to come around. Emphasis on starting.
Max Scherzer became the latest Mets starter to silence the Phillies in a 4-2, sweep-clinching victory at Citi Field on a gorgeous afternoon for the 38,302 on hand and the Mets.
Scherzer allowed two runs — just one earned — in seven innings in which he blew fastball after fastball past Phillies hitters. Scherzer, who had been sidelined with both injuries and suspensions , finally looks healthy and rolling.Robert Sabo for the NY PostAfter a sideways first inning, Scherzer only allowed one Phillies batter to reach scoring position.Scherzer’s fastball had more life and velocity and drew whiff after whiff.Once Scherzer was pulled, Jeff Brigham, Brooks Raley and Drew Smith recorded the final six outs.
The Mets, down 2-0 in the third inning, drew a pair of two-out walks against ex-Met Taijuan Walker before Jeff McNeil singled into center to drive in Brandon Nimmo.
