Max Scherzer (7-2) struck out eight over six innings and Starling Marte homered to help the Mets snap a three-game losing streak Saturday.
— David Robertson got razzed in the bullpen by Phillies fans for the strange-but-true way he strained a calf in last season's playoffs. Yes, the former Phillies reliever was injured when he jumped in the air while celebrating a homer by Bryce Harper.Mets
The right-handed reliever hushed the hecklers when he got potential go-ahead run Bryson Stott to ground into an inning-ending double play in the eighth. Robertson got Josh Harrison to hit into a game-ending double play and needed just 13 pitches to earn his 11th save. So the question was naturally raised to Mets manager Buck Showalter, just how much does he hear from team owner Steve Cohen about the team's losing stretch?
Scherzer hasn't lost a start since May 8 and remained the one Mets pitcher guaranteed to give them a chance to win in every start."Let's Go Mets!" chants among the sellout crowd of 43,586 started from the first pitch and only grew louder when Marte hit a solo homer to left in the first inning.
