Mets' Max Scherzer Talks 1st Start After Suspension: 'Now We Can Move Forward'

New York Mets ace Max Scherzer is ready to move on following his return from a 10-game suspension for having a substance on his hand during an April 19 start against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

"I was spraying the ball, especially out of the stretch, and that's what you expect coming off a long layoff," the three-time Cy Young winner told reporters after Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers. "The No. 1 thing was getting through this start healthy, and we did that. Now we can move forward."

Scherzer was rusty in his first start after the extended layoff.
