DETROIT -- - New York Mets ace Max Scherzer struggled in his return from a suspension Wednesday night, allowing six runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings in his team's 8-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers during the second game of a doubleheader.
Scherzer was suspended for 10 games by Major League Baseball on April 20 after getting ejected for having a foreign substance on his pitching hand during his April 19 start against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner was facing the Tigers for the third time since leaving the team after the 2014 season.
