The Mets’ success out West continued on Wednesday in Los Angeles. With Max Scherzer on the hill to start the game, New York ended up winning 5-3, taking two of three from the Dodgers and improving to 5-1 on their current road trip.
However, Scherzer didn’t have much of an opportunity to contribute. He had a rocky first inning but eventually settled down, retiring the last eight hitters he faced in a row. The right-hander was ejected after three scoreless innings because of a foreign substance on his hand.
As you can imagine, he wasn’t happy about it.
