The Mets got off to a good start in their last series of the year against the Nationals as they picked up the 5-4 win. Not only did the Mets win the game, which is cool on its own, but they also scored three runs against Max Scherzer, Jacob deGrom’s biggest threat in the Cy Young race, raising his ERA to 2.57. With this win, the Mets have clinched at least a .500 season against the Nationals as they improved to 9-7 against them in 2018.
In their last shot against Max Scherzer this season, the Mets made things interesting in the top of the first.
