After an exciting extra innings win in the first half of a doubleheader, the nightcap between the Mets and Giants did not disappoint.
Making his Citi Field debut as a Met, Max Scherzer was brilliant, taking a no hitter into the sixth inning. After appearing to run out of gas, walking back-to-back batters, and then giving up the first hit of the game, plating the Giants’ first run, Scherzer came back out for a dominant eight pitch seventh inning to finish his night. Scherzer struck out 10 over 7 innings pitched, and was everything Mets fans hoped for back when the team signed him in the offseason.
