Max Scherzer pitches gem, but Mets shut out by Rockies

NEW YORK -- Germán Márquez outpitched Max Scherzer, allowing one hit over seven sparkling innings and denying the New York Mets' ace his 200th career win as the Colorado Rockies eked out a 1-0 victory Sunday to prevent a four-game sweep by the NL East leaders.

Brian Serven's sacrifice fly off Scherzer in the seventh gave the Rockies their second 1-0 win over the Mets. The other one came in August 2012.

Márquez (7-10) struck out five and walked two, improving to 2-1 with a 1.42 ERA in three road starts against the Mets.
