Max Scherzer was simply sensational in the Mets 6-2 win in the nightcap of the doubleheader. He pitched seven scoreless innings and struck out eleven Atlanta batters after the bullpen was stretched thin in the first game of the doubleheader. He was brilliant throughout but he struck out the side in the seventh to put a final flourish on his masterpiece. Keith put a capper on the night when he said, “Folks you’re watching greatness.” Nothing else can be said.
Pete Alonso’s torrid second half continued when he put the Mets on the board in the third with a bloop single with the bases loaded.
