In what was a day many Mets fans would soon like to forget for the lack of Gary, Keith, and Ron, the Mets picked up their second victory of the season behind the long awaited debut of Max Scherzer in a Mets uniform.
The night got off to an interesting start, as first pitch was delayed due to the lights at Nationals Park not working. After a brief delay, the game was underway, and Scherzer got to work against his former team. In the bottom of the first, he made quick work of the Nationals, with a 1-2-3 inning on just nine pitches.
