The Mets finished their three-game series in Los Angeles in eventful fashion, as Max Scherzer was ejected from the game for what the umpires deemed to have been a violation of the league’s policy on sticky stuff. He he thrown just three innings at the time. But a big home run from Brandon Nimmo and excellent work from the Mets’ bullpen gave the team the win in the series finale, which also gave them the series win.
With that, the Mets are 5-1 on the road trip, and their only loss of this west coast swing thus far came in a game in which Clayton Kershaw was simply on top of his game.
