The Mets were unable to complete the sweep of the Rockies and dropped the finale to the Rockies by a score of 1-0 at Citi Field.
Max Scherzer and Germán Márquez were locked in a pitchers duel and matched zeros until the seventh inning when Scherzer blinked first. Three singles, two of which were the infield variety, loaded the bases with no outs. One sacrifice fly later brought home the Rockies lone run. Scherzer limited the damage and had a stellar outing overall. He pitched seven innings and struck out eleven, dutifully counted on the Scherzer strikeout counter giveaway by Carlos Carrasco.
