The day was nearly perfect like so many Mets openers — they almost always start great!
, at least the guys on the field. One can only imagine how great they may be when they are all back together.
Anyway, the Mets’ other $43.33 million man, Scherzer, did exactly what he was supposed to do, which was enough to get by. Scherzer used a mix of pitches more than pure velocity to sail through the first five innings before three extra-base hits punctuated by Garrett Cooper’s long home run tied the score in the sixth, and gave the quieter Marlins fans a brief thrill.
Max Scherzer, who allowed three runs in six innings, picked up the win in the Mets’ season-opening victory.It’s like the Mets have two of the exact same great things, which is one of the luxuries of possessing a record payroll. I wouldn’t say these two future Hall of Famers have had precisely the same careers. No, by striking out six Marlins, Scherzer moved in front of Verlander. He has 3,199 strikeouts to 3,198 for Verlander. So it’s pretty close.
