In his return from a 10-game suspension, Scherzer failed to complete even four innings and got battered for six runs by an anemic lineup.
DETROIT — Max Scherzer’s session throwing batting practice to the Tigers punctuated a disastrous day for the Mets.
In his return from a 10-game suspension, Scherzer failed to complete even four innings and got battered for six runs by an anemic lineup in the Mets’ 8-1 loss to the Tigers in the nightcap of a doubleheader at Comerica Park.It’s hardly the start the Mets needed to this 13-game stretch against underwhelming teams.Scherzer had last pitched on April 19 at Dodger Stadium, where he was ejected for violating MLB’s rules on foreign substances.
Haase, who hadn’t homered all season before Wednesday, crushed the Mets by delivering the go-ahead hit in Game 1 off Ottavino after hitting a three-run blast against Joey Lucchesi. “I didn’t execute in the big moment there,” Ottavino said. “I have got to be better. I will be better.”
