Starling Marte had spent more than a month seeking an extra-base hit, had slipped to No. 6 in the order and could not find a power stroke.Marte’s eighth-inning home run bailed the Mets out in a 5-4, comeback victory over the Guardians on Sunday at Citi Field in the first game of a doubleheader.
Marte, who had not knocked an extra-base hit since April 14, blasted a four-seamer from Trevor Stephan over the right-field wall to set off a celebration for the 39,995 on hand. Manager Buck Showalter turned to David Robertson, whose third pitch of the afternoon turned into a Jose Ramirez home run. Scherzer used a different recipe to cook up an encouraging outing in which he threw six scoreless innings, relying more on guile than gas.Corey Sipkin for the NY Post
The 38-year-old was not quite himself but found a different way to dominate through six innings, the first time he has lasted that long since Opening Day.
