Scherzer saved his best start of the season and his longest as a Met for the defending world champs, silencing the Astros in an 11-1 laugher.
HOUSTON — A few minutes before the game started, Justin Verlander briefly peered into his past in accepting his 2022 World Series ring.
Scherzer saved his best start of the season and his longest as a Met for the defending world champs, silencing the Astros in an 11-1 laugher on Monday at Minute Maid Park that was well-timed for the star and his club. On June 7, his offense gave Scherzer a three-run, fifth-inning edge that he flushed in a loss in Atlanta. Last Tuesday, the Mets handed Scherzer a 5-1 advantage that evaporated in the fourth inning in a loss to the Yankees.Francisco Lindor hits a home run during the third inning against the Houston Astros.Immediately, it became clear that Astros hitters had little chance against his hook. Of Scherzer’s first eight sliders, seven were strikes, including five swings and misses.
Scherzer finally was dented in the seventh, when Yainer Diaz hammered a hanging slider for a home run, but that marked the end of the Astros’ scoring.USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con
