Max Scherzer Booed Off Mound in First Playoff Start With Mets

Max Scherzer Mets Padres Josh Bell Jurickson Profar Manny Machado MLB

Max Scherzer did not plan for the start of his 2022 MLB postseason to come with a disastrous outing.

The Mets pitcher gave up four home runs in just 4 2/3 innings of work against the Padres on Friday night in Game 1 of the National League wild-card series, as New York got blown out 7–1.

As boos rained down from fans inside Citi Field, Scherzer’s 27th postseason appearance on the mound is one he will like to forget. The three-time Cy Young award winner became the first pitcher to allow four homers and seven earned runs in a playoff game since Reds pitcher Gene Thompson did so in the 1939 World Series, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
