MILWAUKEE — Six years later, the Mets are going back to the playoffs.
Max Scherzer tossed six perfect innings and picked up his 200th win as the Mets beat the Brewers, 7-2, on Monday to clinch a spot in the postseason for the first time since 2016.
Their primary regular-season objective — winning the NL East — remains a work in progress. Atlanta also won, so the Mets’ division lead stayed at one game.
