ATLANTA – Max Scherzer delivered a brilliant performance in his most important start yet for the Mets.
Badly wanting to begin the series with a victory, the Mets called on Scherzer to set the tone in a three-game set against the Braves. Scherzer answered the call with seven terrific innings, allowing just one run on two hits, walking none and striking out nine across 93 pitches in the Mets’ 4-1 win over Atlanta on Monday night at Truist Park.
Scherzer left it all on the field. It was up to the Mets bullpen to record the final six outs without allowing the Braves any space to gain momentum.
