Max Scherzer will look to improve on a rocky first start to the 2022 season as he faces the Philadelphia Phillies.
PHILADELPHIA — If Max Scherzer’s first start as a Met brought closure, his second could reopen an old wound.
Last June 22, shortly after the league empowered umpires to check pitchers for foreign substances that would allow a better grip on the ball, Scherzer was checked three times in the first four innings during a game in Philadelphia. Upon the third, Scherzer was clearly frustrated, especially because Girardi had requested the inspection because, the Phillies manager said, he saw Scherzer run his hand through his hair.
Scherzer saw Girardi again last season at Citizens Bank Park in an incident-free Aug. 10 start. But if Scherzer’s Mets debut was any indication, perhaps drama follows him.On Friday, Scherzer statistically was OK in Washington — six innings, three runs allowed — but he pitched through several stoppages in play, including a dugouts- and bullpens-clearing fight after Francisco Lindor became the second Mets batter struck around the head by a pitch in two days.
“You don’t do the things he’s done without having that ability to answer a moment, so to speak,” the Mets manager said after the win.
