Player of the Game: Max Scherzer​

Scherzer continues to defy logic and add to his legacy as one of the best pitchers in the history of the league. In fact, he moved into fourth place all-time in double-digit strikeout games with 109, passing Pedro Martinez and moving within one game of tying Roger Clemens with 110. His season ERA is down to a pristine 1.98 mark, and he continues to be worth every penny that the Mets paid for his services back in the offseason.

Final line for Scherzer: 7.0 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 11 K
