But the Mets are at least giving themselves a little more room to breathe.
Scherzer, who relishes pitching in the second game of a doubleheader so he has an idea how short the bullpen may be , gave the Mets exactly what they needed. The ace was masterful across seven shutout innings while striking out 11 on a season-high 108 pitches, finishing in emphatic style by striking out the side in the seventh.
After the Mets used most of their high-leverage arms, including Edwin Diaz, in Game 1, Mychal Givens relieved Scherzer in the eighth inning and gave up back-to-back doubles that cut the lead to 4-1. “It’s like you’re mining for gold,” manager Buck Showalter said in between games. “You take a piece of gold and put it over there. You take the rock, you put it over here and you sift some more. When you get enough nuggets, you get to play in October. Lindor’s a nugget.”
