Max Scherzer was the driving force behind the Mets’ 4-1 victory, their biggest victory of the year.
Max Scherzer was making noise in the corner of an otherwise quiet Mets clubhouse. This was following Sunday’s dispiriting loss to the Marlins, and the ace seemed intent on altering the mood.
So Monday night, when the Mets opened a three-game series that’s as meaningful as any three-game series in July can be, it was no surprise that Scherzer’s presence was powerful enough to stop in its tracks the runaway locomotive that was the second-place Braves. The Mets needed him to impose his will on a deteriorating divisional situation, and impose his will he did., their biggest victory of the year.
This is exactly what team owner Steve Cohen bargained for when he agreed to give Scherzer a record average annual salary of $43.3 million over three years. Cohen had charged new GM Billy Eppler to “go get the players we need. We want to be competitive, we want to win our division and be in the playoffs and get deep into the playoffs. We’ve got to field a team that has the ability to do that.”
