Tempers flared after Nats pitchers hit a Met for the fourth time in the series. Once order was restored, the Mets won for the for the second time in as many nights.
for the Nationals, will be a tiny, tiny footnote in what each club is trying to build. And as far as early-season games go, the abundance of action came when the benches and bullpens cleared in the fifth inning, once the Mets took exception to reliever Steve Cishek hitting Francisco Lindor in the face with an 88-mph fastball.
Scherzer yielded three runs in six innings, his line stained by Josh Bell’s second-deck shot in the fourth. He logged six strikeouts, upping his total to 908 in this stadium. Gray was sharp early — striking out four of his first six hitters — but struggled from the third on, once seven Mets reached in the span of 10 at-bats. The second of those at-bats ended with a line-drive homer for lefty Jeff McNeil. The ninth finished when Robinson Canó poked a two-run single through the right side.
Carlson said DiSarcina was run because of his “aggressive behavior during the bench-clearing,” adding that the"job of a coach, or the staff, is to help de-escalate a situation, not escalate it. And we felt that in that situation, he was one of the aggressors and not helping de-escalate it.” DiSarcina was the Mets’ third base coach for the past three seasons.
Scherzer followed the confrontation with a one-two-three bottom half, stomping his way off the field. And once the Mets stretched their lead to 6-3 against reliever Victor Arano, Scherzer blanked his old team for another inning. Washington managed three hits off Scherzer and just five in the game.X-rays on Lindor’s jaw came back negative, and he passed a concussion test. When Cishek saw X-rays in one of the Nationals’ medical rooms, he sought out Lindor to shake his hand and apologize.
