Tagged for five runs in loss Scherzer (1-1) was charged with the loss Tuesday at Milwaukee after giving up five runs on eight hits with two strikeouts and two walks across 5.1 innings.
Impact The right-hander was hit hard all night by the Brewers, which culminated in Rowdy Tellez, Brian Anderson and Garrett Mitchell crushing three consecutive home runs during the sixth inning. It was a rough outing for Scherzer, made worse by the fact New York has been outscored 19-0 by Milwaukee through the first two games of the series. Things won't get any easier next time out for the 38-year-old, as he lines up to face the Padres on Monday.

Picks up win against Marlins Scherzer (1-0) earned the win Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over six innings against the Marlins. He struck out six.
Impact Scherzer briefly gave up the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning on a Garrett Cooper two-run homer, but Brandon Nimmo responded in the top of the seventh to put the future Hall of Famer back in line for the win. David Robertson notched the save. Scherzer got 14 called strikes and 13 swinging strikes on 91 pitches, so he looks up to the challenge of carrying the Mets' rotation while Justin Verlander is sidelined with a low-grade teres major strain.

Fans 11 in final tuneup Scherzer dominated the Rays in Friday's Grapefruit League game, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over six innings while striking out 11.
Impact Facing a Tampa Bay lineup made up of most of the team's likely Opening Day starters, including Randy Arozarena, Wander Franco and Yandy Diaz, Scherzer cranked up his intensity and fired 73 strikes over 100 pitches in his final spring start. The veteran right-hander posted a 2.29 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 30.6 percent strikeout rate in 2022 during his first season with the Mets, but the 38-year-old managed only 145.1 innings due to oblique issues -- his lowest total over a full MLB season since he became a regular starter in 2009.
