Knocked around in loss Scherzer (11-5) took the loss to Atlanta on Saturday, allowing four runs on nine hits while striking out four and walking none over 5.2 innings.
Impact Scherzer fell victim to the long ball, giving up three of his four earned runs on two homers. He tossed 71 of 101 pitches for strikes across 5.2 frames. The veteran did not seem to have it in Saturday's appearance allowing nine hits and striking out four batters, both of which were the second worst single game totals for him this season. Despite the lackluster performance, his ERA sits at a still impressive 2.29 and goes along with a 0.91 WHIP.

Whiffs seven in win Scherzer (11-4) earned the win during Sunday's 13-4 victory over Oakland, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with seven strikeouts in six innings.
Impact New York jumped out to an early lead and Scherzer was able to limit the damage to a Seth Brown solo home run in the fourth inning in his second start back from an oblique injury. The 38-year-old fired 62 of 91 pitches for strikes with 10 of the swinging variety and has now surrendered just one run across 12 innings compared to 16 strikeouts over his last two starts. Scherzer sports a 2.13 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 169 strikeouts in 139.2 innings across 22 starts on the season. He's tentatively scheduled to pitch again next Sunday in Atlanta on Sunday Night Baseball.

Six perfect innings in return Scherzer (10-4) threw six perfect innings to earn the win in Milwaukee on Monday. He struck out nine.
Impact Scherzer was at the top of his game, but manager Buck Showalter pulled the right-hander after 68 pitches in what was Scherzer's first start back from an oblique injury. While he didn't get a chance to continue his bid for a perfect game, Scherzer picked up his 200th career win and helped the Mets clinch a postseason berth. He should be able to up his pitch count in his subsequent starts as he prepares himself for more important games in the playoffs.

Returns from IL The Mets reinstated Scherzer (oblique) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday against the Brewers, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact Scherzer will be rejoining the Mets for the final two and a half weeks of the season after he was cleared to return from the IL following his rehab start at Triple-A Syracuse last Wednesday. He struck out seven over 3.2 innings in his outing with Syracuse, allowing one earned run on three hits and a walk. Scherzer tossed only 59 pitches in that outing, so he could face a light workload restriction in Monday's contest. The three-time Cy Young Award winner will line up for a two-start week, with his second turn set to come Sunday in Oakland.
