MAX SCHERZER NEWS

Gets little help in no-decision Scherzer didn't factor into the decision Friday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over seven innings in a 2-1 loss to the Mariners. He struck out six.

Impact The perennial Cy Young threat fired 60 of 98 pitches for strikes en route to his fifth quality start in seven trips to the mound this season, but Scherzer didn't get the run support he needed to turn the performance into his fifth win. The 37-year-old will carry a dominant 2.66 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 55:11 K:BB through 44 innings into his next outing.

Friday's matchup postponed Scherzer and the Mets won't play Friday against the Phillies after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

Impact Friday's matchup will be made up as part of a doubleheader in August. While the Mets haven't indicated their updated pitching plans, it wouldn't be surprising to see Scherzer start Saturday against the Phillies. The right-hander will attempt to bounce back after he allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out nine in six innings against Philadelphia on Sunday.

Allows three homers, wins anyway Scherzer (4-0) picked up the win over the Phillies on Sunday night, allowing four runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- over six innings. He struck out nine and walked...

Impact All of the damage was done on a trio of long balls, two by Kyle Schwarber and one off the bat of Bryce Harper. Homers were not a problem for Scherzer at all early on -- he gave up one home run in April -- so this will likely end up being a blip on the radar. The numbers for Scherzer are still elite; he has a 2.61 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 31 innings and is tied for second in MLB with 42 strikeouts.
