Max Scherzer Torched For Seven Runs Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer was not his typical self in Friday's Game 1 against the San Diego Padres. He allowed four home runs and seven runs altogether in just 4 2/3 innings while striking out four and walking none. The deficit was too much for the Mets to come back from, and […]
