New York Yankees fans expected the worst when they heard Max Scherzer would start the opening game at Yankee Stadium. This New York Mets-Yankees Subway Series was one of the most anticipated in years. Both teams are first-place in their divisions. Both have elite power hitters. The teams' pitching rotations are regarded as two of the best in the majors. The stage was set. With Max Scherzer facing off against the underperforming Domingo German to start the series, Yankees fans were hoping to avoid an embarrassing evening. Scherzer, the highest paid player in the league, is a three-time Cy Young Award winner and eight-time All-Star. The odds heavily favored the Mets, but baseball can be a funny game.

With Andrew Benintendi on first, Rizzo hit a looper over the shortstop to put men on first and third. A sacrifice fly from D.J. LeMahieu scored Benintendi, and the Mets were behind. Scherzer continued to leak runs, giving up a run in each of the third, fifth, and seventh innings. On the night, he gave up four runs on seven hits in 6.2 innings and struck out only three batters. Katie Sharp@ktsharpFirst game this season that Max Scherzer gave up 4+ runs and 7+ hits.1776134First game this season that Max Scherzer gave up 4+ runs and 7+ hits. Undoubtedly the most anticipated matchup of the night was Aaron Judge versus Max Scherzer. After striking out in the first inning, Judge got his revenge in the third. The league-leading home run hitter blasted a shot over the right field fence. It was home run 47 for Judge and kept him on track for Roger Maris' record.

Many people are saying it.72595Max Scherzer stinks and Jacob deGrom is scared of the Yankees. Many people are saying it. The Yankees have been on a horrible run. Last night was an important win for Aaron Boone and the players. Entering the game, the team was 3-7 in the last 10 games and had a 5-13 record since the August 2 trade deadline. The lineup, however, managed to frustrate Scherzer. Five Yankees got hits off the Mets ace. Mammyth@Mammyth3@MLBONFOX17@MLBONFOX https://t.co/8fJ2lNcDBm The Mets, on the other hand, have stumbled of late. Their lead in the National League East has shrunk, and the Atlanta Braves are now only three games behind. The team is 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Mets have struggled with injuries this season but with a roster like this, they have no excuses. Max Scherzer will need to return to his old self if the Mets hope to maintain the coveted first-place position in the NL East.
