Matt Scherzers win tonight was was a workmanlike day, in which he pitched 5 shutout innings, with only one hit. However , his pitch count hit 97 in those 5 innings , and it wasn’t a totally easy time for him. His last batter of the night, Austin Nola, catcher, was a dicey out and took many pitches to end the inning and his night.

The first runs for the Mets was in the 3rd inning, via a 2 rbi triple by Jeff Mc Neil, which was all the Mets needed tonight . Francisco Lindors double added 2 more to the Mets run total.

The bullpen did a good job, with Adam Ottavino closing out the game tonight
