Living legend Max Scherzer (39, New York Mets) continues to fight hard.
On the 2nd (Korean time), Scherzer started the match against the Philadelphia Phillies in the ‘2023 Major League Baseball’ held at Citi Field in Flushing, New York, USA.
Until this day, Scherzer showed a strong pitch by allowing 2 runs in 18 innings in the last 3 games. In April, he was shaken for a while due to the controversy over the use of foreign substances, and in five appearances until the Detroit Tigers match on the 4th of last month, he had one quality start (3 earned runs in 6 innings or less) and an average ERA of 5.56, but he is slowly rebounding.
Scherzer continued his strong pitching against Philadelphia. He was shaken for a while, such as a defensive error at the beginning of the game, but tied up the opponent’s batting line with a powerful pitch.
The first run was in the first inning. Opponent’s double steal came out from 1st out, 1st and 2nd base, and catcher Francisco Alvarez’s throwing error came out and he conceded and was drawn to 0-1. After that, he allowed a sacrifice fly to Nick Castellanos to make it 0-2.
After shaking for a while, Scherzer regained his senses. After treating the top of the 2nd inning as a tripartite offense, he continued to pitch cleanly, leading to a double hit even with the lead batter on base in the top of the 3rd inning.
The second crisis was in the top of the 4th inning. With two hits, it became 2nd, 1st and 3rd base, but the follow-up hitter, Cody Clemens, was caught with a ground ball to 2nd base to end the inning. After that, he continued to fight well without any difficulties and kept the mound until the 7th inning.
The team’s batting line gained strength while Scherzer was active. In the bottom of the 3rd inning, Jeff McNeil’s 1 RBI hit kicked off the chase to 1-2, and in the bottom of the 4th, Mark Cana’s 2-run home run succeeded in turning the game around 3-2. In the bottom of the sixth, Mark Vientos hit a sacrifice fly to seal the victory 4-2.토토사이트
