Ace shuts down Mets at Citi Field to move Padres within one win of NLDS
Friday at Citi Field stood Max Scherzer, the man who can cut down October lineups like a weed whacker.The debate for many coming into the best-of-three against the underdog
The Padres belted four home runs off the Mets’ fabled lineup disruptor, including one each from scuffling bats Josh Bell and Trent Grisham in a span of 20 pitches. Scherzer allowed 13 home runs in total this season, spread across 145 1/3 innings. Credit the win to the Padres clearing the offensive cobwebs, as long as you dump a dollop of the same on Darvish for his metronome steadiness that held the Mets in check … on the road … in one of the most raucous stadiums, in one of America’s most raucous cities … against a mammoth of the mound.
In the process, he carved out a bit of Padres history. He became the fourth player in franchise history to throw seven or more innings in a postseason game. He joined Ed Whitson , Kevin Brown and Andy Ashby .“We knew Darvish was going to be a challenge, and he was,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said."... , usually we answer there when we had a chance to, but Darvish wouldn’t let us.”It wasn’t as if the stars suddenly aligned for Darvish.
