Yu Darvish dominated the Mets again, and Eric Hosmer hit a two-run homer off three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer that sent the San Diego Padres to a 4-1 victory Friday night.
General manager Billy Eppler is trying to do something about that — no matter which opponent is on the mound.
Shut down by Darvish, the Mets certainly looked as though they could use more punch. The right-hander topped Scherzer in a matchup of aces and improved to 5-0 with a 2.56 ERA in eight career starts against New York. Aided by some fine defense, Darvish struck out nine and walked one in seven sparkling innings. He allowed four hits, including a two-out RBI double by Luis Guillorme that spoiled the shutout bid in the seventh."It doesn’t surprise us. We seem to get spoiled by him every time out,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said.
“Give credit to Darvish tonight. He pitched really well," Scherzer said. “He was having quick innings there in the first part of the game, and kind of a time-of-possession thing where I was grinding through the first three innings he was very efficient. That's usually a tough situation to pitch in. Usually I like being on the other side of that.”
