Max Scherzer pitched no-hit ball into the sixth inning of his anticipated home debut and the New York Mets rode their $130 million ace to a 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night for a doubleheader sweep.

His velocity dipped and control wavered over consecutive walks to Mike Yastrzemski and Brandon Belt, and then Darin Ruf ripped an RBI single for San Francisco’s first hit.COVID: Not All Bay Area Transit Agencies Lifting Masking Requirement, Causing Some Confusion
The 37-year-old Scherzer, slowed late in spring training by a balky right hamstring, finished out the sixth and then tossed a 1-2-3 seventh. Drew Smith allowed the Giants’ only other hit in the eighth and Trevor May worked the ninth to earn his first save.Budding Giants ace Logan Webb was uncharacteristically wild and allowed three runs in 3 2/3 shaky innings.© Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.
