Max Scherzer was signed by the New York Mets for a three-year $130 million contract to bring a change in their culture and to set a winning tone in the rotation. Indeed, he delivered. The New York Mets have finally found a way to taste success which comes with the post-season, after six long years.
Even New York Mets owner Steven Cohen was seen giving a post-game speech wearing the team cap after Max Scherzer’s achievement. “This is just the first step. I have high expectations, If we can win the division, that would be great. I think this is a team that can go really far.”
Max Scherzer was questioned after achieving his 200th career win, also lowering his ERA to 2.15, “This is what you play the game for, you play the game to get in the postseason. The fact that we got here, there’s a lot of ways for it not to work out. For us to be able to find our way into the postseason, it’s awesome. That’s what we celebrate.”

Max Scherzer left a perfect game in progress when he got replaced by reliever Tylor Megill, “It wasn’t [difficult], I know where I’m at in this rehab process of getting back up there. I wasn’t going to have a chance to complete it. You’ve just got to take your victories when you can get them.”
Max Scherzer struck out nine batters in the six innings he pitched, as it was his first start in 16 days. The Mets only asked him to pitch as far as 68 pitches. After the game, the Mets players were seen partying with booze flowing, hugs and celebrating their post-season entry efforts.
“He’s won a World Series,” said teammate Brandon Nimmo. “He’s (Max Scherzer) been there, done that, and he still pitches and plays with such a passion. … For guys who haven’t done it before, it’s important to learn from someone who has.”
