RHP Max Scherzer will look to end his season on a high note Saturday, when he starts the second game of a day-night doubleheader against the New York Mets at Citi Field.

The games must be played because the Mets are now tied with the Dodgers in the league standings at 89-70. Scherzer was fortunate to walk away with a no-decision in his last meeting with the Mets on September 7 after permitting five runs on seven hits in six innings. The bats were silent with six hits with Kirk Nieuwenhuis going 3-4 and Kelly Johnson going 2-4. Gonzalez is 2-2 with a 3.72 ERA over his last seven starts. He’s 6-1 with a 1.68 ERA in his last 10 starts in Queens and is 3-0 with a 1.09 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 24 2/3 innings during his last four overall meetings with New York.
