There are some games over the course of the season that teams will flush down the toilet rather quickly. Monday’s game was a good example of that for the New York Mets (3-2), who came out flat and got blown out 10-0 by the Milwaukee Brewers (3-1) in their home opener. The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for the Mets, who will look to start a new one as they aim to even up their series with the Brewers tonight. First pitch for the middle game of this three-game set is scheduled for 7:40 p.m. at American Family Field.
Right-hander Max Scherzer (1-0, 4.50 ERA) is set to take the mound for the Mets this evening. Scherzer picked up a win for the Mets on Opening Day, allowing three runs in six innings to defeat the Miami Marlins last Thursday. The Brewers will counter with lefty Wade Miley (2-2, 3.16 ERA in 2022), who will be making his season debut today.
