In an intense game between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers, Mets ace Max Scherzer was ejected from the game in the fourth inning (CBS Sports). The argument began when umpires asked Scherzer to change his glove because of a foreign substance inspection, to which Scherzer protested (Yahoo Sports). Following a heated conversation with umpires, Scherzer was ejected from the game (Fox News).
The ejection did not stop the Mets from emerging victorious, thanks to Brandon Nimmo’s 5-for-5 performance that included a homer and six innings of solid work from the bullpen (New York Post). Scherzer had pitched three scoreless innings before being ejected, allowing one hit and two walks with three strikeouts (USA Today).
According to The Athletic, Scherzer was forced to switch pitching gloves following a previous substance check, which led to his ejection (The Athletic). The ejection came after Scherzer and umpires had a heated conversation during a foreign substance check (Bleacher Report).
Scherzer’s ejection was explained by Sporting News as umpires determining that there was an illegal substance on his glove (Sporting News). The incident also resulted in a loss for the Dodgers, with Noah Syndergaard starting against Scherzer and the Mets in the series finale at Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles Times).
Overall, the ejection of Max Scherzer remains a significant event in the ongoing New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers series.
