Bryce Harper homered again off Max Scherzer and the Philadelphia Phillies became the first team to beat the new Mets ace, snapping a four-game skid by topping New York 3-2 Sunday to open a doubleheader.
Harper, using a pink bat for Mother’s Day, drove a 94 mph fastball from Scherzer over the wall in right for a solo homer with two outs in the first. He screamed, “I love you, Mom!” into a TV camera before returning to the dugout.Harper added an RBI single in the third. The reigning NL MVP also homered off Scherzer, his former Washington teammate, on May 1.
The single-admission doubleheader was part of a makeup after games between the teams were rained out Friday and Saturday. “You have to go out there and give your team a chance to win. That’s your job as a starting pitcher to give your team a chance to win and pitch deep in the ballgame. I’ve been doing that, at least giving the team a chance to win, and they’ve been picking me up. It’s been kind of a team stat, but it’s good to have a role in it,” he said.
