It’s that kind of night at Citi Field:
Max Scherzer, after giving up seven runs in 4 2/3 innings, gets booed off the Citi Field mound. #LGM pic.twitter.com/F2RgwyWLXq

Scherzer’s final line Game 1 line is seven hits, seven runs, four strikeouts, and zero walks in 4 2/3 innings. Trevor May came in to finish the fifth.
Scherzer went 11-5 with 2.29 ERA this season, turning 38 in July. Justified or not, it’s wild to hear the boos after the year he just had, but this will go down as one of his worst postseason starts ever, if not the worst.
