Domingo Germán vs. Max Scherzer. A slumping Yankees lineup against one of the greatest pitchers of our generation — any generation, really. A Mets lineup that has been one of the most potent in the league in August against the Yankees’ No. 5 starter. We know how that story ends: The closest thing that Scherzer has received to a shellacking in 2022 and a 4-2 Yankees win over the Mets.
Wait, what?
Against a guy like Scherzer, you want to take advantage of every opportunity that you get, and that’s exactly what the Yankees accomplished tonight.
