EDGE Analysis

All five runs against Scherzer came via the long ball, with Manny Machado providing both home runs. Scherzer has now been taken deep 11 times over his last seven starts, resulting in a 5.63 ERA during that stretch. Despite some recent shakiness, Sunday's loss was his first since May 3 and snapped his streak of six consecutive wins. Scherzer saw his season ERA rise to 4.31 with a 101:23 K:BB through 16 outings.

Scherzer (8-2) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up four runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- and two walks over six innings in an 8-5 victory over the Diamondbacks. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

The 38-year-old wasn't at his sharpest, serving up at least one long ball for the sixth straight start, but Scherzer gave the Mets at least six frames for the fourth straight outings and stuck around long enough to see Francisco Alvarez crush a go-ahead homer in the top of the seventh. Scherzer hasn't lost a game since early May, posting a 3.45 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 74:10 K:BB over his last 60 innings, and he figures to make one more trip to the mound before the All-Star break, on the road against the Padres.

Scherzer allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over six innings in a no-decision against Milwaukee on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer maneuvered through five scoreless frames before Victor Caratini tagged him for a two-run homer in the sixth. The long ball tied the score and kept Scherzer from notching a third straight win, but the veteran hurler still finished with his third consecutive quality start. Since being lit up by the Yankees for six runs over 3.1 frames June 13, Scherzer has allowed just five earned runs over his subsequent 20 innings while posting a 25:4 K:BB. The strong stretch has lowered his ERA to 3.87 on the campaign, though that's still on pace to be his worst mark since 2011 when he was with the Tigers.

Scherzer (7-2) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Phillies, giving up two runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander fired 70 of his 107 pitches for strikes, with 34 called or swinging strikes, en route to his second straight quality start and fifth in his last seven trips to the mound. During that stretch, Scherzer sports a 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and stellar 50:4 K:BB over 43 innings. He's won five straight decisions since a shaky beginning to his Mets tenure, a streak he'll look to continue in his next start, likely to come at home next week against the Brewers.

Scherzer (6-2) earned the win over Houston on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over eight innings.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer had been struggling coming into the contest, giving up 11 runs over nine innings across his previous two starts. He rebounded in impressive fashion against the reigning World Series champions, recording a season-high eight frames during which he yielded just one run. Scherzer posted his fifth quality start of the campaign and improved his ERA to 4.04 with the dominant outing. He's struck out at least eight batters in four of his past five starts after failing to reach that mark in each of his first seven appearances this season.

Scherzer did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits over 3.1 innings in a 7-6 loss against the Yankees. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer imploded in the fourth inning against the Yankees, allowing five runs on six hits before he was pulled. The 38-year-old Scherzer's now allowed 11 runs over his last two starts (nine innings). His ERA is up to 4.45 with a 1.24 WHIP and 60:14 K:BB through 11 starts (56.2 innings) this season. Scherzer will look to get back on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend against the Cardinals.

Scherzer allowed five runs on 11 hits and no walks while striking out 10 batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It was an up-and-down outing for the veteran hurler. On one hand, he struck out a season-high 10 batters and didn't walk anybody while inducing 19 whiffs. On the other, Scherzer gave up a season-high 11 hits and surrendered five runs. Given the quality of the opponent, this start probably isn't going to slow down Scherzer's recent momentum too much, especially considering the multiple positive takeaways. The right-hander still boasts a standout 2.35 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 38:4 K:BB over 30.2 frames across his past five starts.

Scherzer (5-2) earned the win Thursday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk over seven innings against Philadelphia. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer has now won three of his last four starts, allowing just three earned runs over 25 innings in that span while logging 28 strikeouts. The 38-year-old ace has returned to form after a shaky start to the season. Scherzer's ERA is down to 3.21 with a 1.09 WHIP and 48:14 K:BB through nine starts (47.2 innings) this season. He's tentatively lined up to face Atlanta on the road in his next outing.

Scherzer (4-2) earned the win Friday, allowing one run on six hits over seven innings against Colorado. He struck out eight and did not walk a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer has been dealing ever since struggling against the Tigers on May 3, when he coughed up six runs in 3.1 innings. The future Hall of Famer has allowed just two runs combined across his three starts since then, and appears to be finally settled in after dealing with a 10-day suspension and neck spasms over the last few weeks. The right-hander is tentatively slated to face the Phillies at home in his next start.

Scherzer didn't factor in the decision in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against Cleveland after he allowed three hits and one walk across six scoreless innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

The 37-year-old was on track for his fourth win of the season with the Mets leading 3-0 after seven innings, but Adam Ottavino and David Robertson surrendered four runs during the eighth. Scherzer missed out on the win but still delivered his best start of the season, with Sunday's outing being the first time in six starts since Opening Day he's completed six frames. According to Tim Healey of Newsday, Scherzer pitched with some raw skin on his thumb due to a split callus, though the fact he effectively pitched through the issue indicates it shouldn't be a problem moving forward.
