Mets' 2022 plan was to have 2 Aces, Scherzer and deGrom, lead them to the World Series.  It didn't work out in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series as the Padres jumped all over Max Scherzer with 4 home runs - 1 in the first, another in the 2nd and 2 more in the 5th to give them a 7-0 lead.  The seven runs were the most ever allowed by a Mets pitcher in the Post Season.


Except for an Edgardo Escobar homer in the 5th, the Mets couldn't do much against Yu Darvish who went 7 innings scattering 6 hits.
