Brian Joura Mets360: "Life is apparently throwing everything it can against the Mets here in April and the club just keeps responding in a terrific manner. Today, the Mets overcame an ejection of Max Scherzer and the departure of Starling Marte to defeat the Dodgers, 5-3, and capture the series win Wednesday afternoon in L.A." 


Mets.com: Scherzer ejected after umpire inspection. "Suspension is possible for Mets ace, who gets tossed in fourth inning of New York's win."

Metstradamus: "But this team has all the hallmarks of a truly legit team. And if the Braves are truly having a World Series hangover, the Mets have a chance … probably their only chance … to run away and hide."
