Citi Field has seen plenty of Max Scherzer, but for the first time on Tuesday night, he took the mound there as a Met. The right-hander didn’t take long to get the crowd of 27,490 hanging on his every pitch.

Scherzer flirted with throwing a no-hitter, recording two outs in the sixth inning before giving up his first and only hit of the game, and struck out 10 over seven innings to lead the Mets to a 3-1 win over the Giants on a cold night in Queens.

It completed a doubleheader sweep after Francisco Lindor secured his first walk-off as a Met for a 5-4 win in Game 1, improving Buck Showalter’s club to 9-3 with a strong start to a four-game series against the reigning NL West champs.

The Las Vegas Raiders have made some big changes this offseason, but they proved that they are still very much committed to Derek Carr.

Carr and the Raiders have agreed to a three-year, $121.5 million contract extension. Carr had one more year left on his previous deal, so the new one ties him to Las Vegas through the 2025 season.

The new contract includes a no-trade clause.

Carr’s representatives have been working on a new contract with the Raiders since the start of the offseason. 

Carr, 31, threw for 4,804 yards, 23 touchdowns and 14 interceptions last season while leading the Raiders to the playoffs. He has to be thrilled with the way his offseason has gone.

Buck Showalter was the perfect hire for the Mets. This franchise badly needed a voice in the dugout that has been there before, that has managed in the big leagues and on the biggest stage.

Showalter has managed in New York and has won over 1,500 games in his career.

“It was Buck’s ability to connect to a wide range of people, his drive to compete, his curiosity blended with his experience and his overall adaptability that led us to naming him the manager of the New York Mets,” said GM Billy Eppler said.

He is the guy that can get the Mets to the promised land. Can Buck Showalter lead the Mets to a World Series title in his three years at the helm? It’s quite possible!
