Francisco Lindor had three hits and three RBIs as New York took the opener 8-5, and the Mets stretched their NL East lead to 5 1/2 games.
Lindor reached twice in the late game and scored on shortstop Dansby Swanson's throwing error while Max Fried nearly was injured on the play. The strikeout to Ozuna pulled Scherzer into a tie for 14th on the career list with former Detroit teammate Justin Verlander at 3,140. Swanson committed two errors and Riley had a throwing error in the sixth on a soft grounder by Darin Ruf.
Fried slipped and fell down face-first, and his knees hit the ground hard as attempted to get Lindor at home.
