March 28 (UPI) -- Robinson Cano's New York Mets tenure is off to a great start after homering off Max Scherzer in his first at-bat for the franchise Thursday in Washington, D.C.
Scherzer appeared to be his dominant self early on. The three-time Cy Young Award winner began the game by striking out Brandon Nimmo and Pete Alonso, bringing Cano to the plate with two outs.
