NEW YORK (AP) — New York Mets ace Max Scherzer said he was feeling fine Sunday, a day after he exited after a start after five innings because of fatigue on his left side. The three-time Cy Young Award winner remained on schedule to start Friday night for the NL East leaders at Miami. Scherzer missed almost seven weeks earlier this season with a left oblique injury. Scherzer came out after 67 pitches Saturday against the Nationals. The 38-year-old righty allowed one run and three hits, striking out five and walking one. Scherzer is 9-4 with a 2.26 ERA in 20 starts in his first season with the Mets. He has struck out 153 in 127 2/3 innings.
