The New York Mets, shortly after agreeing to trade three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer, lost 11-6 to the Washington Nationals. The deal, which a person with knowledge of the details said would send Scherzer to the AL West-leading Texas Rangers, was reported in the first inning, which ended with Washington leading 4-0 after an announced crowd of 30,858 sat through an 80-minute rain delay before the first pitch. Fans were already booing by the time former Mets first baseman Dominic Smith’s two-run single highlighted the inning.
