(John McDonnell/The Washington Post)NEW YORK — Reynaldo Lopez, not Max Scherzer, will pitch Sunday night against the New York Mets. If I can give a guy an extra day, we’ll give him an extra day,” Baker said. You’d love for Max to pitch against the Mets, but we felt the extra day was more important than Max pitching here.”On Saturday, they listed Lopez instead. “I told them I was good if you want Sunday, but I completely understand if you want to give me an extra day of rest,” Scherzer said. And [Mike Maddux] mapped it out and said I wouldn’t lose a start even if I get an extra day right now.
