The Mets are starting to come around. Emphasis on starting.

Max Scherzer became the latest starter to silence the Phillies in a 4-2, sweep-clinching victory at Citi Field on a gorgeous afternoon for the 38,302 on hand and for the Mets.

The Mets (30-27) outplayed Philadelphia (25-31) in the three-game set, won their eighth straight home game and await the Blue Jays, who  visit Queens on Friday.

In a series in which the Mets dominated, their bats were barely needed. Kodai Senga, Carlos Carrasco and Scherzer combined to pitch 20 innings in which they gave up two earned runs.

The Mets improved to 16-0 in games their starter goes at least six innings, a testament to both strong bullpen work and the sky-high upside of a rotation with two future Hall of Famers, one of whom starred Thursday.

“He’s been Max,” manager Buck Showalter said of Scherzer, who confirmed as much.
