DENVER — Max Scherzer joined the Mile High Club on Friday.

Of Scherzer’s 204 career victories before throwing his first pitch on this night, none had occurred at Coors Field.

That changed after the Mets’ co-ace (yes, he can have that designation back) dominated and got the win with seven brilliant innings that led his team’s 5-2 victory over the Rockies.

The sample size is just three starts since he returned from the neck spasms that caused him to miss a start — he has also battled back discomfort throughout the season — but Scherzer appears to have regained the form he showed for most of last season, when he was among the NL’s top pitchers.

His strongest statement yet came over 102 pitches in the altitude.

Scherzer allowed one earned run on six hits with eight strikeouts over the seven innings and lowered his ERA to 3.54 — the lowest it has been at the completion of a start this season. Scherzer has allowed one earned run or less in each of his past three starts.

“I am starting to turn the corner,” Scherzer said. “I am finally getting healthy.”

The Mets (27-25) got the offense they needed early and then rode Scherzer’s and the bullpen’s coattails to win their second straight. David Robertson, who hadn’t pitched since Sunday, allowed a homer to Charlie Blackmon leading off the eighth before getting three outs. Brooks Raley put two runners aboard in the ninth, prompting manager Buck Showalter to summon Adam Ottavino, who escaped with the save.

Francisco Lindor (homer and four RBIs) and Brandon Nimmo, in his return home (he grew up 1 ½ hours away in Cheyenne, Wyo.), were the offensive stars. Nimmo smashed two triples and reached base five times on a night the Mets managed just seven hits.

Lindor’s homer in the first inning gave the Mets a fast 2-0 lead against Connor Seabold. After Nimmo walked leading off the game, Lindor launched a slider 439 feet over the fence in right-center for his eighth homer of the season.

Ryan McMahon’s homer leading off the second pulled the Rockies within 2-1.

The blast was the first allowed by Scherzer in his past three starts.

McMahon’s shot traveled 430 feet and left the bat at 105 mph.

Nimmo’s triple in the fifth sparked a two-run inning that extended the Mets’ lead to 4-1. Lindor knocked in Nimmo with a single, for his third RBI of the night, before sloppy Rockies defense contributed to a run. McNeil hit a grounder to third that could have been an inning-ending double play, but Alan Trejo mishandled the throw for an error. Brett Baty’s two-out single delivered an unearned run.

“For our offense to give some run support, that’s huge,” Scherzer said. “It allows me to be aggressive. When we go up 4-1 it allows me to attack their hitters, even 3-2 in the count. I don’t have to pitch on pins and needles. It just makes for a great team win when everybody has a hand in it.”

In his previous six career starts at Coors Field, the right-hander was 0-3 with a 6.39 ERA.

“We were kind of looking at what his history has been here and that is right up Max’s alley,” Showalter said. “Any time you tell him you won’t be able to do well, he is going to figure out a way to prove you wrong.”

Scherzer was only missing a spacesuit.

“It’s like playing baseball on the moon,” Scherzer said.

Scherzer retired 11 straight batters after allowing the homer to McMahon. The streak was broken by Trejo’s two-out double in the fifth, but Scherzer struck out Ezequiel Tovar to keep the Mets’ three-run lead intact. Scherzer said blisters on his thumb and middle finger were a factor later in the game, but he was determined to get through the seventh.

Nimmo drew a two-out walk in the sixth to reach base for the fourth time, but the Mets’ two-out rally — which started with Francisco Alvarez’s single — stalled as Lindor was retired with runners on first and second. Nimmo tripled in the ninth and scored the Mets’ final run on Lindor’s long sacrifice fly to left field.

Eduardo Escobar booted Trejo’s grounder to third base in the ninth, but Lindor alertly grabbed the ball and threw to second, where Nolan Jones had rounded the bag. McNeil applied the tag for the second out, leaving runners on the corners.

“That was all Jeff right there,” Lindor said. “I ran to get the ball. I was looking at the runner around third that was going toward home plate, but I saw the coach give him the stop sign. All I heard was Jeff screaming, ‘Two.’ So I just threw the ball to second base and Jeff got him. That one is all Jeff.”
