The Mets are starting to come around.

Emphasis on starting.

Max Scherzer became the latest Mets 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 the Mets.

The Mets (30-27) outplayed Philadelphia 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.

Scherzer allowed two runs — just one earned — in seven innings in which he blew fastball after fastball past Phillies hitters.

In four starts since missing a turn due to neck spasms, Scherzer has allowed three earned runs in 25 innings.

Senga has given up four runs in his past three starts.

Carrasco, after a rough beginning to the season and after an elbow injury, has sliced his ERA from 8.68 to 5.74 with two quality starts.

With Justin Verlander — coming off a rough outing in Coors Field — pitching Friday and Jose Quintana rehabbing, a healthy and rolling Mets rotation is abruptly within view.

Scherzer, who had been sidelined with both injuries (the neck, right scapula discomfort) and suspensions (10 games for a failed sticky-stuff inspection), finally looks healthy and rolling.

The 38-year-old struck out nine and allowed just five hits and a walk.

After a sideways first inning, Scherzer only allowed one Phillies batter (Nick Castellanos in the fourth inning) to reach scoring position.

Scherzer bore down and got Kody Clemens to ground out to escape.

Scherzer’s fastball had more life and velocity and drew whiff after whiff.

The Phillies swung at his four-seamer 24 times and missed 15.

Once Scherzer was pulled, Jeff Brigham, Brooks Raley (pitching for a second day straight) and Drew Smith (second career save) recorded the final six outs.

Manager Buck Showalter stayed away from David Robertson and Adam Ottavino, who both had pitched in the first two games of the series, and the bullpen middlemen came through.

The Mets’ pitching did not need much assistance from the club’s batters, who relied on timely hits (a few) rather than an abundance of hits (finishing with four).

The Mets, down 2-0 in the third inning, drew a pair of two-out walks against ex-Met Taijuan Walker before Jeff McNeil singled into center to drive in Brandon Nimmo.

An inning later, the suddenly hot Mark Canha drilled a Walker fastball to left for a two-run homer, his second in as many days after the outfielder went 19 straight games without homering.

Canha knocked in 12 runs in his first 47 games and now has six RBIs in two games.

The blast gave the Mets a lead they would pad in the sixth.

Some smallball and quality at-bats from the Baby Mets added the insurance run, when Brett Baty led off with a double and reached third on Starling Marte’s bunt.

With Philadelphia lefty Matt Strahm on the mound, Showalter replaced Daniel Vogelbach with Mark Vientos, who swatted a sacrifice fly to center.

Forgotten by the end was the troublesome beginning, when the Phillies scored two runs with one hit and one Baby Met error in the first inning.

Trea Turner (who singled) and Bryce Harper (who walked) attempted a double-steal, and Francisco Alvarez’s throw sailed into left field to allow Turner to score and Harper to reach third.

Nick Castellanos’ sacrifice fly put the Mets in an early two-run hole.

But the Mets, who are coming together, have started to learn how to escape these holes.
