Max Scherzer Pitches Scoreless Eighth Inning and Strikes Out the Side
5 years agoScherzer was needed for a relief appearance in the eighth inning, and he came through with three strikeouts in 14 pitches. He looked as good as ever, and this Dodgers team will have trouble if he comes out like that next start. The Strasburg-Scherzer combo came up huge in game two and we may see the Nationals revisit that well later in the playoffs. He’ll be on the mound Sunday night and will be looking to avenge his troubling first start against the Brewers in which he gave up three earned runs early. The series is tied 1-1 and Scherzer will have the responsibility to either take the lead or fall into a nearly impossible deficit.
