5 years agoWashington Nationals starter Max Scherzer will not start Game 5 as the ace is dealing with back spasms. The Nationals will turn to right-hander Joe Ross in this crucial game as the series is tied at 2-2. Scherzer told reporters that he is dealing with a pinched nerve in his neck that is causing the spasms and divulged to the press that he barely could get out of bed. This is a devastating turn of events for the Nationals and will be forced to use their bullpen in an attempt to regain control of the series.--Joey C - RotoBaller
