WASHINGTON -- After waiting nearly 24 hours to play the second of four games at Nationals Park, the Cubs committed three errors -- including two in the Nats' five-run sixth -- while succumbing to Max Scherzer's 10th career complete game in a 10-3 loss to open Saturday's doubleheader.
Scherzer (17-6) struck out 11, walked none and allowed nine hits as Washington evened the series at one game apiece. He carried a shutout through six innings before allowing a run in the seventh and two in the ninth.
After Friday night's washout, another rain delay of 2 hours, 10 minutes preceded this one.
