Tyler Mahle bounced back from his brutal last outing against the San Francisco Giants with an absolute gem against the Washington Nationals on the night.
What, you don’t remember that game against the Giants? Come to think of it, I cannot seem to recall it, either. Silly box scores just making up crooked numbers, I guess.
Anyway, Mahle went toe to toe with Washington ace Max Scherzer sharing the bump and more than held his own, yielding just 3 H and a lone walk in 5.1 IP, fanning a pair and allowing nary an XBH and no runs.
