Sunday’s pitching matchup at Coors Field: Nationals RHP Max Scherzer (8-7, 2.53 ERA) at Rockies RHP German Marquez (14-10, 3.76 ERA), 1:10 p.m. Sunday; ATTRM, 850 AM
This dynamic matchup could determine whether the Rockies can win their first National League West title. Scherzer, a prime candidate for his fourth Cy Young Award, has thrown 220 u2154 innings this season and he hit the magic 300-strikeout mark in his last start. He was on the fence about whether to pitch in the final game of the season, but with the Rockies in the heat of a pennant race, he wanted to be involved.
