In what is a duel between the top two pitchers in baseball, Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer will square off in a pitching duel that is must-watch TV for any baseball fan. Surprisingly, Kershaw and Scherzer have not had many battles despite both being in the National League. Their last matchup was game one of the NLDS in Kershaw, and the Dodgers got the best of Scherzer and the Nationals.
Neither starter had their “A” game as Kershaw went only five innings allowing three runs and struck out seven. Scherzer went six innings allowing four runs on two home runs, and he struck out only five Dodgers.
