Wednesday night was absolutely wild for Dodgers fans at the Ravine. Playing the hated Astros, they finally got to see the fruits of Andrew Friedman’s trade deadline labor. And watching Max Scherzer make his debut was exhilarating.
Scherzer settled in and punched out 10 Astros batters through 7 innings of work. The Dodgers’ offense got going early and built him a lead to get him started, and Scherzer didn’t let the fans down.
It all culminated in a 7th inning strikeout of pinch-hitter Chas McCormick. Max jumped off the mound and pumped his fist as Dodgers fans went nuts.
