BALTIMORE -- If a dumpster fire and a train wreck had a baby, it’d be the Washington Nationals bullpen.
Dusty Baker is well aware of this, which might have had something to do with the Nats' skipper allowing his ace to face Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones in the eighth inning. To be clear, Max Scherzer had no earthly business facing Adam Jones in the eighth inning.
Sure, the Nats' ace was dominant early. Through five innings, Scherzer -- who already has two no-hitters on his resume -- had another no-no going.
