Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer got off to a historically bad start during Friday's outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks, becoming the fifth pitcher in MLB history to allow home runs to each of the first three batters, per the Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN.com).
Scherzer surrendered two more runs for a total of five on eight hits and two walks over five innings, striking out nine. The Diamondbacks scored the first five runs of the contest, but Washington scored the next five before Enny Romero allowed a walk-off single to Arizona's Brandon Drury.
