ATLANTA — Max Scherzer proved in his first start at SunTrust Park that the Atlanta Braves’ new ballpark doesn’t have to be a hitter’s paradise.
He’ll look to do it again Saturday, though the location of the game doesn’t seem to matter for Scherzer.
Heading into the second game of the three-game series, the Washington right-hander is 5-0 with a 3.12 ERA in his last starts against the Braves since the start of last season.
“I don’t pitch according to the park,” said Scherzer, who limited the Braves to two hits over seven scoreless innings in Washington’s 3-1 victory April 18.
