Did you know: Scherzer's historic two starts

That conversation, of course, usually begins with former Reds starter Johnny Vander Meer, who famously hurled back-to-back no-hitters in June 1938. That said, Vander Meer walked 11 batters in those two outings, including eight in hist history-making second no-hitter.

As for Scherzer, he made plenty of history of his own with Saturday's no-hitter, which came on the heels of a 16-strikeout, one-hit shutout on Sunday against the Brewers.
