WASHINGTON -- The dominance has almost become routine at Nationals Park. The way, every fifth day, Max Scherzer takes the mound and continues to write another chapter of his place in the history books. After back-to-back Cy Young awards the past two seasons, he has started the 2018 season looking more unhittable than ever and has been awarded the National League's Pitcher of the Month for the first two months to begin the season.
His latest masterpiece came Tuesday night when he collected 13 strikeouts in eight innings of two-run ball, including an immaculate sixth inning, to lead Washington to a 4-2 victory over Tampa Bay.
