With the season on line in Game 4 of the NLDS with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Max Scherzer gave the Washington Nationals seven strong innings, holding LA’s hitters to one run on four hits, walking three, and striking out seven in a 109-pitch effort in the Nats’ 6-1 win.
Scherzer, 35, talked after the outing about believing that something special was going on in the nation’s capital.
“We just believe that we got some mojo and that we can win,” Scherzer told reporters. “We just believe in this clubhouse, what we have here, what we built here, and we have talked about it, that we just have [that] it factor and we just know we got 25 guys that are going to lay it on the line every single time for each other and that’s hard to replicate.
