Max Scherzer took on the Los Angeles Dodgers in Chavez Ravine trying to snap a five-start winless streak, over which he was (0-2) with the Washington Nationals 0-5 in his outings in that stretch.
Scherzer put up a 4.05 ERA, four walks, 44 Ks, and a .271/.292/.414 line against in 33 1⁄3 IP in those starts, with the last one before last night a six-inning outing against the Milwaukee Brewers in Miller Park which saw him give up six hits, a walk, and two runs, one earned, in a 5-3 loss.
