Going up against a right-hand heavy Arizona Diamondbacks’ lineup on Thursday, in the series finale with the D-Backs in Washington, D.C., Nationals’ right-hander Max Scherzer decided he needed to focus on throwing his changeup more often, as he told reporters after the Nats’ 4-2 win.
“I thought I needed to start incorporating the change-up to righties today,” Scherzer said, as quoted by Washington Post writer Chelsea Janes after the game.
