Washington Nationals' starter Max Scherzer talked to reporters after his first start of the Spring about getting his work in and making sure not to show the New York Mets' hitters too much since he'll have to face them all season.
The first Grapefruit League start of the second season of Max Scherzer's seven-year, $210M deal with the Nationals was a 22-pitch, 14-strike, two-inning outing against the defending NL East champions from New York in Washington's 9-4 win over the Mets in Viera, Florida's Space Coast Stadium.
Scherzer talked earlier this Spring, when he met with reporters for the first time this year, about trying different things in Spring Training and not showing opponents like the Nationals' divisional rivals too much this early, when he knows he'll have to face them repeatedly this season.
