Max Scherzer gave up an uncharacteristic four runs on four solo home runs in six innings of work in his 2021 debut, but the Washington Nationals’ ace had given up just one run in 19 IP since, walking four and striking out 24 in his last three outings heading into his matchup on the road in Dunedin, FL against the Toronto Blue Jays last night.
Scherzer talked after his start against the St. Louis Cardinals last week in the nation’s capital about his success following the less-than-stellar initial appearance this season, and his work to limit the walks and pound the strike zone as he sharpened his game.
