Max Scherzer, eye blackened horribly from the broken nose he suffered on a fouled off bunt that hit him in the face in BP last night, took the mound against the Philadelphia Phillies and tossed seven scoreless on 117 pitches, striking out 10 of the 27 batters he faced in a 2-0 win for the Washington Nationals in the nation’s capital.
Scherzer vs the Phillies: Yeah, Max Scherzer broke his nose when he fouled a bunt off of his face in batting practice yesterday, but did you think, even for a second that that would keep the 34-year-old Nationals’ ace off the mound?
