Max Scherzer took the mound tonight in the series opener with the Miami Marlins unbeaten in his last seven starts, over which he was (5-0) with a 2.25 ERA, 10 walks, 53 strikeouts, and a .195/.243/.362 line against in 48 innings pitched.
One of the wins in that unbeaten streak came against the Fish, when the Nationals’ back-to-back, defending NL Cy Young award winner held the Marlins to an unearned run and a total of three hits over eighth innings on the mound in Marlins Park.
