Nationals' starter Max Scherzer flirts with perfection again; earns 100th career win

After a no-hitter last Saturday, Washington Nationals' starter Max Scherzer took a perfect game into the sixth inning last night in Citizens Bank Park in what ended up a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Scherzer earned his 100th career win.

Between Milwaukee Brewers' outfielder Carlos Gomez's perfect game-ending bloop single in the seventh inning of Max Scherzer'z June 14th start in Miller Park and Philadelphia Phillies' shortstop Freddy Galvis' one-out double in the sixth inning of last night's game in Citizens Bank Park, the Washington Nationals' 30-year-old starter faced fifty-four batters without allowing a hit.
