5. Scherzer vs the Reds: Max Scherzer had a three-start win-streak snapped last time out in a 2-1 loss to the Braves in Atlanta, GA in which he gave up just five hits and two earned runs. He did, however, strike out nine batters in 8 u2153 innings on the mound in Turner Field before an infield single and chopper over third gave the home team a walk-off win.
In spite of the outcome, Scherzer told reporters after the outing that he was happy he made it through another start without giving up a walk, giving him a streak of 26 u2153 innings in which he has avoided any free passes.
