Max Scherzer has saved some of its best moments for the Navy Yards neighborhood.
And that is just fine for Nationals fans, who haven’t had much to cheer about this week in a dreary season on the field and in the clouds above water-logged Nationals Park.
Scherzer allowed just one run and five hits in seven innings in a 9-4 win Tuesday over the lowly Marlins, but more importantly, he fanned 10 batters to reach an even 300 for the season.
“It was an awesome feeling having the fans behind you,” said Scherzer, 5-0 this year against the Marlins.
