The Washington Nationals had doubleheader number five on the year facing them Saturday. The hosts managed to dominate throughout, on the day when Jayson Werth was inducted into the Ring of Honor.
One of the main players Werth acknowledged in his speech was Max Scherzer, putting him in the company of Roy Halladay. The Nats ace certainly lived up to that praise in his start in the first game of the day.
Scherzer dominated the Cubs for eight innings, allowing just one run on five hits and struck out 10.
