MAX SCHERZER NEWS

Fans 10 in loss Scherzer (4-3) allowed six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out 10 over 5.1 innings as he was charged with the loss Sunday against Atlanta.

Impact Scherzer posted his fifth stat line with double-digit strikeouts this season, and he was relatively effective early on as he allowed just two runs over the first four innings. However, things came apart in the sixth inning as he allowed four more runs prior to being pulled. As a result, the right-hander was charged with the loss in one of his worst starts of 2020. He'll attempt to turn things around on the road Saturday against Miami.

Shuts down Rays for fourth win Scherzer (4-2) picked up the win in Monday's 6-1 victory over the Rays, scattering six hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings while striking out eight.

Impact The right-hander reeled off his third straight quality start in one of his best performances of the season, as Scherzer threw 104 pitches (70 strikes) and didn't allow a baserunner past second base. He lowered his ERA to 3.40 in the process, and he'll carry a 69:17 K:BB through 50.1 innings into his next outing Sunday, at home against Atlanta.

Impact It wasn't the prettiest outing for Scherzer but he still pitched well enough to give his team a fighting chance. Unfortunately, the Nationals' offense collected just three hits and was unable to get on the scoreboard. Scherzer is having a down year in comparison to recent seasons but still owns a healthy 3.95 ERA and a 61:16 K:BB across 43.1 innings. He'll take the mound next against the Rays on Monday.

Fans 11 for third win Scherzer (3-1) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on six hits over six innings in a 10-2 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out 11 without walking a batter,

Impact The right-hander has now won three of his last four starts, and the double-digit strikeout game was his fourth of the year in seven trips to the mound. Scherzer has had trouble staying healthy and finding his usual Cy Young form to begin 2020, leading to an uncharacteristic 3.86 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 37.1 innings, but his 55:13 K:BB is as dominant as ever. The 36-year-old will try to keep rolling in his next outing Wednesday in Philadelphia.
