The Nationals walked six times against deGrom in his last start, a rare struggle for the right-hander. But deGrom also struck out 10 batters in that outing, allowing three runs. He’ll look for more success Saturday, this time at Nationals Park.
Scherzer went a season-high eight innings Sunday against the Mets, using his rising fastball to fan nine while walking just one. He’s made quality starts each time out, with the gem being seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball in Atlanta.
