Washington Nationals' 2015 Season in Review: Max Scherzer's second no-hitter

Max Scherzer no-hit the Pittsburgh Pirates in June in Nationals Park, then held the New York Mets hitless in October in Citi Field, becoming just the fifth major league pitcher to toss two no-hitters in one season. Washington's $210M starter knows there's room for improvement in 2016.

Max Scherzer was one strike away from a perfect game when he hit Pittsburgh Pirates' outfielder Jose Tabata on the left elbow with a slider in what ended up being his first career no-hitter in June.

How was he able to move on from the way his bid for perfection ended and get the next batter?
