Washington Nationals Reaction: Max Scherzer finishes strong, but early struggles doom Nats

Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer has struggled at times during his second season with the team. He got off to a slow start early on in 2016 and then turned things around, but there have been plenty of ups and downs along the way.

For the Nationals, it’s never really clear which Scherzer will show up on the mound during any given start; the Scherzer who only throws strikes and is capable of striking out 20 batters in one game, or the Scherzer who has problems locating his pitches and struggles to keep the ball in the park.
