Home plate umpire, Larry Vanover called a wide zone, leading to an unlikely pitching duel in Washington, D.C. Taylor Widener held his own against Max Schezer. The game was two outs from going into scoreless extras when Kyle Schwarber walked off the Nationals by launching his first home run in a Washington uniform, a 463-foot blast off of reliever Taylor Clarke.
Taylor Widener continues to impress in the Arizona rotation. On Friday, he was matched up against multi-Cy Young Award winner, Max Scherzer, who was on his game. When Widener’s night was over, the game was still scoreless,.
