Max Scherzer struck out 11 of the 23 batters he faced when he went up against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park this past weekend, giving up a run on six hits in six innings on the mound in what ended up a 10-2 win.
Scherzer lowered his ERA to 3.86 in that outing, and finished the night with a .257/.319/.403 line against in seven starts and 37 1⁄3 IP this season.
Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez went to the bullpen after just 92 pitches from Scherzer, who, he said, had more left in the tank.
