Gausman took a tough-luck loss last outing, fanning seven and giving up just two runs in 5 2/3 innings while the O’s offense was unable to put a run on the board all night. The righty is searching for his first win since May 11.
Scherzer has shined in his past two starts, but he made one mistake in each, resulting in two losses. The Nats haven’t scored in Scherzer’s past two outings. The righty is at risk of losing three straight games for the first time since August 2015.
