Support Max Scherzer: Washington Nationals finally came through with runs for their ace...

In back-to-back losses to Cincinnati’s Reds and Milwaukee’s Brewers, Max Scherzer received one run of support, total, in what ended up 2-1 and 3-0 losses in the nation’s capital, and it looked like the Washington Nationals’ ace was headed for another hard-luck loss, or no-decision this past Friday night in the series opener with the Philadelphia Phillies in Citizens Bank Park.

Scherzer gave up just one run through five, as did Phillies’ righty Zack Wheeler, who retired the first nine batters he faced, before giving up a leadoff walk in the top of the fourth which came around to score the first run of the game for either team.
