Washington Nationals' righty Max Scherzer gave up two in a long first and two costly home runs as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied after falling behind and then went ahead for good on a two-run blast by Kirk Nieuwenhuis in the sixth. 5-3 final. Six straight losses.
Last time he took the mound in Milwaukee's Miller Park, in June of 2015, Max Scherzer struck out sixteen batters and took a bid for a perfect game into the seventh inning of what ended up a complete game shutout of the Brewers.
Any thought of a perfect game ended with the first of back-to-back-to-back, one-out walks in the bottom of the first inning tonight in the series opener of the Washington Nationals' three-game set in Wisconsin.
