Davey Martinez knows very well what the Washington Nationals are going to be going up against tonight when they take on Max Scherzer and the New York Mets in Game 2 of 162.
Scherzer, of course, spent seven total seasons in D.C., helping to win the 2019 World Series, tossing a couple no-hitters, taking home two Cy Youngs, and even striking out 20 batters in a game during his time in the nation’s capital.
Tonight, Scherzer will return to his former home to take on the Nationals, after he was dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers last July, and signed on in New York over the winter, taking a 3-year/$130M deal from Washington’s NL East rivals.
