Max Scherzer allows five runs, takes no-decision against Pirates
by Rose Ingberman | Rangers Correspondent | Sat, Jul 25th 7:48pm EDT
Max Scherzer went only five innings, allowing five runs on seven hits (three homers), walking one and striking out eight (98 pitches, Game Score 40). The Nats' offense woke up and scored five runs, so a reliever took the 7-5 loss.
Fantasy Impact:
Scherzer (10-8, 2.33) has been the victim of bad luck and low run support but this one is all on him, as the Pirates took advantage of mistake pitches. His K/BB ratio of 10.38 leads all MLB.
