Max Scherzer Starting For National League All-Stars
3 years agoWashington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer is starting for the National League squad in the 2021 All-Star game on Tuesday. Despite being 36 years old, Scherzer has remained one of the best pitchers in baseball. However, he's coming off his worst start of the year last Thursday against the San Diego Padres, when he allowed seven earned runs on five hits (two home runs) in just 3 2/3 innings. He ended up with a no-decision, but he also gave up a grand slam to a relief pitcher. The eight-time All-Star still has a great 2.66 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and excellent 35.5 percent strikeout rate in 98 innings spanning 17 starts this year. He'll be facing two-way star Shohei Ohtani, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Xander Bogaerts to begin the midsummer classic this year.
