The Washington Nationals have been on a roll lately, and Max Scherzer has been a big part of that success. On Tuesday night, Scherzer led the Nationals to their eighth consecutive victory over the Oakland Athletics, making it the longest winning streak against the Athletics in franchise history.
Scherzer was dominant in the game, pitching seven innings and allowing just one run on four hits. He struck out nine batters and walked none, showing why he is one of the best pitchers in the game today. His performance was even more impressive considering the Athletics have one of the best lineups in the majors.
The Nationals offense also played a big role in the victory. They scored five runs on nine hits, including a two-run home run from shortstop Trea Turner. The Nationals have been hitting the ball well lately, and it’s been a big part of their success.
The Nationals have now won eight straight games against the Athletics, and it’s a testament to how well they have been playing lately. They are now just two games behind the Atlanta Braves for first place in the National League East. With Max Scherzer leading the way, the Nationals look poised to make a deep run in the playoffs this year.
