Scherzer strikes out 16 in throwing one-hitter
MILWAUKEE – Max Scherzer struck out a team-record 16 and threw a one-hitter, losing his perfect-game bid on a bloop single that barely fell in during the seventh inning while pitching Washington to a 4-0 win over Milwaukee on Sunday.
Carlos Gomez got the Brewers’ only hit, leading off the seventh with a broken-bat looper to right field just beyond the outstretched glove of second baseman Anthony Rendon. Scherzer looked the other away after the ball dropped.
In the eighth, Scherzer recorded his only walk.
