The Washington Nationals have now lost 4 in a row and will turn to their ace, Max Scherzer, to pull them out of their funk when they conclude a 3-game set against the San Francisco Giants in an early one at AT&T Park. Scherzer has a record of 4-1, with an ERA of just 1.36, a 0.76 WHIP, and has yielded only 18 hits with 47 strikeouts in 33 innings of work. Now that is dominance. The Giants will turn to Jeff Samardzija and he was impressive in his season debut on Friday, when the Giants pummeled the Los Angeles Angels, 8-1. However, Samardzija has struggled in his career against Washington, with a record of 2-7, a 4.07 ERA, and the Giants are 0-4 in his last 4 outings against the Nats. Washington should get back on track today.
