Max Scherzer aims to stop Nats losing streak (with lineups)
By Josh Land
PHILADELPHIA - Right-hander Max Scherzer heads to the mound this afternoon to try to stop the Nationals' three-game losing streak. Despite taking the hard-luck loss in his outing on opening day, Scherzer was brilliant, pitching 7 2/3 innings and allowing three unearned runs on just four hits, with two walks and eight strikeouts.
Lefty Clint Robinson gets his second start of the season in left field with the Phillies' starting journeyman, right-hander Sean O'Sullivan, on the mound. Robinson came through with a big pinch-hit RBI single in the eighth inning of last night's loss.
