00:01Max in his career 10 starts

00:03against the Giants 3.86 the ERA

00:06four and five the overall record.

00:08Well you guys know him well Max

00:10has a five pitch repertoire.

00:12It all starts with this fastball

00:14fastball command he uses about

00:16forty seven percent of the time.

00:17He has a great change up that he

00:18uses only against lefties and

00:20against right handers.

00:21He also throws his slider more

00:22often.

00:24And this one hit pretty well to

00:25left.

00:26Schwarber circling.

00:28Here's the first baseman

00:29Brandon Belt Scherzer tried to

00:31run the fastball to the inside

00:32edge.

00:33Just a little bit off in there so

00:35far pulling it to his glove side

00:37what's going on.

00:39Max is trying to stretch some of

00:40the infielders are walking toward

00:41the mound shows Davey Martinez and

00:44here comes Paul Lessard.

00:46Oh my.

00:47So Jan Gomes will catch a couple

00:48of tosses here.

00:50That does not look good.

00:51Something has happened and Max

00:52Scherzer is leaving this game.

00:55What else can go wrong this year

00:57and Max had a little strike.

00:58Stutter step or a hiccup as he

01:00landed there.

01:02Yeah a little hop at the end.

01:03Goes for a walk.

01:04He took a glance over to the

01:05dugout.

01:07And now he signals to Jan Gomes

01:08that something is not right.

01:10And by that stretch there I think

01:11it's possibly lower back for Max

01:13to even let you know Davey and

01:15the trainer come out to the

01:16mound.

01:17I didn't feel something kind of

01:18serious.

01:19Paulo Espino has just come out to

01:21take over this one and he will

01:23inherit a three and two count on

01:25Brandon Belt.

01:27Crawford gets jammed.

01:29Look at Paulo Espino taking the

01:30bat out of a couple of guys

01:31hands.

01:32So he gets a couple of quick

01:33outs around the base set.

01:35And taking the mound for the San

01:36Francisco Giants in D.C.

01:37is Anthony Disclefani.

01:38You look at the numbers there.

01:39Five and two.

01:40Got that fifth win in his last

01:41start against the Cubs.

01:42Thirty one year old right hander.

01:44Really doing a great job facing

01:45those right handed hitters.

01:46That's why you see a few more

01:47lefties in the lineup for the

01:48Nationals.

01:49And that did not last long for

01:52Bell.

01:53Strike three.

01:54Three pitches and out.

01:55On to the second.

01:56Duggar left handed hitters

01:57batting three oh three in thirty

01:58five games.

01:59Six doubles and triple four

02:00homers.

02:01Well Stephen Duggar did take the

02:03bat off his shoulder and

02:04Espino gets him looking.

02:05One for thirty five on the year

02:07against breaking balls and he

02:09gets an 0-2 fastball that he

02:11could not get to.

02:12Up comes the catcher Jan Gomes.

02:14Gomes.

02:16Gomes right center field and the

02:18dive and the catch by Lamont

02:20Wade Jr.

02:21Well done.

02:22It's an incredible play when you

02:23look at it the way he went at it.

02:25Did not hesitate.

02:26Got a great break on the ball.

02:28Full extension.

02:29Superman.

02:30Plus he had to battle the

02:31lights and see him closing his

02:32eyes.

02:33I guarantee you that ball got

02:34into the lights and he's

02:35going fine he's excited and

02:36that's a pitcher's best friend

02:37one pitch one out.

02:38Here's Paulo Espino five outs

02:39and a base hit on eighteen

02:41pitches so far.

02:42Fourteen strikes and relief of

02:43Max Scherzer right in there.

02:46And right now Paulo Espino is

02:48giving some of these hitters

02:49the unexpected.

02:52And out to left.

02:53Schwarber measures it.

02:54Paulo Espino.

02:55Sometimes you do your best work

02:57when you're not expecting to

02:58work.

02:59Mercer two thirty six average

03:01fifty five at bats no homers

03:02no RBIs.

03:03Oh nasty strike three.

03:06Strike three.

03:07Second strikeout for the

03:08Slifani.

03:09Espino the pitcher.

03:10He's only had two at bats.

03:11He's 0 for 2.

03:12Well he puts Espino away post

03:15haste.

03:16Nine in a row retired by

03:17Slifani.

03:18Brandon Belt who's batting now

03:20was at the plate when Max

03:21Scherzer had to leave the game.

03:22Seventy one on the curveball.

03:25Paulo Espino strikeout number

03:28four.

03:29Buster hit a curveball for a

03:30single to left his first time.

03:32Now here's a curveball in and

03:33Buster hits a high drive deep

03:34to left center field.

03:35Schwarber all the way back to

03:36the wall.

03:37He jumps.

03:38He can't get it.

03:39Goodbye.

03:40That's a home run for Buster

03:42Posey.

03:43He just kept throwing in

03:44curveballs.

03:45And Buster hits this one into

03:47the Giants bullpen.

03:48One nothing Giants.

03:50The eleventh home run of the

03:52year for Buster Posey.

03:54Dougher left handed hitting

03:55center fielder.

03:56Oh he's going to get a high

03:58strike call.

03:59Dougher doesn't like it.

04:00So with two outs the Giants

04:02have two on and brings in

04:03Mike Tauchman.

04:04That's a swing.

04:05Good block by Gomes hitting

04:07over.

04:08Yontag the batter before and

04:09after he had the baseball.

04:10Big strikeout from McGowan.

04:12Trey Turner leads off the

04:13bottom of the fourth.

04:14And Trey will calmly take it

04:16to right center.

04:17He's going to make a big

04:18round to the bag.

04:19Wade comes up cleanly with it.

04:21And the Nets have their first

04:24hit and base runner.

04:25Juan Soto grinded out in the

04:28over shift to Solano back in

04:30the first inning.

04:31And he got him swinging.

04:32That is not easy to do.

04:33He does not do a whole lot of

04:34that.

04:34Soto does not punch out a whole

04:36lot.

04:37Here is Josh Bell.

04:39Bell up the middle Crawford

04:41there for one and for two.

04:43How about that.

04:44Lead off single with the big

04:45hitters coming up and Dee

04:47Sclevani pitches right

04:48through it.

04:49John Gomes coming up now.

04:52There's a ground ball.

04:53How about that.

04:54Let's just get two outs at

04:55once.

04:56Giants turn it to down.

04:57Nobody on Starling Castro

04:58now.

05:00Strike three call right on the

05:02outside corner.

05:03Bell Posey Crawford coming up.

05:05Shortstop Brandon Crawford is

05:06one for two.

05:08And Josh Bell right to the

05:10bag.

05:11Nice inning for Wander Suero.

05:13And here comes Robles.

05:14Now a swing and a high pop up.

05:17Belt the first baseman drifting

05:18back.

05:19Knight comes in and toward the

05:20foul line and makes the catch.

05:22Robles retired two down in the

05:24sixth inning.

05:25And Yadiel Hernandez will indeed

05:27be the pinch hitter now.

05:29He threw it right on the

05:31outside.

05:32Got the foul tip for strike three.

05:33Six very strong innings.

05:35Jonathan Solano the batter.

05:37Slow roller.

05:39Castro has one chance.

05:40Bare hand.

05:42And the call is out at first.

05:45Josh Bell stretching and

05:47stretching to stay on that bag.

05:50And Castro ended up almost down

05:52toward the Giants on deck

05:53circle left of that block.

05:56Great bare handed throw.

05:58Let's see if Josh Bell's able to

05:59keep those toes on it.

06:00Hard to tell from that angle.

06:01I think he's out there.

06:02What do you think?

06:04I think that they have him.

06:05Now it's Juan Soto third time

06:06around against Anthony Di Sclafani.

06:07Sitting on the outside.

06:08That's right over the heart of

06:09the plate.

06:10Deep left center field.

06:11Still going back.

06:12Tauchman leaps.

06:13And he did it again.

06:15He robbed a homerun from Juan

06:16Soto.

06:17He took it.

06:18He took it.

06:19He took it.

06:20He took it.

06:21He took it.

06:22He took it.

06:23He took it.

06:24He took it.

06:25He took it.

06:26He took it.

06:27Soto.

06:28He took it right out of the bullpen.

06:30And Soto can't believe it.

06:32Just as Albert Pujols couldn't

06:33believe it a couple of weeks ago.

06:35Tauchman sizes it up.

06:37Times the leap perfectly.

06:39Pulls it back.

06:40Scattering the bullpen.

06:42Menez.

06:43Soto look into the heavens.

06:45Bottom of the eighth.

06:46The Nationals trail.

06:47The Giants won nothing.

06:48Di Sclafani is still in the game.

06:50And he chased.

06:51And he has done a lot of that

06:52for many many years in the big

06:53league.

06:54Sterling Castro.

06:55That's the seventh strikeout of

06:57the night for Di Sclafani.

06:58Jordy Mercer has struck out and

07:00grounded out to second.

07:01He's 0 for 2.

07:02And he chased strike three.

07:03Eight strong and eight

07:05strikeouts for Di Sclafani.

07:07Giants with one lonely run.

07:10And so far for eight innings

07:12that's been enough due to the

07:14strong efforts of Anthony Di Sclafani

07:16who's allowed only two hits and

07:18one walk.

07:19He's had eight strikeouts.

07:20First ball swinging.

07:22And the pinch hitter Stevenson

07:25pops it up.

07:26It is caught.

07:27Right.

07:28And the top step of the dugout

07:29by Vossler.

07:30Man.

07:31He didn't have any room for error

07:32there.

07:33And he was able to catch it

07:35without tumbling down and

07:36risking life and live.

07:37Two down.

07:38But another one of the

07:39Nationals top hitters.

07:40Trey Turner now.

07:41Fossler the second shutout of

07:48the year for Di Sclafani only

07:50the third of his career and

07:53twice he's done it as a giant.
