Washington Nationals’ ace Max Scherzer leaves start vs Pirates with apparent injury...

Max Scherzer left tonights start in the fourth, with an apparent injury, though its not yet clear what the issue was for the 33-year-old right-hander... Max Scherzer left tonights game with one out in the fourth inning after apparently tweaking something in his lower body. There wasnt much of a discussion on the mound as team trainer Paul Lessard, pitching coach Mike Maddux, and Washington Nationals skipper Dusty Baker came out to talk to the 33-year-old right-hander, who simply reacted oddly after throwing an 84 mph changeup to Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Josh Bell.
