Nats Nightly

Washington Nationals' starter Max Scherzer's home run issues continued as he gave up four homers and seven runs in five innings in Wrigley Field this afternoon in what ended up a 8-6 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Two straight losses for the Nats (19-10). The Nationals scored four late to make it look closer than it was and Daniel Murphy had a 4 for 4 day at the plate to get his average back up over .400, but it was another loss for the Nats and another disappointing outing for Max Scherzer. Two more with the Cubs to come.
