Max Scherzer’s Mets Debut

The Mets landed one of baseball’s preeminent starting pitchers in free agency, signing three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer to an MLB record three-year, $130 million contract. Scherzer’s debut was delayed a day due to hamstring tightness, but the 37-year-old has stated he’s “good to go” for Friday’s contest. His presence becomes even more vital for New York’s long-term success as the club will be without fellow ace Jacob deGrom (shoulder blade) for the foreseeable future.

Nationals Looking to Rebound From Disappointing Home Opener

Washington didn’t give its fans much to cheer about on Thursday, as Dave Martinez’ club managed just six hits in a 5-1 Opening Day loss. Unfortunately, offense will likely again be difficult to come by against the franchise’s former ace.
