"Max Scherzer was battling and the Washington Nationals season was on the line. It was Game 7 of the 2019 World Series and Scherzer was doing everything in his control to give the Nationals their first championship in franchise history. Scherzer missed his prior start due to neck and back spasms, which must have been excruciating knowing his competitiveness as a pitcher. In that deciding game, Yuli Gurriel touched him up for a solo home run in the second inning."
"The Nationals eventually won the World Series after a late rally and Scherzer was a huge contributor. Scherzer is not a stranger to the World Series stage. He's appeared in four Fall Classics with four different teams, most recently with the 2023 Texas Rangers. In all, he has a record of 1-0 with a 3.26 ERA and 19 strikeouts in four World Series appearances during his career."
