A 37-year-old veteran starting pitcher made a splendid transfer ceremony.
Max Scherzer finally changed his shirt on the last trade deadline.The Washington Nationals fell to the bottom of the National League East early this season, and Scherzer still had a competitive edge.Moreover, he will be released as a free agent after this season.Rivals in the National League West Division, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, fought for a signing.Scherzer wore a Dodgers jersey, although there were reports in the US media that a trip to San Diego was imminent.Starting with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2008,the Detroit Tigers and Washington are their fourth team.
For the Dodgers, winning the World Series for the second time in a row is a major challenge.Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw started the season with the Trevor Bauer trio,the largest FA. However,Kershaw has been withdrawn due to elbow pain and Bauer due to violence against women.Top prospect Dustin May ended the season after undergoing elbow surgery.That's why I caught Scherzer.
Scherzer's Dodgers debut was good.On the 5th,he won 9 wins (4 losses) of the season with 7 innings, 5 hits (1 home run), 10 strikeouts,1 walk and 2 runs in the 2021 MLB home game against the Houston Astros at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California,USA on the 5th.His ERA is 2.75. He got a solo shot by Michael Brantley in the first inning and allowed one more run in the fourth, but there was no problem in leading the team to victory. The Dodgers won 7-5.
He is now a 37-year-old veteran.However, he still boasts the best pitch and strikeout ability in the major leagues.The honor of the 3rd Cy Young Award winner is alive.He is also strong in the postseason with a 3.38 ERA in 22 games with 7 wins and 5 losses.For the Dodgers, the harvest is when Scherzer showed off his strength from the first game.
Scherzer received a warm applause from the Dodgers fans after finishing his pitch. Scherzer also thanked the fans directly.It is a significant career 184 wins.
