Scherzer Starts the Blue Jays Win

35 minutes Posted Jul 28, 2026 at 5:41 am.

) Will Scherzer go into the Hall of Fame with a Nats hat on his plaque?

) The offense struggled against Toronto's stout bullpen. Andres Chaparro's 5th inning solo homer was the only run that the Nats mustered against that unit.

) Eddie Yean served as the Opener and pitched into the top of the 3rd. Yean only needed 11 pitches to get through the first two innings, but then allowed two Blue Jay runs.

) Alvarez took the ball from Yean and then was sent down to AAA following the loss. Will Jake Irvin take his spot in the rotation?

) The Pirates and Diamondbacks are playing each other this week in Pittsburgh. The Pirates won 3-2 in extras on Monday night to even Arizona for the final wild card spot. Washington is just a game back in the standings of these two teams.
