Washington Nationals’ Scherzer throws his second no-hitter of the year
Washington Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer joined an elite club on Saturday when he threw his second no-hitter of the season in their win over the New York Mets. The 31-year-old became just the sixth player to achieve the feat. Scherzer threw 80 strikes in 109 pitches and recorded a career-high 17 strikeouts in a masterful performance in chilly conditions in New York.
You’re in synch with your mechanics, in synch with the catcher and in synch with what you want to do.

His previous no-hitter this season came on June 20 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. And just like that one Scherzer retired the first 26 batters he faced. Scherzer, who won the 2013 AL Cy Young award when he was with Detroit, tied the major league record for strikeouts in a no-hitter set by Nolan Ryan in 1973.
You’re speechless when you hear stuff like that.
Scherzer.
