Max Scherzer allowed one hit, one walk, and one hit batter as he goes for his third low-hit, complete game in a row. If he stays with the progression, (one-hit, no-hit), this one should be perfect. 🙂 He faces the Phillies and Aaron Harang. The Phillies own the third worst batting average in the National League at .241. That makes ripe for another low hitter.

The Braves and Pirates are both reeling a bit after sweeps by the Nationals. Undefeated Williams Perez face Francisco Liriano.

The Cardinals are leaving the NL Central in the dust as the Cubs come to town. Jake Arrieta takes on John Lackey. The Cubs really need a sweep of the series to get back in the race for the top spot in the NL Central, although they still hold the second wild card slot.

Enjoy!
