Max Scherzer Takes the Ball for Toronto

One of the biggest storylines entering Monday’s game is the presence of veteran right-hander Max Scherzer on the mound for Toronto.

Scherzer is scheduled to face his former club in Washington, creating an interesting storyline for Blue Jays and Nationals fans alike. The veteran pitcher has a long history with the Nationals, making his return to Nationals Park particularly notable.

Toronto will be hoping Scherzer can give the club a solid start and help keep Washington’s offense from establishing an early rhythm.
