These are the kind of big games the Rangers hoped for when they got Scherzer from the New York Mets in a trade-deadline deal this season., when he allowed two runs over five innings without getting the decision in the Nationals’ 6-2 win. He won Game 1 in that Series, but got pushed back because of nerve irritation near his neck and pitched in the final game after getting a cortisone shot.
