Max Scherzer will look to continue a dominant stretch when he faces a familiar foe from his past on Tuesday night. Scherzer and the National League East-leading Washington Nationals, fresh off taking two of three from the NL West-leading Giants, host the Cleveland Indians, the American League Central front-runners, in the opener of a two-game series. Cleveland (62-47) has dropped five of seven following a Sunday loss to the New York Yankees, yet the Indians still lead the improving Detroit Tigers in the division race.
