Clayton Kershaw vs. Max Scherzer: Who Truly Dominated Baseball’s Ultimate Showdown?
“Obviously, pitching against Scherz, you know you’re gonna have a battle on your hands,” Kershaw said afterward. “I got to play with him, I got to compete against him, basically our whole careers.”
Indeed, the first time Kershaw and Scherzer crossed paths was on this same field almost two decades prior. On Sept. 7, 2008, Kershaw filled in for one future Hall of Famer, Greg Maddux. Scherzer did the same for another, Randy Johnson, while playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
“You go back to that game, we’re competing all the way back then,” Scherzer said. “It’s kind of a cool little milestone moment here, where we’re hooking it back up against each other, squaring off each other again.”
