Nationals’ Scherzer, 4 O’s make All-Star team

By WTOP Staff

WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals will have two players in the 2015 All-Star Game, and the Baltimore Orioles will have four.

Pitcher Max Scherzer has been named to the 2015 National League All-Star team, joining Bryce Harper, who was elected Sunday with a record number of votes.

Just last month, Scherzer threw a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates and came within one strike of a perfect game.

Four Orioles will also be represented at the All-Star Game. Adam Jones, Manny Machado, Darren O’Day and Zach Britton were selected Monday for the American League team.

The Nuke LaLoosh character in the movie classic "Bull Durham" was loosely based on Dalkowski’s career.
