Max Scherzer pitched a no-hitter and came agonizingly close to a perfect game, hitting a batter with two outs in the ninth inning Saturday in the Washington Nationals' 6-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Scherzer was masterful in retiring the first 26 hitters and came within one strike of throwing the 22nd perfect game in major league history since 1900. Pinch-hitter Jose Tabata then fouled off three 2-2 pitches before Scherzer clipped him on the elbow with a breaking ball.
