May 2 (UPI) -- Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer tossed a complete game before rushing to a local hospital to be with his wife, Erica, for the birth of their third child Sunday night.
Scherzer (2-2) allowed only one run and five hits in Washington's 3-1 win over the Miami Marlins before hustling out of Nationals Park. The Nationals' ace carried a shutout into the ninth inning before Isan Diaz led off with a home run.
