WASHINGTON – Kyle Schwarber ended the game with a maneuver in the new home, and the Washington national team defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 1-0 on Friday.
Before the electrifying outburst, Max Scherzer put Cy Young on the list of pitchers with the most shots in history.
Fighting him on the left, Schwarber found a 2-1 left-hander Alex Young (0-3) and landed the fire that sent the ball to the right field, about 463 from the plate, for his first homer with Washington.
Brad Hand (1-0) solved the ninth goal chapter to win. The national team allowed only three shots.
For Diamondbacks, Venezuelans Asdrúbal Cabrera 4-0, David Peralta 3-0, Eduardo Escobar 3-0.
For the national team, the Dominicans Juan Soto 3-0, Starlin Castro 3-1, Victor Robles 3-1.
Scherzer, a three-time recipient of Young Young, passed the man behind the trophy. He eliminated all three opponents in the seventh half and ranked 22nd on the list of the greatest players in history.
The day ended with 10 fans, for a total of 2,808.
