Washington's first game of the season, a 2-0 loss, was decided by the little things.
Max Scherzer got very little help on Thursday. By Jesse Dougherty Jesse Dougherty Reporter covering the Washington Nationals. Email Bio Follow March 28 at 4:07 PM Right as the Washington Nationals got back to real baseball, with a sellout crowd under a spring sun, with everything counting again, they were nagged by what defined them a year ago.
Cano homered off Scherzer in the first, one of only two hits given up by the Nationals’ ace. Then Cano lofted an RBI single against Matt Grace in the eighth, a slow-motion blooper to shallow left, and the Nationals never had an answer for either run. And it was the Nationals’ first game without Bryce Harper, who’d become a fixture of Washington springs, who instead began this season just a short drive up Interstate-95. The last contest here, 183 days ago, was only a half goodbye for the homegrown star. Harper could have returned. There was always some chance. But he later landed with the rival Philadelphia Phillies, at the tail end of February, and this became yet another step into a new era.
