Max Scherzer And Wife Welcome Baby Boy Shortly After His Complete Game On Sunday

Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer had one hell of a Sunday.

First, the strikeout wizard went all nine innings in his win over the Marlins. But Scherzer had to dip out before fulfilling his media obligations, and he had a pretty good excuse. Scherzer’s wife, Erica, was in labor.

Luckily, the whole Scherzer family looks happy and healthy.

Derek will always be told the story of how his dad dominated an MLB baseball game on the same day that he was born.

Congratulations to Erica and Max Scherzer on their new baby boy!
