That beautifully mismatched pair of eyes took the mound for the Nationals in the win-or-go-home NLDS Game 5 against the Dodgers. Fortunately for Scherzer, he had the extra boost of home-field advantage and the resultant backing of tens of thousands of fans.

Unfortunately, the great outing wasn't enough for the Nationals who were defeated, 4-3. The Dodgers are now headed to face the Cubs in the NLCS which you can watch on FOX starting with Game 1 on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
