Nationals' Max Scherzer: Start vs. Phillies postponed

Scherzer's scheduled start against the Phillies on Thursday was postponed, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The two teams are not expected to play Thursday as they protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake. It's not yet known when the game will be made up. While nothing is official, Scherzer will likely get the ball for Friday's series opener against Boston.
