Nats hurler Scherzer may miss rest of Fall Classic

Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer’s status for the remainder of the World Series is still unknown after the three-time Cy Young Award winner was scratched from his Game 5 start on Sunday because of nerve irritation near his neck.

Houston can wrap up its second title in three seasons tonight at Minute Maid Park when Justin Verlander takes the mound against Stephen Strasburg. If Game Seven is needed, it would be tomorrow night in Houston.
