WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals will have two players in the 2015 All-Star Game, and the Baltimore Orioles will have four.

Pitcher Max Scherzer has been named to the 2015 National League All-Star team, joining Bryce Harper, who was elected Sunday with a record number of votes.

Just last month, Scherzer threw a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates and came within one strike of a perfect game.

Four Orioles will also be represented at the All-Star Game. Adam Jones, Manny Machado, Darren O’Day and Zach Britton were selected Monday for the American League team.
