Scherzer gave Strasburg a pat on the back as he returned to dugout. Then after Strasburg sat down, they had an animated back-and-forth. Both got up and stormed down the steps toward the clubhouse.

Scherzer and Strasburg met with Martinez in his office for 15 minutes or so postgame. Strasburg on what happened: “Part of family. You have to be in the family (to know).”

Martinez said they had a good conversation and “they’re good.”

Davey: "We had a really good conversation. I'll just say that. It was addressed. Look, they're very competitive. Everybody is. I'm glad we talked. It's over. Let's move forward. These guys are professionals. We're good. I'm good that we had the conversation."

More Davey: "The way I look at it, they want to take ownership. I gather that's what it was about. They sat there and there's two guys that are very competitive, and they got heated up and that was it."
