Scherzer Fans 10 for First Win Since March, Blue Jays Blank Mariners 7-0 to Complete Sweep

On Sunday, pitcher Max Scherzer threw a season-high seven sterling innings of one-hit shutout ball, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a 7-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners and completing a three-game sweep at Rogers Centre.
Channelling his 'Mad Max' persona, Scherzer struck out a season-high 10 batters to record his 3,535th career strikeout, moving past Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry into ninth place on the all-time list.
The Blue Jays' offense surged behind home runs from Alejandro Kirk and Kazuma Okamoto, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added a 108.5 m.p.h. RBI double to extend the lead.
Following the win, the Blue Jays remain 1.5 games behind the Cleveland Guardians for the third American League wild-card spot, marking progress in their playoff chase.
Beginning Tuesday, the Blue Jays will travel to Cleveland's Progressive Field for a three-game series against the Guardians, while the Mariners face Boston on Monday against Red Sox LHP Payton Tolle.
