Max Scherzer, 41, threw four no-hit innings in his first spring training start since re-signing with the Blue Jays for a $3 million, one-year deal.

  • On Saturday, the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 in Clearwater on a ninth-inning force that scored Rafael Lantigua.
  • Scherzer re-signed this week to give Toronto another run at a World Series title, after a Monday bullpen session at Dunedin, Fla., before his first spring start.
  • Scherzer needed just 40 pitches and threw 29 strikes, recording one strikeout and one walk in his first spring start since re-signing.
  • Relievers Chase Lee, Josh Fleming, Lazaro Estrada and Connor Seabold handled the late innings, with Fleming surrendering both hits, Estrada getting the win, and Seabold earning the save.
  • Highlighting roster context, the Blue Jays noted only 15 players, including Scherzer, have played for Toronto at age 40 or older, with Barry Meister saying 'It is a rarity for players to continue in their 40s.
