US EditionBlue Jays Starter Max Scherzer Hopes Performance Against the A's Is Just the Beginning
WEST SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, JUL 12 – Max Scherzer earned his first win in nearly a year as the Blue Jays scored six unearned runs in the fifth inning, extending their recent winning streak to 13 of 15 games.
- Max Scherzer pitched six innings with eight strikeouts and five hits allowed to lead the Blue Jays to a 7-6 win over the Athletics on Friday night in West Sacramento.
- After returning from a 60-day injured list stint due to a thumb injury, Scherzer, who agreed to a one-year deal worth $15.5 million, earned his first win in nearly a year while playing for the Texas Rangers.
- In the fifth inning, Toronto capitalized on defensive miscues, including an error that allowed George Springer to reach base and a mishandled throw by catcher Shea Langeliers during a double steal, resulting in six runs that extended their lead to 7-0.
- John Schneider, the manager of the Blue Jays, praised Scherzer’s performance as thoroughly impressive, while Scherzer himself expressed confidence in his condition, noting that as long as his thumb remains healthy, he can perform at his best.
- Scherzer’s strong outing helped the Toronto Blue Jays maintain their lead in the AL East and extend their record to 13 victories in their last 15 games, while also making him the first Blue Jays pitcher aged 40 or above to earn a win since R.A. Dickey did so in 2015.
