Scherzer becomes 139th pitcher to toss 3,000 innings, but Blue Jays fall to Red Sox
Scherzer became the 139th pitcher to reach 3,000 innings, but Toronto managed only two hits and lost its bid for a sweep.
- On Thursday, Max Scherzer reached 3,000 career innings, but the Toronto Blue Jays fell to the Boston Red Sox 7-0, spoiling a potential four-game sweep at Rogers Centre.
- Scherzer, a 42-year-old veteran, achieved the milestone during his 19-year career, joining Justin Verlander as the only other active pitcher among the 138 others in the 3,000-innings club.
- Boston starter Payton Tolle dominated, allowing hits to only Vladimir Guerrero and Nathan Lukes over eight innings while the Blue Jays' offense sputtered.
- In the eighth inning, Caleb Durbin hit a 388-foot grand slam off Chase Lee, giving Boston a 7-0 victory and ending the Red Sox's six-game losing streak.
- Toronto, currently 59-64, remains on the periphery of the playoff picture and travels to Tampa Bay and the Bronx next week for 13 games against division opponents.
