Blue 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 Toronto Blue Jays to a 7-6 victory over the Athletics on Friday night in West Sacramento, Calif.
  • Scherzer made his fourth appearance in the rotation after returning from a thumb injury that placed him on the 60-day injured list.
  • In the fifth inning, Toronto extended their lead to 7-0 by scoring six runs without the opposing team registering an out, highlighted by a double steal where catcher Shea Langeliers mishandled a throw from shortstop Max Muncy, allowing a runner to score.
  • The Blue Jays' skipper noted that Scherzer was performing exceptionally well across the board and mentioned plans to adjust the pitching rotation to allow the veteran more recovery time.
  • Scherzer earned his first win in almost a year, becoming the first Toronto pitcher aged 40 or older to secure a victory since R.A. Dickey did so in 2015, as the Blue Jays continue to lead the AL East with 13 wins in their last 15 games.
