"SEATTLE -- The stuff might not have been vintage Max Scherzer, the three-time Cy Young Award winner and future Hall of Famer who once possessed one of the best fastballs in the game, but the 41-year-old has accumulated a wealth of pitching knowledge during his 18 seasons and more than 3,000 innings in the majors. Most importantly: The vintage Scherzer intensity remains unmatched."
"Scherzer, making his first start of the postseason after a difficult end to the regular season, allowed two runs and three hits over 5 2/3 innings to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to an 8-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night to even the American League Championship Series at two games apiece. Scherzer's famous ferocity was on display in the fifth inning, when manager John Schneider came out"
Max Scherzer allowed two runs and three hits over 5 2/3 innings as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 8-2 to even the American League Championship Series at two games apiece. Scherzer displayed his trademark intensity, yelling "I'm good! Let's go!" at manager John Schneider during a brief fifth-inning mound visit and finishing the inning by striking out Randy Arozarena with a 79 mph curveball. He departed after 87 pitches following a two-out walk in the sixth. Scherzer struggled late in the regular season, posting a 9.00 ERA over his final six starts.
