Did we just watch a Hall of Fame pitcher throw his last pitch in the World Series?

"Scherzer didn't have his best stuff, although his fastball was buzzing and velocity was the best it's been in five years. However, this is a Dodgers team that can attack the fastball and isn't afraid of speed and they managed to string together a couple of hits and bring in a single run in both the second and the third inning to go up 2-0."

"But the Blue Jays responded with a four-run fourth inning, giving Scherzer his first lead of the game and a two-run cushion to work with. He got through the bottom of the fourth inning unscathed but only managed to get one out in the top of the fifth, before John Schneider came out of the dugout and the Blue Jays manager pulled his starter, this time without any fireworks from Scherzer."

"Scherzer responded emphatically that he was fine and to just let him get back to work. Scherzer then got out of the inning and also got two more outs in the following inning, before Schneider decided that his night was officially done - and Scherzer exited the game with a pitching line of 5.2 innings pitched with two earned runs on three hits and five strikeouts."

Max Scherzer started Game 3 of the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays against the Los Angeles Dodgers and departed after 4.1 innings with a two-run lead. His fastball velocity was the best it's been in five years, but he did not have his vintage stuff and the Dodgers attacked the fastball to score in the second and third innings. The Blue Jays answered with a four-run fourth inning, giving Scherzer his first lead. Manager John Schneider removed Scherzer in the fifth; Scherzer nodded and appeared fine. Earlier in the ALCS, Schneider had removed Scherzer after 5.2 innings and five strikeouts.
