"Max Scherzer made the start for the Blue Jays, and oh man did he ever look great. Ignoring the fact that he went four hitless innings with a strikeout and a walk, the 41-year-old's fastball sat 93.9 mph, and reached a tick just below 96 mph. His six whiffs were also tied for a game-high. With his injury troubles from last year seemingly behind him, it looks as if he could be ready for the season opener."
"Leading off the top of the ninth was Rafael Lantigua, who hit the game's only extra-base hit with a double. He stole third, and Sean Keys drew a walk to put runners on the corner with one out. Up stepped Jonatan Clase, who grounded out, but was able to beat out the double play for the run to come home."
The Blue Jays won a low-scoring Spring Training game against the Phillies 1-0, improving to 4-8-2. The game remained scoreless until the ninth inning when Rafael Lantigua doubled, stole third, and scored on a groundout by Jonatan Clase after Sean Keys drew a walk. Max Scherzer pitched four hitless innings with strong velocity, his fastball reaching nearly 96 mph. The Phillies' best scoring opportunity came in the sixth inning with two runners on base, but the Blue Jays turned a double play to escape. Chase Lee continued the no-hitter through a scoreless inning before Josh Fleming allowed two hits in the sixth.
