Max Scherzer, for one night at least, offered a throwback performance. “He was dominating areas up and down and out,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. Scherzer claimed his first victory since July 25 last year when he pitched for Texas and the Rangers defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-1.

Max Scherzer struck out eight batters over six innings to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Athletics 7-6 on Friday night.
