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.

The Toronto Blue Jays will aim to keep their recent winning success going when they face the Athletics for a weekend series this July 11-13 prior to the All-Star break
