Max Scherzer allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Blue Jays’ 4-3 victory over the Royals on Saturday.

Scherzer gave up five hits, walked one and struck out two. He was coming off his best start of 2026 and maybe the last few years when he struck out 10 and shut the Mariners out for seven innings. Scherzer has completed at least five innings in six of his last seven starts after failing to complete four innings in five of his first seven starts this year. He has a 6.03 ERA on the season, but a 3.79 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 38 innings over seven starts since the beginning of August. Scherzer is lined up to face the Orioles at home next week.
