Max Scherzer shuts out Mariners in Toronto Blue Jays victory

Max Scherzer limited the Seattle Mariners to one hit over seven innings to secure a 7-0 victory for the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre on August 30, 2026. The 42-year-old pitcher recorded 10 strikeouts in the performance, passing Gaylord Perry for ninth place on the all-time MLB strikeout list with 3,535 career strikeouts. Alejandro Kirk contributed a two-run home run in the first inning against Logan Gilbert, while Kazuma Okamoto added a solo shot later in the game. Seattle struggled offensively, managing only one walk and a double from Cal Raleigh throughout the contest. The loss adds to a difficult stretch for the Mariners, who currently hold the lowest-ranked pitching staff in the majors since the All-Star break.
