Despite the loss, Scherzer still delivered seven quality innings and struck out eleven batters. Manager John Schneider added via Keegan Matheson, “The Thumb-O-Meter is good right now,” referencing the injury that cost Scherzer most of the first half. Scherzer also acknowledged that his pitch count reaching 96 was a good sign.

Despite Skubal tossing six scoreless innings, the Blue Jays got to the Tigers’ bullpen, scoring six runs in the final two innings, including a four-run ninth that featured three home runs by the visitors, leading to another 6-1 defeat.

Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer says one pitch from his Sunday start against the Tigers is going to keep him up at night.

In the ninth, Bo Bichette broke a scoreless tie in the eighth inning with a two-run single. The Blue Jays added insurance in the ninth inning with three home runs. Nathan Lukes, George Springer, and Vladimir Guerrero all went deep. It was the 18th of the season for Springer.
