But right now, he\u2019s 41 years old, and he was so bad late in the season \u2014 a 9.00 ERA in his last six starts \u2014 that the Blue Jays didn\u2019t even put him on their division series roster. In a longer series, though, the Blue Jays needed another starter, so they turned to the most accomplished pitcher on their roster. <\/p>\n<p>And for 5 2\/3 innings he was, in some ways, his old self. <\/p>\n<p>Scherzer allowed two runs on three hits and the Blue Jays beat the Mariners 8-2 to even the series at two games apiece. Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez drove in four runs, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered, and four Blue Jays relievers finished the game without allowing a run. <\/p>\n<p>Manager John Schneider almost pulling Scherzer in the fifth inning was the lasting image of the game, as Scherzer barked at his skipper to let him stay in the game.

If I jog, you can talk me out of it. I started walking. He just went, \u2018NO!\u2019 So I proceeded to jog. Before I got there, he goes, \u2018I\u2019m good. I\u2019m f\u2014\u2014 good!\u2019 I said, \u2018Are you? Are you sure?\u2019 And he went, \u2018YEAH!\u2019 And I went, you better f\u2014\u2014 execute then. And he said, \u2018I f\u2014\u2014 will!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scherzer did, delivering a late-career highlight that gave the Blue Jays a chance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Max Scherzer is going to be a Hall of Famer.
