His pitching was overwhelming, which was unprecedented for him to return to injury. After a clean three-out inning with one strikeout against Nick Loftin, Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinny Pasquantino in the top of the first inning, he showed off his powerful pitching by hitting 13 hitters in a row until he got a two-base hit against MJ Melendez after one out in the top of the fifth inning.

Melendez’s double struck out Hunter Renfroe and struck out Nelson Velazquez, who grounded out to second, to overcome the crisis. Scherzer gave up the mound to Jose Urena in the top of the sixth inning when his team led 3-0. He pitched 57 strikes (39).

Scherzer, who boasts an annual salary of 43.3 million U.S. dollars, went through a long tunnel of rehabilitation after undergoing back disc surgery in December last year. Since then, he has elevated his senses to one loss and 4.91 ERA without winning three Minor League Triple-A games, and became the winning pitcher for the first time in 285 days since the game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sept. 13 last year.

Scherzer added four more strikeouts on the day, elevating his career to 3,371 strikeouts. It was the moment when he tied for 11th in strikeouts in the history of Major League Baseball along with legendary golfer Greg Maddox. Texas, which is ranked third in American League West, beat Kansas City 4-0 to sweep the three consecutive games for a four-game winning streak.

The game was decided in the bottom of the fourth inning. With first-runner Adolis Garcia walking and Nathaniel Lowe hitting an infield hit, Wyatt Langford hit an RBI double, and Leody Tavares hit a timely two-run homer to left. Josh Smith, the first-runner in the bottom of the seventh inning, hit a solo homer to seal the victory.
