Max Scherzer’s debut with the Texas Rangers ended up being one of his favorite kind of starts.
For the AL West leaders, it’s the kind of results they hope to keep getting from the three-time Cy Young Award winner., but you settle in and you catch a rhythm and you’re able to pitch deep into a ballgame,” Scherzer said. “That’s what I’m most happy about, I finished strong.”
“He couldn’t have had worse luck there early. You know, every ball they hit found holes,” Texas manager Bruce Bochy said. “But it just shows you how tough he is and what a great competitor he is. Logged a lot of pitches that first inning, but regrouped, reset.” “That’s what’s fun, is when the whole team has kind of a hand in it,” Scherzer said. “Everybody kind of did their job today, and we won as a team.”Will Smith worked the ninth for his 19th save in 21 chances after after Josh Sborz and Aroldis Chapman, the hard-throwing reliever acquired in a trade from Kansas City more than a month ago, worked scoreless innings.
“Typical experienced star that ends up giving up three runs in the first and kind of settles down and understands that he’s got to keep us right there and allow his team to come back,” White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said.
