The Toronto Blue Jays defeat the Seattle Mariners 7-0, completing a three-game sweep. Max Scherzer starts and throws seven scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and one walk while striking out 10. Two additional Blue Jays relievers join the effort, and the teams combine for a one-hit shutout.
Offensively, Toronto scores early and adds runs throughout, with Alejandro Kirk and Kazuma Okamoto hitting home runs. The win extends the Mariners’ losing streak to four games. Yahoo Sports and the Winnipeg Free Press both highlight Scherzer’s milestone: he passes Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry for ninth on the MLB career strikeouts list, reaching 3,535 strikeouts.
The outlets differ mainly in emphasis—one focuses on Scherzer’s dominance and career ranking, while the other also foregrounds the overall sweep and the combined pitching performance—but both describe the same outcome and milestone.
