Max Scherzer fanned 12 while limiting the Mariners to a run over eight innings in a no-decision Wednesday.

It was Scherzer's fourth career start with at least 12 strikeouts, three of which have come in the last year. He's up to 30 strikeouts in 19 innings for 2013, which is an improvement over his AL-best rate from last year.
