Scherzer allowed just one hit and three walks while striking out six over seven scoreless innings Sunday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer was given a 1-0 lead in the fifth that was eventually blown by Trevor Gott in the eighth to spoil the chance for a win. The 38-year-old put together one of his most dominant starts of the season and managed to not give up a home run for the first time since June 1. After giving up nine runs in his past 11 innings, Sunday's outing was a very encouraging performance from Scherzer, who now owns a 3.99 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 107:26 K:BB in 94.2 innings. He's set up to face Boston on the road over the coming week.
