EDGE Analysis

It wasn't quite the start that Scherzer might have hoped for in his Texas debut, as the right-hander allowed back-to-back singles and two walks in the first inning, leading to three runs. He settled in after that however, shutting out the White Sox over the next five innings while fanning nine batters, marking just his fourth start this season with at least nine strikeouts. Scherzer has won each of his last two starts, though he's now issued at least two walks in seven straight outings.
