EDGE Analysis

Scherzer was effective Sunday as he reached double-digit strikeouts for the sixth time this season. The only damage against him came in the seventh inning when the Rockies manufactured a run on a couple of infield hits and a sacrifice fly. Scherzer now owns a 2.27 ERA, which would be good for sixth in the league if he had enough innings to qualify. He will try to get back in the win column in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for next weekend against Washington.
