Pitcher Max Scherzer calls his return for the Blue Jays a good check mark

Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer pitched five innings and gave up three runs Wednesday night in his first appearance for the Toronto Blue Jays since March. “That's a good check-mark sign,” Scherzer said. Scherzer gave up six hits and three walks on 83 pitches with four strikeouts after recovering from an inflamed right thumb that caused him to go on the injured list.
