Max Scherzer posts 7 Ks, 114 pitches and a classic moment in potential final game of MLB career

Toronto Blue Jays veteran Max Scherzer delivered a stellar performance that could mark the conclusion of his storied career, securing a five to one win against the Cincinnati Reds. The forty-two-year-old right-hander tossed one hundred fourteen pitches across seven frames, allowing just six hits and one run while collecting seven strikeouts and one walk.

When manager John Schneider visited the mound with two outs in the seventh, Scherzer insisted on staying in to finish his frame before exiting to a warm family embrace in the stands. Scherzer stated he will defer any choices regarding his playing future until later in the offseason, leaving open the possibility of a eventual Cooperstown induction for a resume featuring three Cy Young honors, eight All-Star selections, and two World Series titles.
