Scherzer did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over four innings while striking out two.
Scherzer struck out two of the first three batters he faced and got through the opening frame unscathed before allowing three consecutive batters to reach in the second, leading to one run coming across for Seattle. The veteran right-hander then coughed up a leadoff homer to Julio Rodriguez to open the third and was relieved by Jack Leiter after completing four innings. Scherzer's two strikeouts on the night marked his second-lowest total of the season in that category, though the Rangers have to feel good about him walking away from the mound without any setbacks in his first start since returning from the 15-day injured list.
