Rangers' Max Scherzer: Gets through four innings in return
Max 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.
