The only hit Lorenzen allowed was a two-run homer in the first inning, but he bounced back with five straight scoreless frames to notch his first win since April 29.

He'll carry a 5.15 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 75:36 K:BB across 80.1 innings into a home matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Scherzer (thumb) threw 50 pitches over three innings in a simulated game with Single-A Dunedin on Sunday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Scherzer has been working his way back from a thumb injury that has limited him to just one start this season, which came all the way back on March 29. The right-hander is expected to throw an additional side session in the coming days at the organization's complex in Florida. Manager John Schneider said that Scherzer will be evaluated following the side session before the Blue Jays determine his next steps.

Sanchez (5-2) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out nine.

Sanchez was excellent Sunday, holding the Pirates to a lone run in the second inning. However, he departed the game in the eighth after issuing a leadoff walk to Oneil Cruz, who came around to score after the Phillies turned to the bullpen, sticking Sanchez with his first loss since April 22. The left-hander boasts a 3.10 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 83:28 K:BB through 13 starts (72.2 innings) this season. Sanchez currently lines up to face the Blue Jays at home in his next outing.
