On the day he recorded his 3,000th career strikeout, Max Scherzer also got to within five outs of throwing a perfect game in the Dodgers' 8-0 win over the Padres.
Max Scherzer zoomed past another signpost on his way to Cooperstown, N.Y., on Sunday, barely pausing to mark the 3,000th strikeout of a distinguished 14-year career that will likely culminate with his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner retired the first 22 batters he faced, but five outs away from a perfect game — a feat accomplished by only 23 major league pitchers — Scherzer gave up a one-out double in the eighth inning to Hosmer, who laced a 2-and-1 changeup into the right-field corner.Mookie Betts hits a three-run home run and Joe Kelly gets the Dodgers out of an eighth-inning jam in a 5-4 victory over the San Diego Padres.
After striking out Trent Grisham with an 85-mph changeup to open the game, Scherzer carved out another slice of history in the second when he threw the third immaculate inning of his career, striking out Fernando Tatis Jr., Hosmer and Tommy Pham on nine strikes, all swinging, three of which were fouled off.
Of the 18 pitchers in baseball’s exclusive 3,000-strikeout club, all but four — Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling, CC Sabathia and Justin Verlander — are in the Hall of Fame. Sabathia retired after 2019 and is not yet eligible for Hall-of-Fame voting, and Verlander is still active. The Dodgers caught a huge break when Snell, who has been almost as dominant as Scherzer since early August, suffered a left adductor injury on his 11th pitch of the game and departed with two outs in the first.
