Texas Rangers Max Scherzer (39) won the starting match against Toronto Blue Jays Ryu Hyun-jin (36), but failed to laugh.

Scherzer started the game against Toronto at the Toronto Rogers Center in Ontario, Canada on the 13th (Korea Standard Time) and won 13 games of the season with 3 hits, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts and no runs in 5⅓ innings.

Scherzer, who recorded 72 pitches, blocked Toronto’s batters by using four-seam (32), change-up (12), curve (10), slider (10), and cutter (8). The maximum four-seam speed reached 96.1 miles (154.7 kilometers) per hour.

Scherzer, who showed off his powerful ball, won by decision against Ryu Hyun-jin, who recorded five hits (one home run) and one walk, five strikeouts and three runs in six innings. However, in the bottom of the sixth inning with one out, he complained of discomfort after catching a strike with a 73.8-mile (118.8-kilometer) curve ball to Bob Bissett. Scherzer, who talked to the trainer for a while, tried to throw the ball twice, but both took a wind-up position and eventually failed to throw the ball and went down the mound.바카라사이트

Major League Baseball’s official media MLB.com said, “Sherzer stopped pitching because of a cramp in his right triceps. Texas won 6-3, but the attention was still focused on the defeated ace. The club could not immediately provide a diagnosis. Scherzer is scheduled to conduct an MRI scan on the 14th.

Coach Bruce Bochy said, “We don’t want to put Scherzer at risk of injury. We don’t want to burden him. He said, ‘I will push to solve this problem quickly,’ and we replied, ‘No.’ We are not going to take any chances.”

Scherzer said, “I think I have a cramp. That’s the best explanation. I hope so. I’ve had cramps like this before. Then you can go out again when you’re back to normal. “However, I got a cramp on the mound and tried to solve it while moving, but it didn’t work out in the end,” he explained.

MLB.com said, “The triceps problem is different from the tightness of Scherzer’s right arm recently. However, Scherzer speculated that the two problems may be related because tension and stress tend to move to areas connected by joints and muscles,” he said. Scherzer said, “The two parts may be related because the movements are connected to each other. That’s what I think. This is because the triceps area is more stressed when the forearms are tight. And suddenly, you know, I couldn’t handle my body properly.”

Scherzer signed a three-year, $130 million contract with the Mets last season. However, the Mets traded Scherzer to Texas ahead of the trade deadline as the team’s performance did not come out as expected this season.

Scherzer, who has 13 wins, 6 losses, and a 3.77 ERA in 27 games (152⅔ innings) this season, has been performing better than when he was with the Mets with 4 wins, 2 losses, and a 3.20 ERA in 8 games (45 innings) since his transfer to Texas.
