The Texas Rangers scored four runs while the Kansas City Royals scored zero runs.
Max Scherzer made his long-awaited 2024 debut after last pitching for the Rangers in Game 3 of the World Series. The good news? He had a perfect game into the fifth inning and pitched five scoreless innings while tying Greg Maddux for 11th all time in strikeouts.
But the inclusion of a mention of good news must mean that there is bad news, right? The bad news is Scherzer left after those five innings and after just 57 pitches with the telecast showing him favoring his hand before heading into the clubhouse.
