ARLINGTON, Texas -- Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer moved into 10th place on the career strikeout list, and the most among active pitchers, when the Texas Rangers right-hander recorded his 3,394th Thursday against the Chicago White Sox.

Scherzer passed fellow three-time Cy Young winner Justin Verlander with his third of the game after Eloy Jiménez took a 93.3 mph fastball for a called third strike in the second inning. Scherzer had matched his former teammate with his second strikeout, when Andrew Vaughn swung and missed an 83.
