OKLAHOMA CITY -- Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer struck out five while retiring 12 of the 14 batters he faced Sunday in his long-delayed second rehab start for Triple-A Round Rock since offseason surgery for a herniated disk in his lower back.
Scherzer threw four scoreless innings, then exited the game after an eight-pitch walk that opened the fifth against Oklahoma City, an affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. That was the only walk for the three-time Cy Young Award winner who turns 40 on July 27.
The right-hander threw 37 of 53 pitches for strikes.
