Texas Defeated By Blue Jays, 5-3
Starting pitcher Max Scherzer pitched well enough to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Texas Rangers, 5-3. The winner was Toronto reliever Erik Swanson, now 5-3. The loser was Yuki Matsui. Josh Winder got the save, his 1st in 1 chances.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Bryce Harper came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Texas pitcher Camilo Doval, he hit a 0-1 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Toronto on top, 5-3.

"Max did what Max does," said Toronto manager Dan D.

Today's win puts Toronto at 57-68, while Texas falls to 51-74.
