  "summary": "Max Scherzer and two relievers combined for a one-hitter as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 7-0 on Sunday, completing a three-game sweep. Scherzer, who struck out a career-high 10 batters, moved past Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry and into ninth place on the all-time strikeouts list. Alejandro Kirk and Kazuma Okamoto each homered for the Blue Jays, with Okamoto driving in the decisive run in the sixth inning. This victory marks Scherzer's first win since March 31, 2023.",
